Provide a way to delete or rename (API name) a metadata key
Once a mistake is made when creating a metadata template or key there is no way to delete the content. This poses a serious issue for developers especially if their code manages multiple EIDs. If a mistake is made, application code must be altered which is more difficult than being able to delete a key.
Having the ability to create templates via the API is not a real solution as one could always make a mistake in their template creation code.

Specify proxy information in BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection
In the Box Java SDK, the BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection methods do not support specifying proxy information like the BoxAPIConnection methods do.
This makes them impossible to use in a corporate environment where proxy information must be set.
It would be nice if the SDK could be updated to support that so we do not have to fork the SDK and add in the logic ourselves.

File Picker: Custom file picker location default
When using the file picker from within our application, the User has already selected a Customer to process and I have a folder ID for that Customer. I would like them to be directed directly to this folder when they log into Box through our application.
0 votesThanks for the suggestion. The content picker does support launching on a specific folder id (for this to work the token being used should have access to the folder).
You can find how to do this in the documentation here: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/picker/
and look for the method called `filePicker.show(…)` method.

Unmanageable API Key Whitelists
Enterprises with a lot of active software development groups have unmanageable API Key whitelists. This manifests in a lot of ways.
There is no way to limit API Keys to development (limit liability). Typical dev-qa-prod cycle requires 3 API keys. No way to associate API Keys to specific projects. There is no way to tell if old API Keys are still in use.
13 votesDelivered - we have removed the allowlist for user auth apps and moved those apps to the new user auth tab. Details here: https://medium.com/box-developer-blog/custom-apps-manager-updates-c79ccf8ebe97
Sandbox enhancements are being tracked separately.

Difficult Managing App Users in Admin Console
We've already purchased EKM and would like these app users to be managed within their main enterprise account so that they can own the encryption keys.
If Box were to create the App users under their main enterprise account, this would adversely affect the ongoing administration of the core Box experience.
For example, app users would appear in the same tab as managed users. The admin event feed would also be capturing all the interactions of the 10,000 additional app users.
We have strong concerns that the addition of the 10,000 app users will make it difficult for us to…
0 votesApp users and managed users are now separated in the Admin Console. App users are hidden by default but may be viewed by switching filters within the Admin Console. See this post for more details: https://community.box.com/t5/Box-Product-Updates/App-Users-Filter-in-Users-amp-Groups-Tab/idi-p/67874
The separate request to provide a filter in the Admin event stream has been logged as a separate idea here: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778/suggestions/37027681

Allow documents (Word, PowerPoint, txt) to be downloaded as PDF
Documents can only be downloaded via the Box Content API in their original format. It's sometimes desired to download a file directly in PDF, which reduces the size of the file.
0 votesYou may now download different file representations of a file through the Box API. Please refer to our developer documentation on Representations.
