Enable Reliable Exports for Large amount of Content
When there’s a large amount of content, the folder and file report export gets canceled. Please make it possible to complete the export.
If exporting everything at once is difficult, splitting is fine—please allow selecting multiple folders and batching the export instructions.
大量のコンテンツがあるとフォルダとファイルレポートの出力がキャンセルされてしまいます。最後まで出力できるようにしてほしいです。
すべてを一括で出力するのが難しい場合は、分割でも構いません。複数のフォルダを選択して、出力指示をまとめて実行できるようにしてください。8 votes -
Request new report by file extension
While you can check rough file types from the storage in admin insights, there are many situations in operations where you need to understand capacity and file counts at the extension level. I would like to request a report that can show file sizes by extension. I also want it to support filtering by owner.
管理者インサイトのストレージから大まかなファイルタイプを確認できますが、運用では拡張子の粒度で容量や件数を把握したい場面が多くあります。拡張子ごとのファイルサイズを確認できるレポートの提供を希望します。所有者ごとのフィルタリングにも対応してほしいです。

Adjust Platform Activity Report to be Relative Timezone to User/Browser
Currently, the date picker for admin reports is relative to a user's browser settings. However, the Platform Activity Report just uses Pacific time (PST). Often, this can be inconsequential/unnoticed, but under the right conditions, such as if a report is scheduled to run before 9 AM EST, the report needs to push into the prior day in PST, so the output displays essentially a 1 day offset. This is confusing to customers when encountered, and the logic for the report itself should mirror everything else in Box (relative to a user's timezone settings - whether on the account, or their…

Co-admin permissions : report role has too many rights
If a user has only the report co-admin role ("Run new reports and access existing reports") to let him create reports for him, he can see other things in the admin console :
- Insights
- Content
- Reports (OK)
- Platform (with the Create Sandbox button !)Is it possible to secure this, so he can only see the Reports part ?

Reporting on Box Desktop Applications

Expand Column for Files and Folders Report
Sometimes I have users who ask for a files and folder report on a particular folder. After I receive the report I have to create an additional column for a link to the file/folder. I just use the existing information in the report, replace all F with f in the Item Type Column, and concatenate function in excel to create this. Would just like this to be a native addition for the report.
Excel function: =CONCAT("https://box.com/",[@[Item Type]],"/",[@[Item ID]])

Enable More than 2 Simultaneous Legal Hold Exports / Add Export Queue Management
Box currently limits legal hold exports to only two concurrent exports per account, which becomes a bottleneck when managing multiple cases, custodians, or data sets. There is no queueing mechanism or ability to start additional exports while the limit is reached—exports must be retried manually after completion. This slows down compliance workflows and creates operational friction for high-volume teams.

Regarding the time it takes for scheduled reports to be generated
Content: The Box support site mentions that report generation can take up to 12 hours.
Most reports are usually generated within a few minutes to a few tens of minutes, but scheduled reports often take about 12 hours to be output.
Although it is within the expected range, waiting half a day for the output affects business operations, so we request a functional improvement to shorten the time it takes for reports to be generated.(日本語)
件名：スケジュールされたレポートが出力されるまでの時間について
内容：Boxサポートサイトにレポートの生成には最大で12時間かかる場合があると記載されております。
ほどんどのレポートは数分から数十分程で出力されることが多いですが、スケジュールされたレポートの場合出力されるまでに12時間程かかることがとても多いです。
範囲内ですが、出力までに半日かかるのは業務に影響がある為、レポート出力されるまでの時間帯を短縮されるよう機能改善要望をします。25 votes -
API to execute and export Box report or notification services to receive alarts when usage is approaching or exceeding the allocated limit.
We would like to better monitor and manage the number of chargeable API calls, but without relying on manual checks via the Insights dashboard or executing and reviewing the Platform Activity Report (PAR). Instead, we seek a more automated and efficient solution.
Specifically, we request that Box either:
Provide a public API to retrieve relevant usage reports, or
Enhance the existing reporting functionality to allow administrators or designated users to receive alerts when usage is approaching or exceeding the allocated limit.
This would help ensure appropriate and proactive API usage management.

Request for API Access to Collaboration and Folder/File Reports for Admin
Hi Box team,
Ref case #3373797 and our recent conversation, we want to retrieve all collaboration data via the API instead of manually generating reports from the Admin Console. We understand report generation currently requires a manual trigger and no API exists for this.
The two main reports we’re interested in are:
- Collaborations
- Folders & FilesIs there any way to access these reports via API now or planned soon? If not, could you suggest any alternative for programmatic access?

User Activity Report - search by FILE ID
Enable Box Admins, when creating a User Activity Report to search by FILE ID .
Searching currently enables searches by file and folder NAME, and by FOLDER ID
Without this, it is necessary to run a UAR for the folder(s) in which the File ID has resided

Request to add output items to the Box Hubs Report
Could you please include the "Hub Settings" items in the output of the Box Hubs Report?
After a Hub is created, the creator configures access and collaboration settings for the Hub in "Hub Settings."
As Box administrators, we would like to have an overview of access and collaboration settings for each Hub.
While the settings can be checked individually in Content > Hubs by clicking into each Hub, it is necessary to open each one separately to confirm the configurations.
Therefore, it would be much more convenient if "Hub Settings" could be reviewed collectively in the report.15 votes -
File Request Upload report
Within either the user activity report or a new report, be able to report explicitly on files uploaded via File Request links, the report should allow for a File Request ID to allow for a specific upload set, or File Requests created by specific Users (including an option for File Request links where the link states 'Prior User'
The report should have the link, time/date, filename, path and size.Another option would be nice for a report that shows all inactive File Requests over the past, 30, 60, 90, 180, 360 days (or specific date from today)

Allow users without admin or co-admin permissions to output folder and file reports
Since folder and file organization (data movement, migration, etc.) is something that each user must do by themselves, users can organize their files at their own convenience.
It would be a hassle for both parties if the administrator had to output the list each time.
Therefore, We would like each user to be able to output a report of folders and files so that they can organize their files at their own convenience.[日本語訳]
フォルダやファイル整理（データ移動・移行等）は各ユーザが自身が実施するものであるため、ユーザーがファイル整理をしたいタイミングで
都度管理者が一覧を出力するのはお互いの手間がかかります。
そのため、ユーザーが好きなタイミングでファイル整理ができるように各ユーザーにてフォルダとファイルのレポートが出力できるようにしてほしいです。1 vote -
Add further columns to Shared Links report
In order to prepare a csv file to bulk update existing shared links, it is necessary to
A) run TWO reports - a BOX USERS Report (CLI command), and a SHARED LINKS ReportIf however, you wish to provide a list of shared links to each Box user who created the link(s), then a THIRD report is needed, a USER ACTIVITY Report (for max years, Items Shared action). This report needs to be filtered to show only the latest date/user that created the link (NB a shared link may be created more than once)
B) then the BOX USERS Report…

Enable Bulk Import of User Activity Report Schedule Settings via CSV
In our company, we create dedicated folders for each project to manage personal information.
For each project folder, we export a User Activity Report related to file management and share it with the inspectors responsible for each project on site.
Since this task needs to be performed regularly, we use the schedule feature of the report.Because the "Affected Folders and Files," "Invite as Viewer," and "Repeat Every" differ for each project, we have to manually configure the Schedule Report settings one by one for each case.
Currently, with Box's reporting feature, it is not possible to batch configure these…2 votes -
Add Annotation and Task details to User Activity Report
Currently the UAT does not include details about the actual text a user entered into a task or annotation (but does for comments). As the system allows those fields to be edited and/or deleted we must also now show those details so we know what was edited or deleted.

Metadata Report
Can we get a report that lists all the metadata values entered into a template for a folder or file. I have users that need reports of the values entered in their metadata templates to validate files and folders have the correct metadata.

Shared Links Report Enhancement - Report from a specified folder and below
I would like a filter to be added to the Shared Links Report where you can specify a specific folder and the report will run with that folder as the top level and report on shared links for everything below that. This would run much faster than running the report for our entire tenant.
We have much of our data owned by a "Project Account" so it is not controlled by a specific employee. Because of this, running the report with this user as the owner using the existing filter option is much the same as running a tenant-wide report.…
