  1. 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.

  2. Get list of service accounts via API

    Right now the only way to get a list of automation users (service accounts) is via the web UI. The application does not have UI access, and since the users can be provisioned and deleted frequently, we do not want to rely on the manual work.

  3. Pull list of all collaborators with a certain user_type at a folder level

    Currently, you can only search by user_type at the enterprise level as documented here: https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#get-all-users-in-an-enterprise

    It would be helpful to be able to do this at a folder level as well.

  4. Surface either EID or user_type when requesting collaboration object

    Currently, requesting a collaborationobject does not surface either EID or usertype. (as seen in https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#get-collabs)

    This request is not currently on our roadmap but we’ll update this request if that changes. In the mean time, you can use a subsequent request to get the user information and specify the enterprise in the `fields` query string parameter.

  6. Add email information to COLLABORATION_INVITE event

    "COLLABORATIONINVITE" event should include "user email" information.
    We understand "user
    id" 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Additional Scopes

    We have white labelled Box into a ServiceNow product.

    The service account at the moment creates the structure for every case that is populated.

    From a security perspective, we would like the service account to create content and maintain folder structures but not be able to delete or read content. The best we have at the moment is the Uploader Role which would then allow the creation of sub folders but it means that e have to:

    1. Create the base folder
    2. Assign a new owner to the folder
    3. Change the Service Account to an Uploader
    4. Create sub folders.

    At this…

  16. Expose representation via API to allow for companies to upload representations after conversions

    We receive video footage from various sources in proprietary formats. We use an external agency to convert the formats to a neutral MP4 video format. Rather than loading this back into Box as a new file, we want to load it against the original source file as a mp4 representation which can then be viewed in the Web App as mp4 video.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. 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.
