data quota inconsistency
Provide admins to be able to correct the issue that appears to happen quite a bit with our users data consistency. e.g users box quota is showing incorrect data than box has for them. user sees 25GB used but Box thinks it is 50GB.

Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream
Print transactions should also be captured as an audit in the user event stream. Preview is a partial audit. We know that the user viewed the content, but not that it was allowed to be printed from the system. This is an inconsistent audit experience as downloads maintain their own audit event.

Being able to sort by created date instead of modified\updated.
Would be super helpful for people storing photos. If we snap a photo on our phone and then upload it to box in bulk, the date the picture was brought into box is the date shown. It would be nice to sort by file created date. You already have this date in the "file information" section when you right click on a file. Please make this available and let me know. Please please please.
thanks
Natalie.

Please update the product for support of the SSA format.

I work for two company's. I want to be able to sync both company's files on my imac. Please make that a possibility. Currently, I can only sync one company per computer. We had spotty internet connection at one time, and I was unable to go online for access to the files for the company I don't have synced.

Allow Box to work with iOS Files app without having to disable sitewide security passcodes
When using the Files App on iOS, you cannot connect to Box (as a location) if your enterprise settings require a passcode to use the Box app. Surely there must be some way to achieve this functionality without having to turn off passcode security for the whole firm.

I want to divide the public folder setting of the shared folder
I want to open folders to an unspecified number of people in the company.
When I contacted the administrator, he said that he could not do it because there are only the following two setting values.
1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
2."Invited users only"Only the people in the company need to see it, so I would like to divide them into the following three settings.
1."Anyone with the link", "Company users", "Invited users only"
2."Company users", "Invited users only"
3."Invited users only"If you can divide it into three, you can get permission because you can use the setting of 2.
Please consider it because a lot of people will be saved.

At this point we have no plans to create powershell specific SDK. However, the Box Command Line utility can be called from within powershell which may be of help. https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/sdks/cli/
Furthermore there is some good (if a bit dated) information on how to use the Windows SDK from within Powershell here: https://community.box.com/t5/Platform-and-Development-Forum/Automating-box-processes-using-powershell-and-the-box-windows/m-p/50342

Identify ALL 'Tags' used across enterprise instance
Currently, you can search by Tags but only if you know the specific Tag label/name.
Problem is, you may not necessarily know all the Tags users within your organization are using.
Additionally, there is no standard report to which can export a list of all Folders and Files that have Tags.•Foremost, it would be nice to have a way of identifying all tags used across your organization.
•If possible, if can offer a standard report similar to Files and Folders report that indicates Tags associated to them other than using the Search or API.6 votes -

Global ability to lock all files that are opened
We want all files "locked" when opened so that any other user would be notified that the file is opened by another user and they can look in "read-only" view.

Add "new note" to long-press/3D Touch option in iOS Box app.
Creating notes in the iOS app really is clunky. As it seems sa standalone Box Notes app for mobile isn't planned, having an option to "create note" in the long press/3D touch menu would be great. At the moment i don't use Box Notes at all, my quick captures & notes go in Drafts or Evernote.

Ability to filter events by "Affected" on user activity report
We would like to have the ability to filter events by "Affected" column (currently, user and affected folder/file are only available filter options).
For e.g., for "Add login app" event, device information is logged in "Affected" column, and so having this filter option will help us identify new login from unintended devices and improve monitoring.2 votes -
