Make admin console reports (Folders & Files, Collaborations, Shared Links) run at scale
I saw on the Community site that there is a 10 million item limit, but my company has way more items than that. It is important for us to have these reports for security audits.

Ability to manage suppression lists
Administrator not able monitor and allow to release own User from Suppression List is a big not good (Cause we won’t know if anyone being accidentally suppress. Till next time User alert and we check to email Spam, check external Mail Security than last check to BOX). When User being capture and put under Suppression List can the system send Administrator notification message and preview and/or release; instead log case check to BOX Support??!
204 votesWe are excited to introduce Suppression List Management for Administrator, a solution designed to streamline the process of handling suppression lists with ease.
Previously, customers had to reach out to Product Support to solve the problem with Notification delivery. With this new feature, Box Administrators can remove Users from the Suppression List without the need to contact the Box Support team. This feature will be available in the Admin Console under the Notification tab.

Allow admins to report on activity of external collaborators.
We want to report on external collaborator usage of our specific content for a number of reasons:
1) to be able to access if their external collaborators are no longer using our data and should be removed
2) to help us understand how their internal users are working with people outside of the enterprise.
Right now, the reporting is limited to showing when people have accepted folders, or users can go to access stats - neither of these options is sufficient.
Ability to see activity of external Collaborators.
a. Downloads, uploads, previews, edits, etc.
b. We can see my managed…117 votes -
Make it easier to filter events that occurred in a particular folder (including subfolders)
Use Case:
- There's a parent folder with multiple levels of sub folders.
- This parent folder is shared out to a group or some external collabs
- Parent folder's owner wants to know how many downloads have happened from the parent folderCurrently, seems like there's two ways to do this but neither are scalable or easy to do if the folder tree is complex:
Option 1:
Run Usage Logs on all download events over the given time period
Export the report
Use Excel or some other program to filter off of the "Contained in folder" column
This requires…78 votes -
Group/User based app access control
Ability to control access to each apps based on groups and users.
Requesting in addition to below pulse, as Admin Console currently only allows enterprise wide setting for each app access control.
https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/3837704871 votesDear Customers,
In the context of this feature request, we are excited to announce that it is now also possible to selectively enable integration apps to particular managed users and groups.
More information is available in our published announcement.
We will be happy to hear your feedback, also at an upcoming Box Community Roundtable on October 24th (register here).
Thank you,

Last Activity - Add 'Last Activity' Info & Sort Option to Managed Users Page
We currently do not expose the 'Last Activity' field for Managed Users anywhere in the Admin Console.
This is a very helpful piece of information for admins to have easy access to in order to get a good idea, quickly, whether a user has recently been active in Box or not.
REQUEST:
--Add a 'Last Activity' field/value for each user in the list of users on the Managed User page
--Add 'Sort By: Last Active Date' to the Managed Users page so that admins can easily see who is recently (or not recently active)71 votes -

"Select All" or "Select All Folders/Subfolders" when running a report on a specific folder
When running a report on a "Selected Folder" would be helpful to be able to "Select All" or "Select All Folders/Subfolders" versus having to select each and every file/folder.

Add ability for administrators to prevent managed users from changing their profile information.
Most importantly, prevent managed users from changing their display name to something inappropriate ("CEO")

Shared Link Details: Add 'Date Created' Column
The Shared Link Details report is a great report currently that provides admins a wealth of information when performing an 'inventory' or security review of all existing shared links.
One additional column that would be very helpful to include is a 'Date Created' column that would provide a date entry for each shared link. This information is currently reported in Usage Logs, but is essentially impossible for an admin to correlate between the Shared Link Details report and the Usage Logs export for 'Item Shared' entries.
Add a 'Date Created' column to the Shared Link Details report.
This would be…

Group Admin - Customizable Permissions
Currently the Group Admin role is an all or nothing option, which, for some, provides far too many permissions (instant log in, etc.).
Just like Box has customizable co-admin roles, Group Admin permissions should be split out in the same way.

Enhance Box reporting feature
Box’s limited and slow reporting abilities are frustrating for their customers. This has been the same for past 7+ years of me working on Box.
It makes harder for IT teams to believe and justify to our business users that an application that cannot spin a basic out of box report on stored content for days, is the “Enterprise “ solution we recommend for our public company. And we have no other option but to wait for days for the report to “hopefully” work.

We released an improvement to the Groups UI to allow the full group and folder names to be displayed. Long group and folder names will now wrap to subsequent lines so you will not have to hover over each group or folder name to view the full name.

Add the ITEM ID to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder) in order to join to Files and Folder report on ID
Add the item id to the User Activity report (when activity is against a file or folder). This would allow the User Activity events to be joined to the Files and Folders report data in order to report on activity against files and folders. An example report would be a list of all activity (Downloads, Previews, etc...) for a specific Box account. Currently the User Activity report only shows the activity that a specific user has done, but not what activities have been done against the content owned by a specific user. This would allow for a wide range of…

Collaborations Report: Add User Filter (same as Usage Logs)
Add ability to filter (like on Usage Logs) before running the report to avoid having to pull the report for all users (which takes quite a while as we know), then filter down in Excel.
Two Key Filter-able Options:
--Filter by Managed User
--Filter by Folder by choosing user -> choose folder OR by searching for folder nameThe Collaborations report is basically unusable as a large company due to the size of the report that's generated -- it's not scalable for us to have to pull the report for all users and filter down in Excel.
