Box allows you to set email notifications when actions have been performed within a Box folder that you are either a collaborator or owner of. Settings can be applied within your Box profile so that all Box folders will inherit the default notification settings. Additionally, Box allows you to override the default settings by allowing custom notifications to be applied per specific Box folder.
