  1. Remove Logo on Expiring Embed Link

    Hello, we would like the ability to remove the BOX logo when creating an expiring embed link while using the get file information. Just like the embed widget we would like the ability to disable the box logo when embedding an expiring embed link to an iFrame.
    It would be a more seamless integration of BOX in the back ground as we are embedding these links into applications

  2. Ability to return all files and folders from a specific folder name

    Currently , using the Folder API call with 0 for folder_id at the Root Level will return all the files/folders that the user is permissioned for.

                 GET https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/:0
    

    Request to do the same, but for a specific folder’s scope:

                 GET https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/SPECIFICFOLDERNAME/:0

  3. I want to search for folders by tag prefixes.

    Could you provide an API endpoint that allows searching for folders by tag prefixes? This would streamline the process by eliminating the need to manually retrieve all folders and filter them based on tags.

  4. Request that multiple file requests not be created when creating a File Request using the API

    When creating file requests using the API, multiple file requests can be created independently for one folder.
    In order to avoid this phenomenon, I would like an API to be prepared to retrieve the created file request ID from the folder.
    Or please provide some other workaround.

  6. Allow Admin/Co-Admin to access shared link basic info

    When using BoxItem.Info itemInfo = BoxItem.getSharedItem(api, sharedLink); to retrieve basic information about a shared link, Box returns a 404 when the admin/co-admin doesn't have specific permissions. However, it's possible to see the basic information when you view a shared link report. We're essentially trying to get the same information as the shared link report is able to pull for all files/folders. Discussion of the suggestion is here:

  7. Content Explorer Default View Property

    Box Content Explorer - allow an attribute to set default view to Grid (Thumbnail) view.

    This view option is available on the Embed iframe, but strangely not an option for Content Explorer - means that all of my users need an extra click each time). I cannot trigger a click as Content Explorer is already in an iFrame

  9. (API) Add 'can_change_expiration' to the {file|folder}.permissions

    We are publishing a 3rd-party app for Box.
    A setting has been added to prevent users from changing the expiration date of shared links.
    When this setting is enabled, sending POST of JSON containing 'sharedlink.unsharedat' will return a 400 Bad Request error
    Please add a 'canchangeexpiration' value to the permissions attribute of the file/folder object so that the correct POST requests parameter can be specified.

  10. Allow to Update Description in the Upload Section in File Request via API

    We would like the ability to customize the description field in the Upload Section of the file request via API.
    Currently via API we are only able to update the Header and the Header Description and the
    description under the upload section is only editable via the webapp.

    We are looking to automate the file request via API from certain templates. Certain information will get updated depending on what template we desire which includes the need to update the description under the file upload but currently that is not available via API

  11. API- Developer token

    Hi team, what would be great is to get the possibility when we develop an API to have a token valid for more than 60 minutes.
    Sometimes, to validate the principle of a dev, it's needs more than 1h
    maybe an other solution would be to create a private app with small validation as the purpose is an internal specific need.

  14. Can Box provide us an API which allows us to clone a folder along with its sub folders?

    We have a predefined folder structure as a template, and we'd like to create new folders following this template's hierarchy. As Salesforce imposes limits on external system callouts, if the Box team could offer an API for this purpose, it would enable us to accomplish this task

  15. Box Embed - prevent users from navigating outside the assigned folder

    If a user is assigned to the following folders e.g. All Files > Cases > Case 1.

    Currently, Box Embed Breadcrumbs allow users to navigate all the way up to the All Files.

    We want the users to only be able to navigate only within Case 1 folder and not explore outside Case 1. This is useful to prevent users placing content outside Case 1 when embedded inside a case management application e.g. Appian, Salesforce, etc.

  16. Box Legal Hold Export API

    The current Box Legal Hold Exports function becomes difficult to manage at scale. The export process itself generates "batch" zip files that need to be manually downloaded via the user interface. Because the zip files are limited to 5,000 files or aprox 16 GB, I have one user to export who has over 500 "batch" zip files to download. The API does not support directly downloading these batch files. A way to bulk download or programmatically download these batch files is essential when exporting a very large (either in pure storage size or in number of files) user hold.

  18. Copy/Create File Request via Salesforce API

    I would like to be able to create a new file request URL via the Salesforce API. I can create a new folder associated to a new record, but I would like to be able to automatically create a File Request URL for the new folder that was created for the new record.

  20. Provide a Datastore to store Developer App Variables and Configuration

    Following the same pattern as Slack's Platform 2.0 Datastore support:
    https://api.slack.com/automation/datastores

    This would remove one barrier to entry for managing app-specific data for Developers.
