Folder Under Retention Should Not Be Purged From Trash
When a folder is deleted from trash that contains files under retention policy it causes issues because the files are no longer visible to the customer to recover them. This happens if the trash admin setting is set to purge all trash in a certain time period.

Fix file/folder size, counts, dates and storage
I'd like to preface this by saying that this is a bug that needs to be fixed, not an idea. Even so, Box suggested we post this here to get others to chime in and say that this should be fixed.
This is a problem that's been around for at least 1.5 years.
Often, when an account's folders and files are transferred to someone else, the account from which the data was transferred still shows something greater than 0 bytes owned. This becomes a problem for deleting that user, because we can't be sure if the transfer worked, and we…

"Move Owned Items" API call fails for users with a large amount of content.
We aim to fully automate the deprovisioning of users using Box Platform. This normally involves transferring content the user owned to their manager or another service account. For users who own large amounts of content this is challenging (even via the UI), and not possible at all using API.

Unable to Retrieve Collaborator Email Address for a non-Registered Collaborator
From the Developer:
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a collaboration to a folder with email, that not already registered in Box.com.
2) Create a request via Java SDK to get collaborations from this folder. Response like this will be returned:
{"totalcount":1,"entries":[
{"type":"collaboration",
"id":"987654321",
"createdby":{"type":"user","id":"23421234","name":"xxx","login":"xxx@xxx.xxx"},
"createdat":"2016-09-05T07:18:42-07:00",
"modifiedat":"2016-09-05T07:18:42-07:00",
"expiresat":null,
"status":"pending",
"accessibleby":null,
"role":"editor",
"acknowledgedat":null,
"item":{"type":"folder","id":"123456","sequenceid":"0","etag":"0","name":"FolderToCollaborate"}}
]}
'AccessibleBy' is null. So we don't receive an information about collaboration, for example email. But if user with this email registered in box, we receive information about it, like this:
...
"status":"accepted",
"accessible_by":{"type":"user","id":"1233445678","name":"Yyy .","login":"yyy@yyy.yyy"},
"role":"viewer", …8 votesThe accessible_by field now returns email addresses of unregistered collaborators.

Disable 'Upload via Email' Admin Setting Globally
Currently, the 'Upload via Email' setting (that's shown on the Folder Settings page) is always enabled, and admins have no way of disabling this setting globally in their instance.
REQUEST: Add a new option to Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Security -> Uploads that gives Admins the ability to disable this setting/option globally.

Bulk Download Speed Increase
We're attempting to download files over 10 GB using the bulk download feature but it is taking longer than it would take if they were to download each file individually. It appears we are hitting a limit to which the bulk download feature is actually improving their speeds.
9 votesHi! Throughout last year we've thoroughly improved our Zip download capability stability and performance which you should already experience especially with larger bulk downloads.
I'll also take this chance to remind that the functionality has a functional limit of 100k files in an archive or 150GB maximum archive size and recommended values of 10k files or 25GB total Zip size that reflect the natural implications of the way Zip archive is being streamed to customers.
Feel free to post questions and comments, we're here to help.
Thank you!

An administrator or application, with appropriate permission, should be able to make any arbitrary API call
An administrator or application, with appropriate permission, should be able to make any arbitrary API call (subject to enterprise setting restrictions) for any object or user in the Box enterprise. As an example, forcing a developer to find a folder, collaborate the running user (often using an as-user call on behalf of the folder owner), uploading a file, and then remove that running user is complicated, error prone, and wasteful.
In ECM or platform scenarios in which a large number of files are created, they are often referenced by an id value, rather than something mutable like a name or…
0 votesLarge Folder support will simplify the architecture. You still will need to collab the service account into the content.
