Python example for "create upload session" is wrong
The Python sample for "Create upload session" seems wrong:
What you provided is:
filesize = 26000000
uploadsession = client.file('11111').createuploadsession(file_size)But it should be:
client.folder('11111').createuploadsession(filesize, filesize).Please check and confirm.

Folder Integration App can't use API to upload file to a folder if user has Uploader permission
- I set the various Uploader permissions (Uploader, Viewer Uploader, Previewer Uploader) on a folder, but was not able to use our Folder Integration Quick Scan app to upload a scanned file to those folders.
- I had to use Owner/Editor permissions to upload a scanned file through our application and the Box API.
Why is Box not letting our application upload a file when the Uploader permission is set on a folder?
Thanks.

Updated needed for Firefox and Internet Explorer for "Share Folder" task.
When attempting to "Share Folder" in Box, when signed in through Firefox OR Internet Explorer, an error occurs. The only work-around we have found is by using Google Chrome. This feature worked just fine in Firefox only a week ago. Please repair.

Direct DICOM upload endpoint desired
Our admin would rather not use the DICOM import tool to upload DICOM images to use with the Viewer (and they don't have a PAC server). We're also uploading non-DICOM files that are relevant to the study, so having two separate UIs for an upload is inconvenient.
1 voteThank you for this request. However, we will not be focusing on this feature this year. We will revisit this with additional demand.

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.

Introduce a combination of version labels and version dependent permissions.
Compared to legacy ECM systems, versioning in box is limited to data states over time. There is no notion of a document lifecycle attached to a certain version (WIP, draft, published).
The mandatory check in/out of legacy ECM makes the system very user unfriendly. However, it would be nice if we could somehow label certain versions. The list of labels could either be fixed, or user definable.
If we combine this feature with a new permission: "view documents with status published", we could now have one directory where people work on their documents, but external people would only see the…

Just in time User Provisioning / Licensing
The current way of licensing is old school. Instead, you could leverage Okta's just-in-time provisioning: https://help.okta.com/en/prev/Content/Topics/Security/Security_Authentication.htm?cshid=Security_Authentication_JIT#Security_Authentication_JIT
Then (with SSO required & on the fly), Box grants everyone in an org an acct after logging in thru SSO, they're auto-provisioned a Box instance, and a license is registered/"billed" to company.

Provide event trigger for renaming a file for webhooks.
Create a script to automatically rename files that have had their name changed. This would be easier if there was an event trigger so that we could proactively run the script using a web hook.
We can run a script once a day or something to do this based on a lookup table with folder IDs and the names we are SUPPOSED to have.

Automatically change file modified date upon upload if modified date is out of range and upload fails
We are trying to upload files that have a modified date of year 1600. We would like for Box to automatically change the modified date upon upload instead of the upload failing
If files have a modified date outside the UNIX range (1970-2038), the upload will fail.
1 voteThank you for the submission. There are no current plans to change this behavior for this individual use case. We will reconsider with additional demand.

Query-less search
Add intelligent search by location, date, etc. but the Search API requires a query. I recommended setting the query to the file extension.

Extend box' capabilities with client protocols.
In banking a lot of external content is accessed: reports from Bloomberg, other financial information, etc. Most of these pieces of information reside on FTP / SFTP / FTPS / Webdav systems.
It would be nice if box could be extended in such a way that users have the possibility to access this content from within box. The idea is to have a new folder type (external content), which can then be configured with a connection string, user name and password. Users could then just browse those external sources from within box.
Ideally a copy and paste should also be…

Definitely understand why our customers ask this and agree it would be useful.
However, it is a fairly large amount of work to get this implemented and I am not sure it would be used often.
I am going to mark it as “Not Planned” right now, but if we hear this request come up more often, we can review adding it to the backlog.

Set specific expiration dates on the different types of shared links.
You can do it for all in one option but not specifically on one type of shared links. Example just "People with this link"

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.
