Source Type and Source Id Filters for Events Stream API
In order to filter events for specific files in a scalable way, you need to persist the data to a 3rd-party data store. If you're able to filter by specific files/folders by id, you can access the full history of a given file and create a view based on those results which is extremely common in many content platforms.

Allow external conversion engines for proprietary formats
We receive various proprietary formats that can only be converted by the original manufacturers. We want the platform to configure external conversion providers which would then be able to convert the formats to neutral Box formats such as PDF or MP4. This will create new integration opportunities for providers such as Autodesk, Adobe, CCTV providers.

Add email information to COLLABORATION_INVITE event
"COLLABORATIONINVITE" event should include "user email" information.
We understand "userid" is unique attribute within Box to specify the user and user.id
is included with "COLLABORATION_INVITE" attribute.
It would be better if this also captured user email information.1 vote -
Add folder upload support to UI Elements
Currently, Content Uploader UI Element only supports uploading files. We want the ability to expand that functionality to folders.
5 votesGreat suggestion! We’ll look into it.

Support deleting the current version
Currently there is no way to delete the current version or head of the version history. The only way to achieve the same effect is to promote a previous version and delete what was once the current version.

Watermarked PDFs currently output at large sizes when embedded
Embedding watermarked PDFs currently come out at larger sizes than when embedding regular PDFs from Box. Would be nice for the user to be able to configure it the size it outputs at.

Enablement Governance APIs for free developer accounts
Currently, governance APIs are not enabled in the free developer accounts. This removes the ability to perform local unit testing and developers must perform unit testing in another environment. Since accounts are developer sandboxes, there is less risk in testing with pseudo-permanent APIs such as Retention Policies.

Box Platform Performance in EMEA suffering
We'remer using Box to replace existing ECM system. Transaction, after code optimisation takes 11 seconds when using caches and 20+ when no caches are used. Due to the time taken to perform transaction that future use cases are under threat and the performance volumes required cannot be met with current performance metrics.

Enable remote uploads with Box API
Allow remote uploads with our upload API. OneDrive and Dropbox allow this method.
Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#save-url
OneDrive: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/OneDrive/developer/rest-api/api/driveitem_upload_urlWe would like to upload files from external services directly and do not want to download the file to the client. Being able to upload files directly from external services will avoid deduplication of files.

Improve experience of GETting all users for large enterprises
Large enterprises will often run nightly jobs to get a list of all users to sync w/ their own AD or for other purposes.
It would be nice to be able to get the entire population via a single API call (say, return a link to a csv file or a .zip of several csv files) or at least increase the limit. For customers with >50k users, it can be painful to make many API calls to get the whole list of users.
4 votesWe do not currently plan to provide all users via a single API request. For nightly synchronization of large user populations such such as the one described in this request, a more appropriate method would be to request relevant user and group events for that day from the enterprise events API and apply the changes there. When using this strategy, a full synchronization should only be required initially and in the case of some corruption or drift between the two systems.

Create Persistent Access Tokens
We want to embed a folder into our sales portal. We want our users/partners to be able to search within the folder.
We don't want to manage a separate code repo just for generating a downscoped token. Would be great if Box could support downscoped permanent tokens to cover these use cases.
We cannot search with in a folder with an embed widget.

Disclose Box service host names via API
Open up Box host names via API so that a customer's proxy server can automatically fetch our end points and digest it in to their solution.
There is a partial list available on our community page but it is not complete and difficult to fetch programatically.6 votesThank you once again for the feedback. We have evaluated the feedback but don’t think will have anything meaningful to share in the next couple of quarters.
Meanwhile, we will continue to keep our ear to the ground for additional feedback, and let you know if anything changes on our side.

Allow Recents to be filtered via API
Currently Recents is implemented globally across all Box content the user has access to. Ideally, Recents could be filtered to some ancestor folder IDs (like Search is) to show Recent items only within a particular folder.
The use case is a custom application which is integrated with a company's primary Box instance. A custom app wanting to leverage the Recents feature does not have a way to get Recent items relevant to just the application content.
