  1. Add a captcha to the File Request module.

    Add a captcha to the file request module especially when the module is available from the public. This will prevent file upload from spam.

  2. Metadata Instance Update - Remove when no value should not fail

    When Updating a metadata instance to remove a value from a specific instance, currently today the API fails if the field has no value.

    I would like to propose that if the field had a value it is removed, and if it doesn't - then just ignore the operation. Similar to what add does if the field already has a value, it just silently replaces it.

    As an option, in case others are relying on the failure, maybe add a new operation "forceRemove" so that if there is no value, the code will just ignore it and continue with the…

  3. Fix broken "reverse waterfall" permissions

    Fix broken "reverse waterfall" permissions.

    When I change subfolder permissions to give someone higher permissions (e.g. Editor to Co-Owner), it changes the parent folder permissions too.

    This makes sense that you wouldn't be able to give someone lower permissions in the subfolder than the parent folder, but makes no sense the other way around.

  5. Applying Salesforce Data to a document (file) request that comes back as metadata on the document

    It would be great if the Box Salesforce integration has a feature wherein it will allow metadata fields of Box files take on the data of fields from records (e.g. Account/Contact) in Salesforce. When the file is uploaded, it will have the associated metadata that relates back to the account.

    Searching the community forums, I could not find any post related to this requirement (the only one that was similar was from 5 yrs back and has no responses .
    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360049148314-Box-and-Salesforce-Integration and this forum has since been deprecated.

  8. Fix Version History for Co-Authored Files

    Now that co-authoring is available on Office files (which is a great feature!) version history is paying the price. On files that are edited often, the version history is growing out of control which leads to two primary issues:

    1 - Since only the last 100 versions of a file are available, the significant increase in versions caused by co-authoring means you may only have a few days worth of version history instead of months or years of history. Consider more version history and/or the ability to specify on a file how often an "accessible" version is saved for viewing…

  9. 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.

  12. Save Collaboration Invite

    I included an email address in my invite message, so the invite was not sent and I got the error, "Collaboration invite was not sent because URLs are not supported in the invite message."

    I had dozens of invitees and a fairly long invite message, so it was aggravating when the invite was not saved for me to edit (remove the email in the message) and retry.

  13. Restructure API endpoints to only use one base URL

    We're currently pushing documents from a different system through your APIs using an integration platform.
    Here we are uploading files and then assigning metadata templates to them for later use in searches and checking for versions, etc.

    The integration platform vendor is taking pay through every baseline URL we add to the system as a connector and then allowing us to basically have as many connections to the same system as we want using that base URL. This is relevant to our challenge.

    When utilizing the Box API, the base URL (based on the documentation I've found) for uploading documents…

  14. Multiple IDP Support for Login

    While Box Supports Multiple IDP connections to a single tenant, it is not possible without the tenant to provide a landing page for login. This is something that multiple other providers already support, and asking the customer to supply their own login page to access Box from multiple IDPs hurts both Box and the customer.

    This hurts Box because instead of creating managed and secure users, I now need to juggle 3rd party users and treat them as guests rather than full users. ($)

    This hurts customers by not allowing us to administer policies easily for end users as a…

  17. Box Sign: Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA)

    Box Sign: Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) via integration with LexisNexis for Box Sign.

    IRS requires knowledge based authentication to verify the identity of the person who is signing (confirm social security #, etc. )

    DocuSign doesn't offer this unless you request it and pay extra. Box Sign could require that customers pay extra for this too.

    Mortgage, banking, finance companies require this. 

    5% of all of my customer's signatures require using KBA.

  19. Ability to export search results

    When an admin conducts and enterprise wide search, it would be great if the results could be exported. This would allow one to sort the data and and sum the size of all the files/folders.

    Ability to schedule Platform Activity Report so that admin can monitor API usage on a regular basis. Additional filters for that report in the console will also be helpful. At the moment, admin has to open the report in Excel and do manual filtering.
