Export a list of my file names as a collaborator only

I am hoping by now that Box has facilitated a method for collaborators to export a list of their file names. If so, can anyone pleases advise me how to do it?

I have searched (and searched...) and have not yet come across an answer. No-one, it seems, has asked this question for non-admins for 2-4 years and there were no solutions at that time for those without admin permissions.

I have a few hundred folders (purchased and joined on Box so the Box fees are paid by my seller company). I cannot "reach out" to that company for a report (which is the advice given by Box Support to one user) because the company has thousands of customers/collaborators.

I have tried selecting (by ticking the boxes) all the files and copying - however, the Copy option is greyed out and nothing appears on the Clipboard despite the message stating xxx number of files have been copied. I need the files in a spreadsheet not just a screenshot.

Surely it’s not an impossible task to export a list of file names - I've paid for them and my seller is paying Box?

Many, many thanks in advance anyone who can help.

Hi there,

Welcome to Box Community!

To set your expectations. Box offers a Reporting feature wherein Box admins can run reports to get the list of collaboration, folders and files, user activity, etc. However, this feature is available to Business plans and above. I suggest contacting the Box Admin of the organization that manages the shared folder and ask them to conduct the report on your behalf.

Thank you for posting!
