Using groups will allow adding more collaborators to a folder and is our recommended approach for these types of situations.

This is not currently planned. We would be happy to review with additional use case data. Can you share the problem you’re trying to solve?

Customization of error message in Azure
With other providers, it is possible to customize the error message that users get when they are invited to create a Box account without being part of a security group and having auto-rolling on.
As the error message creates a lot of confusion, it would be great if we could replace the message with something customized in order to give clear instructions to the users as to what steps need to be taken to create a new Box account with that particular email domain.
0 votesThank you for your submission. However, this does not have enough demand in order to be prioritized.
We will reconsider with additional use cases.

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.
0 votesThank 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.

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

We would like to see additional detail and use cases before considering this for implementation.

Error message to transfer ownership when only admins are allowed to create or delete level 1 folders
With the option to restrict folder creation at level 1 to admin, if the admin give the ownership to a user and then this user try to give the ownership to another user, she can perform the actions and finally get the message "There was a problem making xxx the owner of the item. Please try again or refresh the page."
The message should be revamped or the user should not be able to start giving ownership.

ITEM_RENAME event should include both old and new names for folder/file
Current the rename item event only shows the new name.

Add a way to find out whether a collaboration is external or internal for the GET collaboration endpoint.
When running a collaboration report as an admin you are able to find out Collaborator Type. The GET collaboration endpoint should be able to do the same.

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

Copy API to allow copying files from a managed users account to the admin account of the caller
There is no API action to copy or download files that is invisible from the user who owns the content. When copying files, there is no way to copy the files from a users account to the admin account (so that the copy of these files can then be reviewed and downloaded by compliance teams without creating access stats on the original file).
An alternative was to directly download the files from the users account however there is no way to not create access stats when doing so.
I am therefore suggesting the download endpoint have an added input for…

Support for managed user authentication by unique ID other than email address
Email address is not a reliable identifier in our world because it tends to change for the end user at certain times:
User decides to legally change their name (via marriage or other situation)
User is moved from one business unit to another (which prompts a change in their email domain suffix from person@busunit1.company.com to person@busunit2.company.com)
User goes on a leave of absence (in which case the email address is removed or temporarily disabled in their HR system)
When these changes happen (usually initiated from their HR system), it will percolate downstream to update their other applications. Their IdP…
