when uploading photos in the Box app, they are in wrong orientation
Since last update, when uploading pictures from the app, if the photo was taken in Landscape mode, it shows as vertical once uploaded. PLEASE take it back to like it was where no matter what orientation we took a picture, it would show up correctly in the files.

Version icon and file information not being updated.
One a document hits version 2, the version counter no longer goes up if the document is updated. The properties > file information is not updated either, which means it does not show the latest modified date and time as if there is a lag.

Formatting text in File Request
When requesting files via the File Request, please allow for bold, underline, or other formatting to be added to the message to remind the uploader.
Too many people will miss the message if it's plain text.1 vote -
If I drag folder directly from my PC to Box, some files in the folder cannot be uploaded
If I drag folder directly from my PC to Box (webpage), some files in the folder cannot be uploaded. I find this problem persist and happen more than once. Why?
This is annoying because after I upload a folder, I need to check manually whether all files in that folder has been correctly uploaded. "Upload folder" function become useless.

If someone is giving us access to the folder with the editor's permission. If we create a file inside of a folder for which we have editor permission, we ought to be the sole owner of the files and/or folders that are newly uploaded. Please refer the attached screenshot for example.

Fix missing Access-Control-Allow-Origin header for CORS 401 requests
This relates to the upload files API endpoint (https://developer.box.com/reference/post-files-content/) but likely applies to other endpoints as well.
When making a call to the above endpoint via CORS, you provide a Bearer token to the request. This token is used to identify the box account to make the request on behalf of, which is then used to return an Access-Control-Allow-Origins header configured to that box account's CORS whitelisted domains.
In the case of a successful request to the above endpoint, the OPTIONS preflight request returns the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header with the request origin set. The actual POST request then returns…

Print Into Box

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.

Add TeX as a supported file type
Much of my lab's documentation is written in LaTeX, or even vanilla TeX.
It would be incredibly useful to have .tex in the list of recognized
file types so that they can be displayed and/or edited in the browser

Ability to use the client share link with templates
I would love for the client share link you can create for individual folders to have the ability to be built from templates. Having to add logos and file descriptions and additional file categories to every client upload link can take some serious time. This should be able to be streamlined by adding the ability to copy from templates so that clients can easily drag and drop files/folders into the correct category and with the added benefit of feeling more professional with company logos already set up for the links

Restructure API endpoints to only use one base URL
We're currently pushing documents from a different system through your APIs using an integration platform.
Here we are uploading files and then assigning metadata templates to them for later use in searches and checking for versions, etc.The integration platform vendor is taking pay through every baseline URL we add to the system as a connector and then allowing us to basically have as many connections to the same system as we want using that base URL. This is relevant to our challenge.
When utilizing the Box API, the base URL (based on the documentation I've found) for uploading documents…

Show a warning message when users attempt to upload folders in a File Request
Frequently we have users attempt to upload folders to use using the file request drag & drop zone feature.
Box does not support the uploading of folders, however it allows users to drag folders into the drag/drop zone.
This gives the appearance that folders are supported, even though they are not. Then when users hit upload they must wait a long time before encountering an error that their upload failed, and it does not tell them why.
Solution: when a user drags a folder into the file request drop zone, immediately show a message that says "Warning: Uploading folders is…
