  1. Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads

    Provide API Access for file upload to the 'file request' URL. The existing file upload API does not provide a method for anonymous uploads to a 'file request' link. Both the bearer token and folder id are not known and are not available within the URL.

    a possible solution would be to implement an 'OPTIONS' call to the URL to return a throw-away bearer token and the folder id so that the existing file upload API calls can be used.

    When users upload data through the file request feature and enter in a file description, have that description display in the email notification that comes through.

  3. Ability to sort bookmarks with other files (e.g., alphabetically)

    Please allow links/bookmarks within folders to be sorted (e.g., alphabetically) and not stuck to the end of the list. This would make it easier to find items that are dated; I, for example, have all my items dated, and it's super inconvenient to have the bookmarks located separately/out of order within my folders.

  6. Get rid of the green 'refresh' bar when uploading a new document

    Give the user access to disable the green 'refresh' pop-up bar. It’s annoying and requires to be click before you can move on. I challenge your staff to spend a day working in Box, loading and uploading docs – you’ll get tired of it VERY quickly.

    Don’t need more clicks in the workflow!

  7. Stand up on bandwidth and API usage.

    Hi I am a user on the Enterprise plan, but the limitations on upload/download and API calls for the Enterprise plan are really not enough.

    Can the monthly file upload and download or bandwidth usage limit be changed to 10TB?

    As for API calls per month, can the monthly API call limit be changed to 2,000,000?

    I think this replacement rule proposal is a good fit for both parties.

  8. Provide an s3 compatible interface to box

    Provide an S3 Compatible Interface to Box. This will allow applications that have native support writing to S3 storage the ability to natively write to Box instead.

  9. When importing documents they should keep the date of the document, NOT the date they were uploaded.

    When all my documents and files were imported into Box back in the beginning, they all got the same date. That has been horrible to work with. Many documents have similar names but I could always look at the date and know that the more recent one was probably the one I was looking for. But now, I have to look through each document to see if it is the one I want.

    Of course, once I have worked on it, it now has today's date and I can tell my newer documents. But now, even after being on Box…

  10. Please display longer filenames in the Uploading upload progress popup window area

    By design, it is common for our organization's files to have have 40+ characters in the filenames, and I sometimes need to upload them to Box in large batches. However, I can only see approximately 38 characters of my files' filenames in Box's Upload progress area. If I want to track Box upload progress, or if an upload fails, it is very difficult to decipher which file it is because I can't see the last few characters of the filename.

    It appears there is no way to manually extend it to reveal more of the filenames' characters. Can someone please…

  11. Sorting Files Uploaded By File Request

    A single file request collects multiple files which all end up in the same folder from many users. There is no automated way to sort this content e.g. In a case where 500 files are submitted. Can a method to automatically sort this be created e.g. upload zones sending content into separate sub-folders or Relay moving groups of content based on metadata into new folders created upon upload

  12. Universal and Individual Upload Pause and Throttle

    Problem: I'm uploading a lot of relatively large files. The urgency for these is low, but it will take a long time to upload. During this time, I have smaller high priority files to send to a client for approval. However, uploading these smaller, but more important files using a different service is extremely slow. A 30 second upload becomes a 10-minute upload.

    Solution: Have individualized pause buttons on each uploading item AS WELL AS a universal pause on uploads. Also, a throttle to limit it from using all of the bandwidth would be nice, too. Please also make this…

  13. Update Box File Request with additional functionality so that it can perform as a PBC request list similar to Suralink.

    Update Box File Request with additional functionality so that it can perform as a PBC request list similar to Suralink.

    E.g. add more fields, enable option so the File Request does not have to all be completed all at once, enable a dashboard for sender and receiver to see completion progress on the full File Request, enable ability for creator of file request to approve items on the file request and mark them complete, enable ability for sender and receiver to edit the File Request retroactively after submissions.

  16. Unintentional redirects in filerequests

    When accessing a file request link created by another tenant, you may be redirected to your own environment with the error "This page is unavailable or no longer accepting submissions." error.
    The conditions under which this error occurs are
    The publisher is in an environment that requires SSO
    The "Require uploader to login to Box" is ON in the settings.

    I would like to be able to upload files correctly without redirecting to my environment even under these conditions.

  17. Sender details included with uploads

  18. We'd like to limit amount of metadata downloaded by folder GET operation

    We upload one or more files daily to the same folder so the content list of this folder keeps growing. In order to upload first step is to GET the folder by id. This step (https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id/) appears to download metadata of every file in the folder and there's no way to limit it. It ends up being completely unnecessary because preflight check (https://developer.box.com/reference/options-files-content) doesn't need any of it. So, there should be a parameter in folder GET to skip downloading so much metadata.
