Specify proxy information in BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection
In the Box Java SDK, the BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection methods do not support specifying proxy information like the BoxAPIConnection methods do.
This makes them impossible to use in a corporate environment where proxy information must be set.
It would be nice if the SDK could be updated to support that so we do not have to fork the SDK and add in the logic ourselves.

Allow documents (Word, PowerPoint, txt) to be downloaded as PDF

Add API for CORS Domains
With the introduction of the UI Elements, managing CORS domains has been really important for developers who create third party apps that are then used across many domains owned by their customers. This gets unwieldy to manage manually.

Add offline functionality to iOS SDK
Offline functionality is already available through the Box for iOS app but it's built on the app level.
Developers are interested in using the same logic used by Box instead of writing their own.
