To better secure your content in Box, you can view and manage file requests from within your organization. Doing so you gives you control on what to do with file requests, and see information about the requests.
Viewing File Requests
To see your file request from your admin console, navigate to Content from the left-hand menu, and then select File Requests.
From here, you can see:
