De-duplicate files/folders at scale across Box environment
Want to be able to quickly see all files where duplicate versions have been created and clean them up or consolidate

I, too, would love to be able to remove *all* file duplicates (i.e. V2, V3...) within a directory and subdirectories with a few clicks, rather than having to manually remove every single duplicate file individually.

This is one of the worst aspects of Box Drive (duplicate files and version control). I submit that there is no version control because it is completely uncontrolled. On a recent project, I actually had to download the Box file and cut and paste across files to get the most recent version of the file. It was a lot of extra work and was extremely costly. I am EXTREMELY disappointed by this aspect of what is supposed to be "next-generation" cloud storage.
