Metadata key values of type {number, date} only searchable by range (gt, lt) and not equality
Assume I have a metadata template "Template" with a key - value of type Number. In both the web app and API, it is not possible to do an equality search:
templateKey = template
filters = {"value": 2}Instead, the search requires specifying both lower and upper bounds. If you're searching for a single value, you then have to approximate it with a gt = 2, lt = 2 combo.
a) Most importantly, the API documentation implies that the range parameters are not required when searching by number or date.
b) I think both the webapp UI and the API…

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/

Return collaborated files (single file collab SFC) under a folder via API
Currently, there are two API calls surrounding getting a list of collaborations:
https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#view-a-folders-collaborations
https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#get-file-collaborationsHowever, say a collaborated file exists under a non-collaborated/private folder. Now say the folder is large. It would be less easy to get a list of collaborated files under this folder without iterating through every single file.

Following the same pattern as Slack's Platform 2.0 Datastore support:
https://api.slack.com/automation/datastoresThis would remove one barrier to entry for managing app-specific data for Developers.

Add a "User must pick from the lowest available level" option when adding a Taxonomy to a Metadata Template
The existing options for "What level(s) can users select a value from?" have their use cases, but they do not cover all of the potential applications of the Taxonomy system.
Right now, when I add a taxonomy to a metadata template, the options are "Users must pick from the following level: [level]", and "Users can pick from any level in the list". What I would like to propose is a third option, "User must pick from the lowest available level".
The intent behind this would be to accommodate for Taxonomies where not every item has child items. In much of…

Box Skills triggers for shared links and collaborators
Currently webhooks support shared link and collaborators event triggers. Webhook v1 can be set at org level but does not work. Webhook v2 cannot be set at org level.
As Box Skills is the recommended webhooks for 3rd party CASB providers over Webhooks v1 or v2.
Add Box Skills trigger when a shared link is created/deleted/modified

Box Drive Internet Explorer embedded authentication
Box Drive currently utilizes embedded Internet Explorer (IE) for authentication process. Microsoft will end support starting June 15, 2022 for IE. In addition, IE does support all current MFA protocols including FIDO2 (FIDO2 is supported by all other current browsers). We were informed by support that there is no roadmap to correct this and if this is not corrected by June 15, 2022 we will be unable to utilize Box within our organization due to lack of security being presented by Box and it imbedded IE.

Surface either EID or user_type when requesting collaboration object
Currently, requesting a collaborationobject does not surface either EID or usertype. (as seen in https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#get-collabs)
2 votesThis request is not currently on our roadmap but we’ll update this request if that changes. In the mean time, you can use a subsequent request to get the user information and specify the enterprise in the `fields` query string parameter.

UX - Not clear when a note name is taken
When a user insert a note name and the name is already taken, there is a small notification at the end of the line.
It is not visible enough, and when focusing out the name reverts to the previous option.It took me 2-3 times to understand what the issue is because the notice wasn't clear enough.
Possible solutions :
1. add a suffix to the name
2. make a red bold notice on the name so the user can't miss it1 vote -
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.

Content Manager - allow all folder transfer for all folders owned by one person to another
Using the superadmin box account, I can transfer ownership by folder. This is nice when I want to transfer 1-2 folders, but when a person leaves the university and that person owns 17 different folders in Box, changing ownership is a very manual task. Keep the change ownership model (under Content Manager), but also have an option that allows me to transfer all folders owned by one person to another - be it 2 folders or 20 or 200. Please.

Expose A360 Viewer Integration Better (Preview & Context Menu)
There are 2 main issues with this UX:
1. It's buried in the More Options menu instead of being exposed at the top of the More Options menu, similar to the 'Open with' location for other files.
2. In Preview (or when using a Shared Link to a non-collaborator), the user is not shown any option to use the A360 Viewer (since the full context menu isn't in Preview), so they see a 'we cannot preview this file type' error message.REQUESTS:
1. Expose the A360 Viewer integration better in the More Options (context) menu
2. Expose the A360 Viewer…1 vote -
