  1. 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?

  2. file name order

    When I sort by file name. Why does it go by filename-1, filename-11, filename-12. Can we adjust it so it is sort filename sequence? filename-1, filename-2, filename-3

  4. Customizable reminders

    Depending on the workflow, the pace at which a process needs to follow through might differ greatly. It would be most useful to be able to determine the interval between 2 reminders, and when the first reminder gets sent

  5. 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.

  6. Version icon and file information not being updated.

    One a document hits version 2, the version counter no longer goes up if the document is updated. The properties > file information is not updated either, which means it does not show the latest modified date and time as if there is a lag.

  7. Improve the use of Variable Strings in the JAVA SDK

    For customers who are leveraging an API gateway using Java SDK version 3.2.1 some URL prefix text strings are not dynamically adjusted.

    For example, when customers are downloading the file representation in it tries to call directly the box API URL like the following URL:

    https://api.box.com/2.0/internal_files/123/versions/345/representations/

    Some customers may be leveraging a customer specific gateway, so they need to be able to dynamically change the URL where https://api.box.com/ is replaced with the gateway prefix like all the other calls:

    {{CUSTOMERGATEWAY}} /internalfiles/123/versions/345/representations/jpgthumb32x32

    There are a number of places where the prefix was not dynamic.

  8. Support Routing to 2 (Or More) Proxies for Network Traffic

    Currently Box Sync only supports routing traffic through 1 proxy (identified via leveraging the PAC file on the computer)

    We have advanced network traffic routing schemes in place and need the ability to route Box traffic selectively to 2 (or more) proxies based on:

    -Bandwidth/volume of traffic (i.e., routing uploads/downloads through a different proxy than all other Box traffic)

    -Security (i.e., monitoring and visibility requirements for some traffic but not other traffic)

  9. Collaboration Whitelisting UI Enhancement (enable labels and filter/search)

    When we have dozens of domains in the whiltelist for external collaboration, it is hard to manage.

    We think that it needs some UI enhancements such as
    1) enabling to add a label to each domain e.g. company name, descriptions, etc.
    2) filter or search for the registered domains.

  10. Pull list of all collaborators with a certain user_type at a folder level

    Currently, you can only search by user_type at the enterprise level as documented here: https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#get-all-users-in-an-enterprise

    It would be helpful to be able to do this at a folder level as well.

  11. Allow preview of either the latest 99 comments on a file or all comments

    If a file has more than 100 comments on it, there are 2 issues at play:
    1) the mobile app only displays 100 of the 100+ comments
    2) of the 100 comments the mobile app does display, it shows the oldest 100 comments

    Ideally the mobile app could display all existing comments (aka more than 100 comments). If this is not possible or too intensive a project, instead of displaying the oldest 100 comments it should instead at least display the latest/most recent 100 comments

  12. Bring back the "Login with SSO" link on the login page

    User from universities have 2 email addresses, one they are not always aware of. They are not being re-directed to the SSO login page when they enter the alias instead of the email address on their box account causing confusion. Previously, they would have been redirected

  14. Request for improvement of search function

    The search function is inconvenient and we would like to suggest improvements.
    There are two main points:

    ① Exact match impossible
    ・On the website, there is a statement that You can perform an exact match search by adding'' in the search field, but even if you do this, it will not result in an exact match. (For example, if you search for "Furusato", you will get hits for characters such as "fu" and "to")

    ⇒ Exact match search is not possible (search is performed based on characters)

    ② 10,000 byte search range limit (only the first 2 to 3…

  15. Filter Box Signs by contract status ("In Progress", "Signed", or "Cancelled") from the column User Interface (more intuitive)

    Box Sign: Enable ability to filter by contract status ("In Progress", "Signed", or "Cancelled") from the column User Interface (more intuitive), rather than on the right side (less intuitive).

  17. I am struggling with basic functionality of box i.e. sharing a folder with external users.

    I followed simple steps to use box application to share some business information with external stakeholder.
    1. Created a folder
    2. Uploaded my files
    3. Clicked on share button at the top right corner and added the email addresses of folks I want to share with
    4. Gave them viewer access

    Result:
    1. I can see in sharing panel these new users have pending requests
    2. The users get email notification to access the folder but when they click they get an error 403.

    It has happened multiple times, for some users the process is smooth, others it always throws…

  18. ability to format number field in metadata display to show fixed number of decimal places and commas

    Number fields uploaded as float with 2 decimal places do not display decimals if the digit is 0. Is there a way to format numbers to display as currency format #,###.##? Please add this feature especially useful for using in Box Apps.
