  1. Request to increase item count per folder limit

    We would like to be able to add more than 15,000 items per folder. We are working with multi-level folders structures within our environment and anticipate having more than 15,000 items within the first level of their subfolders.

    We have an internal initiative to scale up this and several other metrics. And we have made significant progress in terms of the number of items that can be stored in a Folder. I am happy to report that our research have shown that our infrastructure can easily scale up to 1 Billion items in a single Folder.


    Since this initiative is underway, we are in the process of understanding how such a scale impacts the usability of our first party applications that sits on top of our platform. However, accessing such large number of items on a single folder via our APIs should be straightforward.


    Disclaimer: We are not yet committing that such scale limits will be available to all pricing tiers.

  2. Shared Links - Ability to Have Multiple Shared Links per Item (Folder/File)

    Currently, Box's shared link system is a 1:1 ratio between items (files/folders) and shared links, meaning there's 1 shared link per item.

    However, there are various scenarios where users would like to have the ability to create multiple shared links per item, each link with different permissions, etc.

    Example Use Case: For File A...
    --I want one 'people with the link' link with a password added and an auto-expiration set for 10 days from today so that I can share this link to time-sensitive content externally
    --I also want a persistent 'people in your company' link that my internal colleagues…

  3. Box-Notification header - Suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary

    Extend the Box-Notifications header to suppress notifications when promoting an email alias to Primary via API. This header only appears to work when adding or deleting users email aliases, and the documentation on docs.box.com is not specific as to when this is supported.

    This functionality is required to silently mass update users email addresses.

  4. Users with View Uploader permissions should have the ability to edit folders they create

    In this case, the viewer uploader is the owner of the sub folder they have created, but they cannot do anything to it once it is created.

    Can it be filed to be reviewed or modified? If a person can create a folder, surely they can rename it, move files into it. If Box does not want the viewer uploader to be able to rename a folder or move items into it, do not allow viewer uploader the ability to create a sub folder.

    Agreed that it is somewhat strange a viewer uploader can create a subfolder. I believe this was put in place, because creating a folder is somewhat like taking the upload action.

    Sometimes, when many files are uploaded, it is cleaner to upload them all in one place, and so that is why the Viewer Uploader is granted this permission.

    One particular odd consequence, is this person can now create a folder but not rename it (let’s say they made a typo).

    This is not oft-requested and impacts a small minority of users. We can look at fixing this in the future with additional customer demand.

  5. Event Stream for move events wants both current parent and past parent folder IDs

    After a user does a move for a folder or file, admin event logs stream should show the past and current folder IDs the item lived in.

  6. Ability to adjust the search string, while maintaining the current set of filtering criteria.

    As users are searching and adjusting advanced search filters many of times they realize they need to adjust the original search request, and this can be quite cumbersome when they have to repeat the advanced search filter settings.

    Definitely understand why our customers ask this and agree it would be useful.

    However, it is a fairly large amount of work to get this implemented and I am not sure it would be used often.

    I am going to mark it as “Not Planned” right now, but if we hear this request come up more often, we can review adding it to the backlog.

  8. Set specific expiration dates on the different types of shared links.

    You can do it for all in one option but not specifically on one type of shared links. Example just "People with this link"

  11. Query-less search

    Add intelligent search by location, date, etc. but the Search API requires a query. I recommended setting the query to the file extension.

  12. Freedom to move folders

    Content sprawl is our #1 challenge. Please let us organize our folders. We don't want to interfere with the permissions, but I want to have an "Active Projects" folder and a "Project Archive" folder where I can drag and drop those relevant folders in.

  13. Rsync-like upload of file differences

    Sync differentials, not the entire file. This is similar to Rsync functionality.

  18. 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.
