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 -

Good feedback, although, due to other priorities we will likely not be getting to this anytime soon.

Thumbnails should be able to be requested in a batch.
You should be able to download all thumbnails for the items within a folder.
1 voteGreat suggestion – we don’t have any plans to do this anytime soon, however.

Request to Add Overwrite/Version Functionality to File Copy Operations via API
Currently the only way to add a version to a file is to download it and upload the new version with the If-Match header.
We are archiving files when a new file version is uploaded to a "main" folder, and to do that we have to download the existing version to our server and then generate a separate request to upload the file.
Ideally, we would be able to combine the requests into one - a COPY (https://box-content.readme.io/reference#copy-a-file) that can overwrite an existing file in the destination folder if the appropriate etag is supplied during the copy request.
5 votesThis is not something we will build due to other roadmap commitments.
Alternatively, you could always upload latest version to “backup folder,” delete file from “current version” folder, then copy “backup folder” version to “current version” folder.
This will get you 100% version history in backup folder and avoid the need to download & upload the file a second time.
