Pulling file-level user activity reports in bulk
I am trying to run a user activity report in Box. What I am hoping to see is which users accessed a set of files during a certain period of time.
I ran the User Activity report in Reports against the parent folders that I was hoping to review, the activity log that came back only shows actions taken on the parent folders, no activity is shown for any of the files within the folders.
Support has confirmed that there is no way to run this report against the sub-folders and sub-files of the folders selected.
Having this functionality is…

Workflow status report
We would like to have a report that gives us insight into the status of Box workflows. We would like to be able to see the individual steps of a workflow and how long the individual steps take, for example, to see if and where a workflow is stuck.

Allow the custom renaming of a report before it's run
All the reports have a standard name (i.e. useractivityrunon2022-11-01-14-38-28Page1) and there is no ability to create a custom name. As an admin we run more than a single report in an hour and that report may be associated with a user or file name we're searching for. We need the ability to be able to customize the report name that is relevant so we don't have 5-10 reports running that all start with useractivityrunon{date and time} for example.

Reports that allow you to see the history of apps added and removed from your account
Currently, there is no way for admin to see what apps users are adding.
Even if an app required by a tenant is set to "Add by default", the admin cannot see when it is removed by a user.We request that the history of apps added and removed from the account be added to the report so that it can be reviewed by the administrator.

＜アカウントのアプリの追加・削除履歴を確認できるレポート＞
現在ユーザーが追加しているアプリについて確認できる機能がありません。
テナントで必要なアプリを「デフォルトで追加」に設定されていても、ユーザーによって削除されたときに管理者が確認することができません。管理者から確認できるようにアカウントのアプリの追加・削除履歴をレポートに追加することを要望します。

Groups exportable Report needed
I think every organization's admin could use a quick User Groups report. Essentially it would look like the Groups page, with the addition of Shared Folders and names of members.
Columns:
Group Name
Created Date
Number of Members
Group's Admins
Group Members (Names)
Group Description

Report about the use of shared links
It would be great to have a report that shows you the usage information of the shared links: How many times the link has been used, which user (if registered) has used it and on which date.

Enable Box Admin (Content) search results to populate full-width screen, and shown FULL path of content
Having searched for a string " " in Box Admin/Content, the results for a folder do not show the FULL path of that folder, because the full path length is too long for the report width.
I have been advised by Box Support that this is expected.
I suggest that the report width should not be hard-wired (as is currently) to fit laptop-width. Instead, the folder path should wrap onto a new row, or if screen-size allows (eg external monitor), the full path is shown on the same row.
It should also be possible for users to change the width…

Enhance Box Reports to store metadata (parameters used) in output folder
Box Admin users regularly run several reports in a day or week, and may not read the content until days after run, and is difficult to identify the purpose it was run for, and the parameters used.
It would be helpful, and not difficult to do, for Box to save the parameters used when creating a report, and perhaps offer users a free-text field to store (at the time it is run) the reasons why it was being run
The following details should be available to view, when a report is completed:
- report type (eg Box Sign, Classification, Collaborations,…2 votes -

Consistent data size output from folder and file report
Don't shorten, or allow us to choose if we want the file sizes shortened (KB, MB, GB) when calling the Files & Folders report. Full data sizes would allow for much more consistent and streamlined ingestion into data analytics tools like PowerBi.

Custom Identifiers that can be seen in user reports
Customer Requests the ability to upload custom identifiers that can be seen when running user reports. Currently they use the user's email address to determine if a license is needed, and when a name change occurs, this creates confusion as it appears that the person may have left and the license is no longer needed.

Email-to-folder Security Concern - Need Visibility
Need a report based on email-to-folder entries. Our cyber-security platform recently flagged a change in auto-forwarding to a Box email address (one of those cryptic folder addresses), but I cannot find the folder that contains the feature turned on. The User Activity Report has a column, "Details" that shows "Service: Email Folder," but I don't see our suspect folder listed. Maybe there have been no emails going there yet- but this is a security concern that needs clarification. Should be an easy report to build, the records exist in your database. Thanks.

Ability to export "Direct Links" from box in reports
We have the ability to export "Shared links" but would like the ability to also export "Directly Links" as well.
We use box to host 6k plus folders and files. Inside those are some PNG files that , when direct links are on can open up directly to the PNG file instead of the traditional view with the box logo on the top left. This helps us post product in our website with a more professional full screen view that direct links provide.

Ability to detect which Box client is running on a user's device
It would be very helpful to build out functionality to detect which Box client is installed on a user's machine from within the portal to assist with product troubleshooting.

We would like you to be able to specify the person who operated and the target folder and file when outputting by specifying "restore from trash" in the activity report.
Currently, if you know the item name for sure, it will not be searched if it has been moved to the Recycle Bin, and you cannot specify items in the target folder and file items.
If it becomes possible to specify when reporting even if it has been moved to the trash,
It is a useful clue when conducting research.(In Japanese)

"Last Modified By" criteria as an option within Folder and Files report
Why isn't "Last Modified By" criteria an option within Folder and Files report? This information should automatically included. It doesn't make sense why we can't query this information.

We want to be able to output a log of access to a folder as a report
We want to prohibit access to folders with each access right more than necessary.
We want you to add a function that can acquire the access log to the folder as a monitoring method for that.supplement:
We are not considering removing access rights as a way to ban access.
We strongly hope for this feature as a way to monitor it.(Japan)
各アクセス権限のあるフォルダに対しても、必要以上にアクセスするのは禁止したい。
そのための監視する方法としてフォルダへのアクセスログを取得できる機能を追加して欲しい。補足:
アクセスを禁止する方法としてアクセス権の削除は検討してません。
