Sharing a Collection
I understand that collections are meant to be a user specific setting, however, it would be great to have the ability to share a collection with a co-worker.
105 votesThanks for the feedback. Collections are going to remain as personalized views in the near future. We may revisit this down the road.

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.

Check the number of API calls from the developer console of the user who executed the App
Platform report could be used to confirm API calls. But it requires authorities to export.
Display the number of API calls in use for each app in the developer console to check if the number of API calls exceeds the limit.

Admin Insight User Activity of Hubs
We strongly request the addition of admin insights regarding user activity in the hubs. While we can see the number of people viewing each hub in the gallery, we lack detailed information about their engagement.
Content insights(the contents in each hub) provide us with information about activities, but they are insufficient because not everyone who opens a hub previews each file.1 vote -
Split and transfer data to several users when the owner is deleted (including folder assignment)
Hi,
it would be nice if I could split the data of a user to be deleted among more than 1 other user.If, for example, a department head leaves the company and another head takes over the disciplinary part on an interim basis, but the technical issues are still mapped in the department, it makes sense to be able to separate the structures. We are currently transferring the disciplinary page manually.
Best regards,

tracking file activity by user
Is there a way to schedule the user activity report (so we didn't have to wait for it to run)? It took our IT team 30+ minutes to run this for a report from just two weeks.
Alternatively, are you able to improve your Microsoft Flow connector, so that we could be notified in Microsoft Teams whenever a file is previewed or downloaded; right now the connector that Box wrote for Microsoft Flow only supports the following triggers:
- When a file is created
- When a file is modified1 vote -
Custom Columns (with sort) in Files List (Kind, Metadata, Access Stats, etc.)
The webapp defaults to showing the user 3 columns - Name, Modified, and Size.
This request is to allow the user to customize which columns are shown -- i.e., show me the Name, Size, and Metadata field X columns, but nothing else. Or show me the Name, Modified, and Access Stats (Previews) columns.
Example columns to choose from:
-Name
-Size
-Kind (File Type)
-Access Stats (Preview, Download, etc.)
-Metadata (specific template/field)
-Created Date
-Updated/Modified Date
-Description

View User Activity workflow
When an admin triggers a policy they set up and receives an email alert, they click on "View Users Activity."
This link navigates them to the reports landing page. Instead they would like to be routed to the user activity page that shows why the policy was triggered (i.e. shown information on User, Dates and # of downloads.)

Target users for EMM mobile clients
Currently if an organisation wishes to enable the Enterprise Mobility Management version of the mobile clients they have to enable it at a global level.
We would like to be granular with this. We're a University and I want to enforce all staff users to use the EMM client but not students (their uni data is not considered "sensitive").
Please can Box allow granular assigned of EMM users?
In our use case we have just under 3,600 user who require EMM but 17,000 users do not.

API) Add 'enterprise.id' to the collaboration user object.
When retrieving the list of collaborators, we want to know whether each collaborator is an internal or external user, like in Box Web.
The collaborators object does not include information to determine whether a collaborator is internal or external user. As a result, we have to call the Users endpoint, which increases processing time.
API Call:
GET https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations/:collaboration_idWe would appreciate it if the EID could be included in the collaboration response to improve efficiency.

need the collaboration list based on user level .
This is similar to UI settings , in the user settings when you click collaborations , you will get the collaboration list of all the folders.
Similar api is required.

Allow per user exemptions for password expiration
This would allow admins to remove automatic password expiration on service accounts or account used solely for third party integration services.

When an external user changes his/her email address from the original invitation, the invitation can be removed or put on hold
We happened to be looking at the Collaboration List screen when we noticed that an external user had changed his primary email address.
In addition, the User Activity Report does not log information about external users' primary email address changes.If this is not done, the user in question may not be considered for de-collaboration during the inventory of collaborator privileges that we conduct.
The fact that users who are supposed to be deactivated remain collaborating is a security risk that cannot be overlooked.Please add the ability to immediately cancel or put the collaboration on hold if,…

Indicators / Progress Bar for Large Folder Operations (Moves, Ownership Transfers, Delete, Copy)
When doing a move of a large folder or changing the owner of a large folder, users often receive a 'this may take some time' banner notification in the webapp, but that quickly disappears and the user is left wondering... "so...has it finished fully yet?"
REQUEST: Have more indicators (progress bar, e-mail updates, etc.) of progress in the operation, especially for folder moves/ownership transfers.
Example: In our mobile apps, we provide a 'job manager' that shows the user progress when they're performing various actions.

If a managed user triggers IP CAPTCHA, send an email notification to the enterprise's admin.
If a user triggers CAPTCHA on an IP address, it could potentially impact many users if our account is NATing our IPs to one external IP.
Typically this is caused by an end user saving a bad set of credentials into some kind of client (FTP or WebDAV) that is constantly trying to reconnect.
2 votesThis request makes sense, but this is not something that is planned for the foreseeable future.
I will keep monitoring similar cases and prioritize once this becomes a high value request.

Count previewing large Video files as "preview" in User Statistics Report
Count previewing large Video files as "preview" in User Statistics Report.
Sometimes previewing large Video files is not counted as "preview" in User Statistics Report.
It should be counted.

Ability to disable user from logging into Box.com for Salesforce Integrated
For Salesforce Integration, provide a per user permission to disable user from logging directly into Box.com. Business Case is to keep users in Salesforce and use Box there only.
