Add preset date ranges such as “Previous Month” when scheduling report generation
When scheduling report generation, it would be very helpful to have an option to select “Previous Month” (from the 1st to the last day of the previous month) as a preset date range.
It would also be useful to have additional preset options such as “Previous Year,” “Specific Month,” or “Specific Year” to easily configure commonly used reporting periods.2 votes -
Better Reporting Experience, Especially for Clients in Highly Regulated Environments
In general, I think Box Reporting needs to be an area for improvement. There should be more options for reports and more filters and ways to manipulate the reports in Box.
Something specific we would like to see is better reporting around Governance, especially with retention policies. We operate in a highly regulated environment where we needed detailed reporting around this information. There needs to be more granularity with reports, such as the Files and Folders report. We should be able to run a report that shows all root folders or be able to separate out folders and files. I've…

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…

Report output for file request links
Currently, administrators can view a list of file request links on the file request dashboard, but there are limited filtering options.
When a large number of file request links have been issued, it becomes difficult to find specific ones.
We would like to search for file request link information through a report, so I request the implementation of a file request link report.(In Japanese)
ファイルリクエストリンクのレポート出力現在、管理者であればファイルリクエストダッシュボードでファイルリクエストリンクの一覧を見ることができますが、フィルタリングの項目が少なく、ファイルリクエストリンクが多数発行されていると、任意のファイルリクエストリンクを探すことができません。
ファイルリクエストリンクの情報をレポートで出力して探したいので、ファイルリクエストリンクレポートを実装してほしいです。

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 ?

User Activity Report needs ADDITIONAL default date filters
To enable co-admins to schedule regular reports, additional default date filters are needed in the User Activity Report Date range selection. "Last 3 months", "Last 6 months" and "Year to date" would enable reports to be scheduled, rather than having to run the report manually because a Custom Range has to be selected for these periods

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?

Identify which files and folders a user owns within a shared Teams folder, that are not shared or collaborated with others
We encountered a situation where certain files inside a shared drive were only visible to one user, while others couldn’t access them. This caused confusion because the files appeared to be part of the shared structure but were effectively private. A feature that highlights or filters these user-owned, non-shared items would help prevent misunderstandings and improve transparency.

Folders and Files Report Filtering Settings
Request:
In the folders and files reports, we want to output the results filtered by the content's "Creation Date (range specified)" or "Upload Date (range specified)".example:
Output a list of content that was newly uploaded (or created) within a specific time range (MM/DD to MM/DD) stored in Boxmerit:
By carefully selecting only the minimum amount of information required to be output in a report, you can reduce the time it takes to output the report.
In addition, since there is no need to process the output reports, work efficiency can be improved.要望：
フォルダとファイルのレポートにおいて、コンテンツの「作成日(範囲指定)」や「アップロード日(範囲指定)」でフィルタした結果を出力したい。例：
Box内に保存されている特定の時間範囲(〇月〇日～△月△日)に新規アップロード(もしくは、作成)されたコンテンツの一覧を出力するメリット：
レポートで出力される対象の情報を必要最小限に厳選することで、レポート出力までの時間の削減になります。…4 votes -

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.

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…10 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)

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…
