    Hi King Ann, 

    Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

    "Someone" shows in notifications if the user is collaborating in a folder that has the option "Hide Collaborators" turned on and an action has been performed - in this case, deletion.

    Owners and Co-Owners of folders have the ability to "hide collaborators". With this enabled, collaborators with "Editor" access and below will not be able to see the names of the other collaborators in the folder (Co-Owners will be able to see all collaborators in the folder). When hidden, the word "Someone" will replace their name whenever necessary to maintain anonymity.

    You may find more information on this in  "Someone" Downloaded My Files - What Does This Mean?.

    Thanks for reaching out and let us know how else we can help!

    Regards,

    Hi France,

      Thanks for your reply. However, i found that my folders setting didn't enable the "Hide Collaborators". In fact, I do received some BOX update on the user's activities with names specified (refer to the picture below I snapshot). It could explains that it might not be the true reason for "someone" display in my BOX update. Can you please help to check further?

      Thank you

    Best Regards,

    King Ann

    Hi King Ann, 

    Looking at the notifications, it looks like these files are located on different folders as the paths seems different.

    Can you check once again if the "Hide Collaborators" is enabled/ disabled on these folder?

    I'll wait for your response!

    Regards,
