  1. Trash deletion is explicitly reported in the Events stream

    Today, when item(s) are deleted from the trash it shows up in the Events stream as a general DELETE event. You are not able to tell if the item was in trash or a regular folder. Would be great to have a distinction of event type such as DELETE vs DELETEFROMTRASH.

    This is important because there are scenarios to identify when a file is emptied from Trash and thus unrecoverable (outside the 14 day window).

  2. Privileged delete

    This notion exists with legacy storage or RM systems. From a business perspective, this is something we would need in case of business divestiture.

    Then, content under retention related to the divested branch/subsidiary/activity would have to be transferred to its new owner.

  3. Permissions requirements to apply retention Governance

    The "view users content" setting is needed to apply retention policies to content that you don't personally have access to.

    This setting is quite restrictive given that only one person in our company has "view users content" access.

    It seems like there should be an additional setting or way to apply retention to users content without relying on this checkbox

    This is available for the CSM, but not for the admin to run themselves.

  5. Add or modify accepted invite action so that an admin can easily see all folders that a user has auto-accepted

    If a user invites a set of users that has auto-accept invites on, the action the invitation shows up under is >Auto accepted collaboration invite<. You cannot search for the user that accepted it. This action shows under the user that invited the collaborator.

    However, if the user does not have auto-accept on, it shows up under both >invited collaborator< and >accepted invite.<

    Basically, if a user does not have auto-accept on, it is easy to find accepted invite and what folders they manually accepted. If a user has auto-accept on, there is no way to search for them easily…

  7. Ability to report on files moved from managed enterprise folder to external collaborator folder

    Show when content is moved out of a folder managed by the enterprise into another folder managed by an external collaborator. We would like to at least see the Move event surfaced in the audit logs.

  8. Add Metadata Template name to Details column for Metadata > 'Edit attributes' action

    Currently, when you run a report for Metadata > 'Edit attribute' you cannot see the metadata template whose attribute was changed. This makes the action much less useful to an admin.

    For example, if there were 2 metadata templates plus a classification policy on a file, and an attribute value in one of those templates were changed, it would be impossible from Usage Logs to see which template an attribute was actually changed.

    This information is already exposed in the Enterprise Event.

    Currently, Usage Logs are only available in the Admin Console UI for 1 year, but 7 years via Admin Console export.

    REQUEST: Allow viewing Usage Logs in the UI for as long as they're able to be exported (i.e., 7 years).

  15. Update user endpoint to allow admins to retrieve a list of all unconfirmed users

    Currently, admins cannot retrieve a list of all users whose primary email addresses are not confirmed. Admins may get confused if they try to edit a user whose primary address is not yet confirmed, as this currently triggers a permissions/403 error.

  16. Correct log when a user creates an item in Box

    Currently, "Uploaded" and "Downloaded" are logged when a user creates an item like Word document, Box Note etc.

    However, it should be logged as "Created".

  17. Usage Logs - Indefinite Timeframe for Retrieval (Extend Current 7 Year Limit)

    Currently Box Usage Logs are retained by Box for 7 years. Box customers can export up to 7 years worth of Usage Logs from the Box Admin Console.

    As a customer, I want that 7 year limit to be raised to 'indefinitely,' meaning we can pull Usage Logs for actions taken at any point in time, not just the past 7 years.

    REQUEST: Remove 7 year limit for Admin Console Usage Logs exports.

  18. Display Collaboration Invite as account Creator in Daily User Account Creation Summary Email.

    Admin for enterprise is requesting to add Collaboration Invite as an account creator in Daily User Account Summary Email and Report's display results online.

    Admin received Daily User Account Summary email and it did not display the creator of some accounts within the email. It was represented by "--" in the field.

    The Admin ran a report and the results were the same when displayed within the window.

    Only when the user exported the report were they able to see that the accounts were created through a collaboration invite.

    Not planned for now. I’m interested in additional information. Do you plan to notify users directly about this?

  20. Ability to report on what types of files users have

    The ability to drill down at the user level to show what kinds of files a user has. E.g. 50% .docx, 10% jpg etc. without looking at the content itself.
