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.

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?

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…

Addition report of additional information for functions
Addition report of additional information for functions
日本語：レポート機能における付帯情報の付与The format of file names and folder names in report output is created using a fixed wording.
Because the report is not output immediately and is output periodically,
I would like a function to add additional information so that I can understand what the intention was when outputting.Specifically, I think it would be good to do the following:
- When outputting a report, add an arbitrary suffix to file and folder names to differentiate them.
・When outputting a report, provide a comment input field and add it to the description field…9 votes -
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.

I would like the "Shared Link Report" to display information about the issuer of the shared link
Currently, the "Shared Link Report" does not output information about the issuer of a shared link, so you will need to check this in the "User Activity Report."
It is very inconvenient to have to print out two reports each time, so we would like to request an improvement to the functionality so that information about the issuer of the shared link is also displayed in the "Shared Link Report."

A user with folder owner or co-owner privileges outputs a “Collaboration Report”.
Currently, only administrators can output the "Collaborations Report" .
In order to see who is collaborating, we want to allow users with folder owner or co-owner privileges can output a "Collaborations Report" for the appropriate folder.

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

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]

Request for Additional Output Items in the User Details Report
Could we enable the User Details report to include the user's registration date on Box? Specifically, we would like to propose adding a column titled "User Registration Date."
This information is necessary for user management.
Currently, we have to request this information from Box regularly.
If we could verify it directly in the report, it would eliminate the need for inquiries to you.1 vote -
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.

Include item type in user activity report
When running an User Activity report, the Item ID is included, but not the Item Type. If you're trying to use the Activity report to perform some other action, you have to figure out what the item type is before you can perform the action. Additionally as ?good practice? you should make check both file & folder to ensure that you're not going against the wrong actual item if there's a item with the same type on the other endpoint.
It would save some significant time on report consumer's side if the item type was included in the output report.

Setting Output Destination for Box Reports
I want to be able to set the output destination folder name or file name for Box reports. Since it is necessary to regularly create activity logs for each team and project, I want to be able to distinguish which department or project the report belongs to by folder name or file name.

I like to be able to see on the "Saved Reports" screen whether scheduled report is still active.
Currently, the "Report Status" screen does not allow you to determine whether a saved report is enabled for regular output, so you must check the "End Date" on the "Edit Schedule" screen, which requires some work.
I would like to see the display improved so that it is easier to understand that regular output is enabled on the "Saved Reports" screen.

admin reports free version
Is there a way to review whether an invited collaborator has downloaded anything from the shared folder? I have a collaborator that is fearful that his access may have been hacked and we are trying to figure out if anyone tried to download any files from the shared folder. I have the free version so I'm not sure if I have any reporting tools.
