iOS Preview SDK should provide listeners for events like the Content Preview UI kit.
The events for the JS Content Preview UI kit can be found here, https://developer.box.com/docs/file-types-events. It would be beneficial to have similar events to have emitters within the iOS preview SDK.

Make the digest header in the Commit Upload endpoint optional
Currently, Commit Upload endpoint requires passing a Digest header for the sha1 of the entire file.
Given that the integrity of each file part is already verified, consider making the Digest header in the Commit Upload endpoint optional

Support alternate URL's for end-users who block Box
Some external clients are blocking *box.com and as a result can't use the app built on Box platform.

List and Grid support in the Content Explorer JavaScript Libraries
The java script libraries for content explorer do not appear to have an option to include toggle list/grid views which is available in the Box Drive experience.
4 votesGreat feedback – something we’ve discussed in the past and definitely want to do. Just not prioritized / planned on the roadmap currently.

Option to select a folder_id other than 0 (the user's root folder) within the Move Owned Items API.
As a large company, we aim to fully automate the deprovisioning of users using Box Platform.
We would like an option within the Move Owned Items API (https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#move-folder-into-another-users-folder) to select a destination location other than 0 (all files).
The goal would be to automate this process and allow folders and files to be moved within an existing folder rather than at the root level.

We do not plan to suppress these updates. However, we will reconsider if we get additional feedback from other users.

Adapt Annotations to achieve Accessibility guidelines
Box View does not conformance with W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.0 (WCAG 2.0) at conformance levels A and AA - specifically, annotations can only be viewed around mouseover. This is a blocker for us as we work with public universities who have to meet those guidelines.
1 voteThank you for the feedback. It’s on our backlog and we’ll do our best to get to it as soon as we can.

This is not planned.
We don’t see enough customer demand for this yet, and supporting every additional content type takes a significant amount of engineering time and effort.

Allow watermarking to reveal External ID, as opposed to randomly generated App User Email
This would connect the viewer to a legal obligation through the document experience.
0 votesThank you for the feedback! We’ll add this to our backlog, and get back when we have further updates.

Add Managed Domains list to API Endpoint
We would like to be able to make an API call to retrieve the list of managed domains for or Enterprise. We can only do this from the Admin Console today.

Enable API apps for select users
Right now, we can disable published APIs for all users, or enable them - we'd like the ability to restrictively enable.
3 votesWe currently do not plan to selectively enable or disable access to the Box API for specific users within an enterprise.

Expose Box Server Time for setting JWT exp claim within expected values
Currently, there are a few different places that developers can use to sync the time of their requests which can lead to some confusion/issues with properly setting the exp claim when generating a JWT assertion.
For example, pool.ntp.org offers up a time that's ~25 seconds ahead of epochconverter.com (where support currently suggests that folks sync their time from).
Exposing the "current timestamp" somehow, or syncing up with a framework that allows users to be in sync with Box time will allow for fewer questions/issues with the JWT claims process.

Add a Webhooks v2 event trigger for restoring a file version
If a file version is restored (via the webapp or API), there is no associated event trigger that captures this action. If an admin is monitoring a file for changes, no webhook is triggered for this action.
7 votesThis is not currently planned. We will consider it with additional use cases and customer demand.

We don’t offer an API endpoint for these types of queries today, so it’s not possible to add.
When you create a user that already exists, you get a 409 error code returned – user already exists. Is this sufficient?

Folder Level App Integration in Developer Console
Is there any plan to allow developers to give folder access to Web App integrations without having to request a special permission from Box?
In the current process, Developers can enable the context menu for folders to present integration features, but to do so they must contact Box first. "Send a request to Box for pre-approval to build a folder-level integration."
We would like the ability to add folder level integrations via the Developer Console without having to contact Box Support.
0 votesThanks for the feedback. We don’t have anything meaningful to share at the moment, but will let you know if and when that changes.

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.
0 votesOur customers tend to have different requirements for an offline feature. We’ll monitor demand and re-evaluate.

Pass Basic Auth (Authorization Header) to Client Callback URL & Preliminary Callback URL when Both are Present
Using an API-based web app integration, from the "More" menu in the web app, if developer requires basic auth to complete the request, authorization header is only passed to the Preliminary Callback URL and never the Client Callback URL - even if Client Callback is the only URL present.
Expected Behavior:
Allowing the developer to choose whether basic auth is required would imply that we would always pass the Authorization header with our requests so they can validate.0 votes
