Automatically enable the Dev Console in a new Developer Sandbox
When creating a new Developer Sandbox at https://app.box.com/master/sandboxes, it would be helpful to see the "Dev Console" button at the bottom left of the Box dashboard when logging in as the Primary Admin of the sandbox. You can access the Dev Console by navigating directly to https://app.box.com/developers/console, or by clicking a button in the invitation email, but if that button is overlooked, it can be confusing to figure out how to navigate there.

Extend Developer Token for Apps that Integrate with Box.com, the Current Toke has a Limit 2 Months
Please add a new feature that allows us to change the expiration date of the Developer Token for apps that integrate with Box.com.
We are currently using Splunk to collect logs from Box.com, but the token expires every 60 days, which is a ridicules short amount of time, and there is no option to extent it to a 365 days or 6 months, if we like.
Please add this option, it is a pain to have to renew the token every 60 days. I have projects and other things that I need to work on, I should have to be…

Rollup secret for OAuth2 with client credentials.
Please provide a way to update client_secret without any custom app service impact.
With the current interface, issuing a new secret invalidates the previous one.
Periodic updating of secret is a security best practice, but this is not possible with client credentials.1 vote -
Allow more than 10 redirect URIs in app configuration
Our app sits on top of regionally distributed infrastructure, supporting multi-tenancy, and we need to be able to configure more than the maximum of 10 redirect URIs that is currently allowed. It would be nice if we could configure as many as needed.

Ability to extend API to query all collections
Hello dear Box Developers / Product Managers,
i'm Leon from CI HUB (ci-hub.com). A box Customer (Nina Stenzler) also uses the box CI HUB Integraiton and wondered why she can't view her box collections there. I was so sad that we cannot query them via your API (currently only favorites). Could you please extend your API here, so we can query all collections? That would be soooo nice for us and our customers :)
This is the corresponding Endpoint which needs to be extended: https://developer.box.com/reference/get-collections/

Increase the maximum message size in Update task API to more than 250 chars
Calls to the Box Task API with a message size greater than 255 chars throw an error a statusCode 500 error.
The relatively small maximum for message size limits the utility of the API and is not in line with the Box UI that allows a very large message to be input.
API Call details:
url: https://api.box.com/2.0/tasks/task_id
method: PUT
data: "{message: <greater than 255 characters>"}1 vote -
Bookmarks for UI Elements
We are building a custom platform off of Box UI Elements and one feature we'd like to see if the ability to bookmark files/folders from other folder locations. This would allow our users to be linked to the same file but not multiple versions of it stored in different locations.

Fetch Folder items present inside a particular folder before or after a specific date range
I have hit a dead end as I was trying to fetch files for a specific folder after a specific date.
Below is the API call which i had made with a developer token:
As it is seen, Folder Id, Folder Name is given with a specific date range but in response 0 items are returned but there are files present which lie in that date range which is: updatedatrange=2021-05-15T13:35:01-07:00,2023-01-20T13:35:01-07:00
how can i achieve my GOAL to Fetch particular Folder items (for type=file) after a specific date of a particular Folder.
I think there should be an…

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.

Support a parameter to remove all external collaborations for all folders and files under the given folder
Folder trees often needs to be cleansed of external users. It would be easier for admins to have a single call to traverse through a tree to remove external collaborations (external users, and possibly managed users, etc).
My suggestion is to add this as a parameter to the existing collaborations API call.

Need APIs for auto deletion of files and folders.
Need APIs for marking files and folders for auto deletion in future date. This feature is on the portal, but provided as an API.
Box can add this as an attribute to the file upload or folder creation API. Or a separate folder/file attribute API, so the date can be changed, if required later after its creation.
We are automating activities on Box.com using RPA, the APIs are faster and reusable compared to the UI automation.
Box should introduce APIs for basic features such as this one, so these can be done at the backend and it is more optimized…

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.

Change Login Without Confirmation
We should be able to use the API/CLI to change a user's login to a new unconfirmed email without requiring their confirmation. This would mirror the behavior available though the Box Admin Console web page.
With the usage of SSO it is critical that the SSO Provider user email address and the Box login address remain the same. It is currently possible to use the API/CLI to add a new alias, have the user confirm it, and set that as the Box login ID. I feel it would be best to avoid the confirmation step.
This way we could automate…

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.
