When creating a new user, we would like the ability for the admin to create a dedicated folder for said user within the new Admin Console UI.
Currently this feature exists within the original UI.

We like the ability to set the number of file versions per user, folder or file

Admin Console - User File Search - Results Download
Admin Console - Content - User File Search - Results Download enhancement
Allow administrators the ability to download the full user file search from Admin Console -> Content section. The results output would contain all fields present on the current search results page. The output would be in CSV format.
This feature would be useful for eDiscovery purposes.

Enhance user experience for searching files with tag
As legal department, we manage contract documents using tag but when we search files filtering with them, user experience is not intuitive when I follow steps described below.
- search a keyword filtering with tag
- change the keyword on search box
- filter for tag set in 1 is reset and disappeared
Also, we would like to search file filtering with tag without any keywords in the search box as populating keyword is currently a must to start to search unlike Metadata, which is also inconvenient.
33 votesSearching for tags without a keyword is now possible in the Box web app.
Tag filter is not reset when changing the keyword.

Report on installed Box Drive versions by user
Need a report admins can run that will show all users who have ever used Drive and what the last version of Drive they last used was. Ideally there is a Device ID or Device Name as well.
Use Case - Often admins do not have a device management system which would be used to run this report. Without that system in place OR without all devices being managed under it, admins have no visibility into what software is installed on their unmanaged users machines. Box won't be able to tell them all users who have it…

Ability to copy existing report to create new one
When creating a new scheduled report, that is similar to an existing scheduled report, it would be time-saving and efficient for the existing scheduled report that has the filters and schedule closed to those needed for the new report, to be able to COPY and SAVE AS the existing report's filters and schedule, to then edit to suit the new report's needs.
This would be far superior and timesaving than creating the new report from scratch, having first to screenshot the existing report's filters and schedules to ensure that the new one is created similarly.
For example, a scheduled report…

Send a "here's how your items are shared" report to each user periodically
One of the most common sources of security breaches is due to a user inadvertently sharing an item more broadly or for longer than they intended.
A simple way to help limit those sorts of security breaches would be for Box to email every user a report periodically (configurable by the admin, but roughly monthly) that said "Here's how everything you own is shared with other people, and here's a link to the KB article that'll tell you how to fix it if it's not what you want", then showed a report of their folders, files, and shared links, with…

Capture Device information in the User Activity Report
We had a situation that ex-employee use Box Sync app using his personal laptop but Admin has no way to figure out whether he accessed them from corporate laptop or his personal laptop. The User Activity Report only shows ip address. It would be good to capture device name or OS version so Admin can double check what device this user is using when accessing synced files.

Metadata visibility in user activity report

MFA Excluded User List Needed
MFA Excluded User List Needed - if a user has to switch MFA devices, as of now the Admin would need to globally turn MFA off for everyone, also an admin might need to setup a box account and login as a user (say using lastpass) before the hire date, thus they need to be on an exclusion list until they start, additionally automated processes might need a login that would be excluded from MFA needs direclty within box, thus the requirement for an exclusion list for MFA that is freely adjustable.
5 votes- We will soon have the ability to download back up codes that can be used in case you don't have access to your MFA device.
- Certain Box plans have the ability to exempt specific users from MFA.
- We do have this exclusion list for external users.
Given these, we don't have plans to add an exclusion list for managed user MFA at this point.

Whitelisting Access Using Managed User Groups
Companies frequently hire contractors and provide them with company email addresses to access internal networks and applications. This creates an issue with contractors having visibility into an entire folders and not just the projects/folders that apply to them. Shield's whitelisting capabilities allow us to limit external email domains, but because contractors are given a company email domain the whitelisting capabilities do not apply.
We would like to be able to create a "Consultants" Managed User Group and whitelist access to break waterfall permission for internal Managed User Groups.

Custom User Role
Currently under user role and access permission, we can only give a user "Member" or "Co-Admin" role.
We would like the additional more granular role or provide us the ability to create custom role with checkboxes.
Our goal is to have a new Role to allow a user to be able to maintain the Shields List for Email Address (Allow List for Email Addresses).3 votes -
