  2. Receive notification when transfer of content is completed

    When deleting and transferring content to another user and an error is thrown, it is not clear to the user when all the content has successfully been moved due to the error message thrown.

    We would like to know when all the content has finally completed so we can delete the user without any concerns.

  4. Differentiate between Create Files and Create Folders in Collaborator level permissions

    For certain cases, we want to be able to allow internal and/or external collaborators to be able to upload/create a file but NOT be able to create a new subfolder.

    This is not planned for the short-term roadmap. We will reconsider with additional customer demand.

  6. The ability to perform advanced searches despite having KeySafe enabled.

    They are open to, similar to the KeySafe concept, having a way to plug Box search into their own index.

  7. Editor Only Permissions Access

    We are looking for a way to limit a user so she can not add new documents to a folder but is able to edit documents already in the folder.

    The granular nature of your platform is so fantastic, and this nuance would make it even better. After all, just because I share a folder populated with documents that I want edited by other people doesn't not mean I want those same editors to bloat my folders with extraneous files.

    There is strong use-case for this. Call it the Edit Only privilege.

    Thank you for the request! I believe this would add to the complexity of the product without providing wide enough benefit. I’m happy to review further use cases and demand in the comments.

    Would you provide additional detail? The request looks like a mix of a few different concepts. Seems unlikely we will have an API that returns everything as asked.

    Can you potentially break these down? Seems the get subfolders request could be considered.

  11. Add "additional_details" to events endpoint for MOVE, COPY, RENAME events

    Presently, security & events reports run from the admin console include "change details" for these events - essentially, what the prior state was before the event occurred. The events endpoint does not include these details.

    Request to add this to the additional_details of an event as it's reported through the admin events stream for the MOVE, COPY, and RENAME events.

    If RENAME, show previous name of the folder
    If MOVE/COPY, show previous parent of the folder

  13. Box-Notification header - Suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary

    Extend the Box-Notifications header to suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary via API. This header only appears to work when adding or deleting users email aliases, and the documentation on docs.box.com is not specific as to when this is supported.

    This functionality is required to silently mass update users email addresses.

  14. Ability to restrict Uploader permissions from being able to see file names in folders

    We have folders where different companies can submit content via the Uploader collaborator permission. Because there are different companies submitting into the same folder, we do not want collaborators to see what others have uploaded.

    This is not a virtual deal room/bid room in this specific case.

    We will not make a special collaborator role for this. Our recommended way of doing this would be to use the Upload Widget.

  15. If a user invites a collaborator, that they receive an error message if that email does not exist.

    Right now, if a user invites someone using an email that does not exist, it just remains in pending.

  17. Request for an Content Folder API call to support passing to it a folder path and return the unique folder ID

    We would like to be able to retrieve folder ID directly via API call by passing in the folder path as a variable.

    So for example if the custom program knows the folder virtual path (/folder A/folder 123/folder X) the API call would return the correct folder ID for "folder X".

    Folder path is pretty fragile as names change frequently, so I don’t think this is something we’d want to do.

  18. Add "type" filters from Web App to search API endpoint

    Currently Box supports passing in document extensions, or searching by item type (file, folder). Please add the same filter options that is exposed in the web app search to developers. Specifically, the "type" dropdown that includes items like:
    [document, audio, box note, drawing, etc.]

    The workaround is for the developer to create their own set of these filters - but this can be challenging based on the number of filetypes and desire to keep experience the same with search in their app as compared to the web app.
