For our Windows file shares, we use an inexpensive tool (TreeSize Pro) that lets us export all or part of a directory tree to Excel, which then lets us expand or collapse the tree to better see how people are organizing and categorizing their content. It also produces tons of stats on numbers of files, file types, sizes, age, etc. for each level of the directory. I wish there were similar functionality with Box so that we can see how the platform is being used, and to help improve the structure, improve naming conventions, and improve search. I agree that the file-by-file report is pretty useless. I hadn't thought of using this for a user index (if security trimmed), but that's a great use case, too.
