Why this helps
Folder access changes silently in Box and your team doesn't realize they've lost permissions or new people have gained access.
- Team is notified instantly when folder access changes
- No surprises about who has permission to what
- Audit trail of access changes in Linear
- Reduced friction from unexpected lockouts

Questions about this workflow
Can I get alerted only for certain access levels?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Alert me if a folder becomes accessible to anyone' or 'Only notify on restricted access changes.'
Does it show who made the change?
Yes. The notification includes who changed the settings.
Can I prevent certain folders from being shared?
Tell Notis to alert you and you can take action. You can also set up rules to auto-restrict sensitive folders.
