  1. 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.

  2. Support Password-Protected Shared Links for Box Notes

    There's a known issue/limitation currently (https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Your-Content/Box-Notes-Notices-and-Known-Limitations/ta-p/340) where Box Notes do not work correctly when the shared link is password-protected.

    REQUEST: Allow Box Notes to have password-protected shared links just like any other file on Box.

  3. Add SHA1 hash value to event stream for applicable events

    We have built a custom event stream logging application to maintain a local database of shared links and their targets. We would like a SHA hash to be added to the event stream for applicable events (shared link create, file upload, file download, etc.) to ensure we can identify uniquely the file version in use in a defensible fashion.

  5. Ability to get all folder/file information by "Splunk Add-on for Box"

    When we tried to get all folder/file information in our Box environment, Splunk can't get it because the "Splunk Add-on for Box" package simply gets information only of the API key user who is actually an super admin.

    if all folders are owned by a super admin, there is no issue. However, we allow all end users to create their own folder on root level.

    Since this app is owned by Splunk, Box has no control over additional features. Please send this request directly to your Splunk account team to get this prioritized on their roadmap.

  6. 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.

    As it stands, Box Universal app requires an individually based install from the Windows App Store and cannot be mass installed. This will not be changed in the near future.

  9. Expose Metadata & Metadata Templates in Box Mobile App

    Includes the ability to:
    1. View metadata (including templates) already applied to content
    2. Add/edit metadata to content directly in the app

  11. Send out expiration notifications to folder co-owners

  14. 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.

  15. Would like to be able to download multiple files without it creating a zip file

    Would also like to be able to choose where the file downloads to instead of the downloads folder and then having to move the file.

    Thank you for this feedback! This is not currently planned. We will reconsider this with additional demand.

  16. Grid View - Ability to Show/Hide Item Names

    By default, Grid View in the New UI shows information below the item preview (such as name, etc.).

    REQUEST: Introduce a 'show/hide' option that would allow the user to switch between only showing the thumbnails vs. showing the thumbnails with the additional information (like name, etc.) to provide an enhanced grid view experience when in a folder with many image/video files.

    This is not currently planned. We will let you know if anything changes.

  17. Drag and drop files from Box into a document

    Our users have all of their content/ media files/ images stored in Box. They routinely drag and drop images to a document (PPT, Word etc.) to prepare docs.

    Right now, unless users sync all their files, they cannot drag and drop the file into a document. They have to download it and then add it to doc.

    Thanks for the feedback! There is no workaround for this use case at this time.

  18. Pass Basic Auth (Authorization Header) to Client Callback URL & Preliminary Callback URL when Both are Present

    Using an API-based web app integration, from the "More" menu in the web app, if developer requires basic auth to complete the request, authorization header is only passed to the Preliminary Callback URL and never the Client Callback URL - even if Client Callback is the only URL present.

    Expected Behavior:
    Allowing the developer to choose whether basic auth is required would imply that we would always pass the Authorization header with our requests so they can validate.

  19. Metadata Search - Only Show Relevant Templates (That Are Already Applied to Content I have Access To)

    Currently the Webapp Search UI filters for Metadata Templates show the user ALL Metadata Templates that are in their EID, regardless of whether the specific user actually has access to any content where that Template is being used.
    This leads to a cluttered list of Metadata Templates in the webapp search filters UI when an EID has many Metadata Templates.
