Is it possible for me to adjust the settings of collaborators so they are notified anything is uploaded? It looks like I can only do it for myself and I don't want to make users change that setting themselves.

    Hi Patrick,

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Unfortunately, you cannot set up or adjust email notification settings for your collaborators.

    Different users collaborating in a folder can set their own specific folder-level email notifications and will see these options:

    • BOX1_iI9o_m_1eTVxEcCF9FHOtA.pngUse my default notification settings - If this option is enabled, you receive notifications according to your notification preferences in your Account Settings.
    • Override default settings for this folder and all subfolders - If this option is enabled, you can set custom notification preferences. To receive more or fewer notifications than usual for this folder and any subfolders, click check boxes under Notify me when someone.

    More details can be found in this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043696014-Understanding-Box-Folder-Settings 

    Thanks for your post and let us know how else we can help!

    Best,
