Read Enterprise Settings using API
Is there a way to read Enterprise Settings using API? That would be much beneficial where the Admin can choose certain settings like Storage and there wont be a necessity to change the Code every time the Admin wants to change the settings. The API can read the existing settings and manage users based on those configurations. Currently, the application that manages Box accounts has to store those locally and every time there is a change in those settings, that calls for a Change management and code deployment.

Ability to ban App Token Applications
Currently, we can require users to get approval from admin to authorize apps, but that leads to a number of emails generated to the admin. We want the ability to ban users from creating App Token Applications.

Box CLI - need more output options for folders:items.
Specific to "box folders:items" but probably other commands as well:
1) If I'm asking for --csv, AND specifying the fields via --fields=, I don't need a header telling me the fields I just requested. I'd like an option to disable the header, or default disable it and make me add it back.
2) If I'm asking for specific fields as --csv, give me just those fields. If I'm asking for --fields=id I don't want it served back to me as "folder,#", I don't want to know it's a folder. If I later do something against that ID that is not…
3 votesHello,
We are not planning on changing --csv or --json behaviour in CLI.
Fields ID and Type are returned by API by default and removing them from the CLI would mean to modify the existing CLI behaviour.

Add "synchronize" or "versions" to the BoxCLI "folders:upload" functions
I am looking for a way to "synchronize" a folder and all of it's contents with the BoxCLI.
So, lets say i run this command:"box folders:upload /root/test_folder --parent-folder=%ID%"
How can i upload the folder, and only "Update" what has changed?
It would be nice to have something for "Folders" like you have for "Files"
"box files:versions:upload FILEID PATH"
maybe - "box folders:versions:upload FOLDERID PATH"
which would update all of the contents of the folder, version stuff that exist, add items that don't.
I know i can "box:folders:delete"... then "box:folders:upload" again.. but seems a waist of bandwidth and time..

Add "Box DICOM Import" functions to the BoxCLI
One thing that would be handy is to be able to upload a folder (of dicom files) and process the contents with the "Box DICOM Import" functionality using the BoxCLI.
Maybe something like: (add a flag to current box:folders:upload command)
"box folders:upload /root/test_folder --parent-folder=%ID% --dicom-import"
That would be Nice!

Add support for bulkified retrieval of box folder ids
toolkit.getFolderIdByRecordId needs to be bulkified. Otherwise the method is very vulnerable to Salesforce governor limits.

Open Box Notes API for logging
The idea here is to use a box note as a log which could be updated both by humans and an automated api.
My use case for the api would basically be "append a line" to the box note.

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.

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.

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.

Using folders:items is not recursive
Running the command
box folders:items [IDOFFOLDER] --csv --save-to-file-path=[PATHTOFOLDERTOSAVE_REPORT]To get a list of files and their respective SHA1 values is difficult as this command has to be run on each folder within the tree. There should be a recursive option, or better yet, a report a user can run to provide the SHA1 values within a tree. This is very important for eDiscovery and chain of custody.

API Call to return all items within the parent directory.
It would be extremely helpful if you could call the box api to return a complete list of the existing directory in an account. For example, the call could return a json file that contained a usable layout of folders within folders, down to the individual file level. Automation for file operations could be built on this. It would remove the need to recursively call the API to get down to the lowest level of folders to find files.

Real time progress of a file upload via box upload api
When a direct box upload api is invoked, there is no way to know the real time progress of upload. It would be good to get real time progress from box to notify users about the same on our UI.

API searches for a given folder name and creates a folder if not found
In today's world , there is an api that searches for folder and if folder not found returns 404. There is a create folder api which returns 409 error if folder name exists.
This leads tomaking multiple calls to box first to identify or know folder existence and then another call for creating a folder if not found.There is a need for api which does following
Search for a folder given the folder name(input =folder name)
if folder exists with such a name
return folderId
if folder does not exists with such a folder name

Cancel a direct upload in progress through API
When a direct upload begins via an API, there is no option to stop/cancel the upload while it is in progress. A file can only be deleted after a successful upload.
Provide an option to stop/revert upload via an API. If a user realizes that he/she has uploaded the wrong file and wishes to cancel the upload while in progress is not possible.
Canceling an upload while in progress is possible through box webpage but not through via.

Alphabetize collaborator names
Hello, when I view collaborators to a file/folder, the "name" column cannot be alphabetized. I tried clicking on it to make this occur and it is greyed out. When comparing this to a list of names alphabetically it would be so efficiently helpful to have the Box folder listed by name and not by date. Can you please make this available?
