  1. API- Developer token

    Hi team, what would be great is to get the possibility when we develop an API to have a token valid for more than 60 minutes.
    Sometimes, to validate the principle of a dev, it's needs more than 1h
    maybe an other solution would be to create a private app with small validation as the purpose is an internal specific need.

  4. API that facilitates multiple folders creation

    At present, we have the capability to create individual folders from salesforce. Is it possible for Box to offer us an API that facilitates multiple folders creation in one transaction?

  5. Can Box provide us an API which allows us to clone a folder along with its sub folders?

    We have a predefined folder structure as a template, and we'd like to create new folders following this template's hierarchy. As Salesforce imposes limits on external system callouts, if the Box team could offer an API for this purpose, it would enable us to accomplish this task

  6. Box Embed - prevent users from navigating outside the assigned folder

    If a user is assigned to the following folders e.g. All Files > Cases > Case 1.

    Currently, Box Embed Breadcrumbs allow users to navigate all the way up to the All Files.

    We want the users to only be able to navigate only within Case 1 folder and not explore outside Case 1. This is useful to prevent users placing content outside Case 1 when embedded inside a case management application e.g. Appian, Salesforce, etc.

  7. Box Legal Hold Export API

    The current Box Legal Hold Exports function becomes difficult to manage at scale. The export process itself generates "batch" zip files that need to be manually downloaded via the user interface. Because the zip files are limited to 5,000 files or aprox 16 GB, I have one user to export who has over 500 "batch" zip files to download. The API does not support directly downloading these batch files. A way to bulk download or programmatically download these batch files is essential when exporting a very large (either in pure storage size or in number of files) user hold.

  9. Allow more than 10 redirect URIs in app configuration

    Our app sits on top of regionally distributed infrastructure, supporting multi-tenancy, and we need to be able to configure more than the maximum of 10 redirect URIs that is currently allowed. It would be nice if we could configure as many as needed.

  10. Support a parameter to remove all external collaborations for all folders and files under the given folder

    Folder trees often needs to be cleansed of external users. It would be easier for admins to have a single call to traverse through a tree to remove external collaborations (external users, and possibly managed users, etc).

    My suggestion is to add this as a parameter to the existing collaborations API call.

  12. Copy/Create File Request via Salesforce API

    I would like to be able to create a new file request URL via the Salesforce API. I can create a new folder associated to a new record, but I would like to be able to automatically create a File Request URL for the new folder that was created for the new record.

  14. Provide a Datastore to store Developer App Variables and Configuration

    Following the same pattern as Slack's Platform 2.0 Datastore support:
    https://api.slack.com/automation/datastores

    This would remove one barrier to entry for managing app-specific data for Developers.

  15. Automatically enable the Dev Console in a new Developer Sandbox

    When creating a new Developer Sandbox at https://app.box.com/master/sandboxes, it would be helpful to see the "Dev Console" button at the bottom left of the Box dashboard when logging in as the Primary Admin of the sandbox. You can access the Dev Console by navigating directly to https://app.box.com/developers/console, or by clicking a button in the invitation email, but if that button is overlooked, it can be confusing to figure out how to navigate there.

  16. Extend Developer Token for Apps that Integrate with Box.com, the Current Toke has a Limit 2 Months

    Please add a new feature that allows us to change the expiration date of the Developer Token for apps that integrate with Box.com.

    We are currently using Splunk to collect logs from Box.com, but the token expires every 60 days, which is a ridicules short amount of time, and there is no option to extent it to a 365 days or 6 months, if we like.

    Please add this option, it is a pain to have to renew the token every 60 days. I have projects and other things that I need to work on, I should have to be…

  17. Rollup secret for OAuth2 with client credentials.

    Please provide a way to update client_secret without any custom app service impact.
    With the current interface, issuing a new secret invalidates the previous one.
    Periodic updating of secret is a security best practice, but this is not possible with client credentials.

  18. Using folders:items is not recursive

    Running the command
    box folders:items [IDOFFOLDER] --csv --save-to-file-path=[PATHTOFOLDERTOSAVE_REPORT]

    To get a list of files and their respective SHA1 values is difficult as this command has to be run on each folder within the tree. There should be a recursive option, or better yet, a report a user can run to provide the SHA1 values within a tree. This is very important for eDiscovery and chain of custody.

  20. API Call to return all items within the parent directory.

    It would be extremely helpful if you could call the box api to return a complete list of the existing directory in an account. For example, the call could return a json file that contained a usable layout of folders within folders, down to the individual file level. Automation for file operations could be built on this. It would remove the need to recursively call the API to get down to the lowest level of folders to find files.
