    Happy to review. Can you provide more clarity on the use case/reason here? Are you hitting a scale issue, or is there some data you’d like added to the report?

  3. Admin console insights into Box University completion by users

    It would be awesome to see reporting in the admin console based on users completion of any Box Education courses to give better insight into end user training.

  4. The ability to copy collaboration information from one existing folder to another

    There are cases in which we wants to invite collaborators who are invited to one folder to another folder with the same permissions.

    If we have users with the same permissions, we can save time by inviting multiple users at once or creating a group.
    However, setting different permissions for each user takes man-hours and is prone to error if it is checked only checked visually.

    It would be useful to be able to the ability to set the collaborator permissions of an already created folder to another folder as is.

    <フォルダのコラボレーション情報を別のフォルダにコピーできる機能>
    あるフォルダのコラボレータを、別のフォルダにも同じ権限で招待する場合があります。

    同じ権限のユーザーであれば複数まとめて招待したり、グループを作成することで手間を省くことはできますが、
    ユーザー毎に異なる権限を設定する場合、工数もかかり、目視のみの確認だとミスが発生しやすいです。

    既に設定済のフォルダのコラボレーションしている情報を、そのまま別のフォルダに設定できる機能があると便利です。

  5. Additional columns in User activity report

    User activity report provide events of "Approved Task" and "Rejected task"

    Currently, User activity report provide just following events:
    Assigned a task
    Updated a task assignment
    Created a task

    Therefore, administrator cannot detect events of "Approved Task" and "Rejected task" These information should be provided in the report to know when the task was approved or rejected.

  6. View saved reports generated by other users

    Currently, a co-admin can view reports run by other users, but not save reports created by other users. We would like our IT Service Desk to create on demand monthly reports that we would provide to some of our content owners. This would require all members of our IT Service Desk to have visibility over all existing scheduled reports

  7. Block users from placing content into File Explorer locations that they don't have rights to within Box

    The current user experience can be confusing to the user, because they are able to place files into File Explorer even though they don’t have rights within Box to write to that location. Box Drive does issue notices that the files are not syncing to the server; however, this can still create an issue for novice users, since the files still exist within File Explorer and allow the user to make changes to the files locally. It would be preferred if Box Drive blocked the user from placing anything into that location within File Explorer.

  8. Add an identifier that ADFS can find that app is Box for EMM in User-Agent.

    Could you please consider adding an identifier that ADFS can find that app is Box for EMM in User-Agent.

    We found Box for EMM does not include any identifier like "Box for EMM" in its User-Agent when doing authentication with MAM checked-in. We just only allow access that "Box for EMM" includes in User-Agent. Therefore, ADFS cannot determine whether an application is Box for EMM or not and the user is unable to access from Box for EMM.

  9. User Activity report to filter Sign activity by folder

    When running the User Activity report for Sign activity, you cannot apply the folder parameter. If the folder parameter is used, then the report will generate empty since Sign activity is reported at the "enterprise level" instead of the "folder level."

    Requesting that this report allows the folder parameter to pull Sign activity to prevent the need to manually filter the report post-export.

  10. Not inviting a user on a single file via SFC when the user is already collaborated through group

    Currently, when single file collaboration (SFC) happens where an invited user is collaborated via Group, it doesn't catch the fact that the user already has an access permission

  11. Force Box Drive to sync status with Box every time file is touched .

    for example: User A locks a file, User B opens the file in drive (the lock status still hasn’t sync’d down user’s machine yet)
    User B edits the file and tries to save but Drive will show that it wasn’t able to save back the change to box and creates a problematic file.
    User B closes the file, and then reopens the file. The change User B made still shows up.
    Onedrive checks for the latest status every time it opens a file or when you try to save a file it will sync status with what is in…

  13. allowing admins to sort by what folder permissions a user has so we can mirror those for another user

    allowing admins to sort by what folder permissions a user has so we can mirror those for another user. Right now, I can't sort by permissions under a user. I have to manually scroll down the whole folder structure and then have another window open with the user that needs the same permissions to the same folders, and add them manually. Why can't we sort by folder owner, or permission?

  14. Provide read-only scope for user information

    I'd like to provide our central identity management team a way to tell whether or not a given Box user has a > 0 byte usage before they delete the user's account (for example, as someone leaves our organization). I'd like to give them read-only API access to https://api.box.com/2.0/users, without giving them any additional access. Support tells me that this isn't currently possible. It'd be nice if it was--this could be useful for a number of other uses, too, such as reporting.

  15. Ability for users to track activity

    In the Closed configuration ,Only admins and co-admins can track activity on the files listed at the URLs below.
    Users cannot be tracked.
    If users can export reports, they can perform on themselves statistical analysis.
    As a result, it becomes possible to actively use Box.
    So I want users to be included in the targets that can be exported.

  16. Filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated in the user detail report.

    Content:
    Currently, the user detail report cannot filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated,
    and it is necessary to check while cross-referencing with the user list on the Users and Groups screen.
    Additionally, the unmanaged user list on the Users and Groups screen can take up to 24 hours to reflect changes,
    which may cause discrepancies with the information at the time of report output, reducing operational efficiency.
    I request the implementation of a feature that can filter unmanaged users who have not been collaborated.

    タイトル: ユーザー詳細レポートで、コラボレーションされていない管理されていないユーザーをフィルタリングする。
    内容:
    現在のユーザーの詳細レポートでは、コラボレーションされていない管理対象ユーザーをフィルタできず、
    ユーザーとグループ画面のユーザー一覧と照らし合わせながら確認する必要があります。
    また、ユーザーとグループ画面の管理対象外ユーザー一覧は反映までに最大24時間かかるため、
    レポート出力時の情報と差異が発生する可能性があり、業務効率が低下します。
    コラボレーションされていない管理対象外ユーザーをフィルタできる機能実装を希望します。

  17. Easily identify folders owned by an individual user via Content Manager

    I have a need to determine what folders are owned by a certain person and wanted to know the easiest way to get that information. When viewing under Content Manager I see all the folders the person has access to but cannot filter it for the one she owns. I also tried running the Folders and Files report but am getting an error.

    For example, I need to look up all folders owned by one user in order to change them after a name change.

  18. Content Manager should be content-based instead of user-based

    Request from healthcare customer: Instead of Content Manager being organized by user, then showing their folder structures and content within that user, Content Manager should be a direct reflection of the organization's folder structure in a tree view that allows the admin to have an understanding of what is in their tenant, root level folders, and then if you click on an individual folder, you can see the corresponding users and content within.

When User being capture and put under Suppression List can the system send Administrator notification message and preview and/or release; instead log case check to BOX Support??!

    We’ll send you updates on this idea

    We are excited to introduce Suppression List Management for Administrator, a solution designed to streamline the process of handling suppression lists with ease.

     

    Previously, customers had to reach out to Product Support to solve the problem with Notification delivery. With this new feature, Box Administrators can remove Users from the Suppression List without the need to contact the Box Support team. This feature will be available in the Admin Console under the Notification tab.

  20. Two User accounts on same Windows 10 computer

    There should be a possibility that two users on the same windows 10 computer, each user separately logging into his/her own windows account, could each log into his/her own box account and use box drive. BoxDrive is much more convenient that to go via the browser. This seems not possible now.
    Additionally it is annoying that the the box drive shows up for login when the second user enters the windows account, and if startup of box is switched off for that user, then it is also switched off for the main user (the admin user who has…
