Allow users the ability to make content (mostly video) available offline on the mobile app while also not allowing download permissions acro
Allow users the ability to make content (mostly video) available offline on the mobile app while also not allowing download permissions across the browser, Drive, etc. Something similar to Netflix, which allows shows to be viewable offline on the app with no downloading on other devices.
The reason for the use case is that executives will review confidential trailers on their phone/tablet. They need the ability to review the content even if the internet is spotty. But we need to restrict the ability to download a copy to prevent exfiltration of sensitive content.

Able to get Box user ID by querying the username
Hi, currently in order to find a box user id for ONE user, we need to use
https://developer.box.com/reference#get-all-users-in-an-enterprise
to get ALL users and then filter for the specific user.If would be nice if we can simply query a user's box user id by the username.
1 voteThere is an optional parameter called `filter_term` which can be used to retrieve a user on the basis of the name or login. See link below and a snippet from the dev docs.
https://developer.box.com/reference/get-users/#param-filter_term`filter_term`
Limits the results to only users who’s name or login start with the search term.For externally managed users, the search term needs to completely match the in order to find the user, and it will only return one user at a time.

Ability to set a legal hold on multiple users in one operation
would like to be able to set a legal hold on multiple users (400 users) in one operation. The reason behind why is that “it would be a huge time saver for organizations that have lots of users to be able to add them all to a legal hold or other governance policy at once rather than one at a time. If there were a master distribution group such as “all users” that could be used instead of having to start typing each user’s name one by one that would do the trick.”

Ability to mirror documents in other root folders
Our organization utilizes the collaboration with external users to give them access to view one specific folder relative to their client account. We do not want these users to have access to our main folder that houses the original documents for their client account, but rather only this one specific folder that has a copy of selected documents relative to their positions on the Board. Right now, we have to manually upload or delete new documents to both folders. If there is a change to our original document, we have to manually upload the new version to the copy folder…
1 voteHello, if we understand your request correctly, you could use the bookmark feature to bookmark a link to specific files so the Board will always be routed to the up-to-date version of the original document but not be able to view the rest of the items in the main folder.

Clarification of SDK Authentication
It would be really nice if there was a good clean copy of the authentication methods script. The pieces and parts don't work and it is hard to figure out why. Example... Trying to authenticate with OAuth2 you can't get it to work with the examples and then jumping over to upload files doesn't jive. Aside from the Dev Token method, I can't get anything to work. HOW DO I AUTHENTICATE WITH OAUTH2?
1 voteThe new documentation site has substanitally expanded and clarified information and examples pertaining to Authentication in the SDKs. Please see https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/select/

Remove Open with Office Online Option
We would like the ability to remove the option for opening documents in Office Online (ex: Microsoft Excel Online: Open this file in your browser). We are not O365 customers and people are often confused since the option to open in the native desktop Office app looks practically the same.

We actually already have a ‘Show Folder Tree’ feature in the Web App – you can access it by simply clicking ‘Show Folder tree’ when on the All Files page in your account. Here’s a screenshot of what that feature looks like: https://cloud.box.com/s/zihrv07iv7mei41a0uf8ew5fnc9dlu9n

Ability to apply Retention Policy retroactively to Trash
The trash folder retention policy was enabled after the implementation of Governance.
Files in the trash show a deletion date if it was deleted after Governance was implemented.
The vast majority of the Trash files were deleted prior to Governance, and do not show a delete date.
Will these files be deleted? If not, how do we add these files to the 60 day retention policy?
1 voteThis can be accomplished by setting a retention policy on the original parent folder of the folder in the trash.

Allow selecting a different root folder post install
After we mirrored our production environment to a SFDC sandbox, the sandbox comes with the Box integration pre-installed and the Salesforce Root Folder pre-populated to point to the same folder connected to the production instance.
We would like the ability to configure the sandbox instance of the integration to point to any other folder, either via UI or exposed via SDK/toolkit.
1 voteThis capability exists today in the Box for Salesforce integration. Users can map a Sandbox and Production Salesforce environment to different root folders within 1 Box EID.
