Hi All, we had a box developer sandbox created from enterprise admin user to integrate box sign service. we accidently deleted that that sandbox, we want to recover that because sandbox admin was not a enterprise user eg. myName+boxsign@companydomain.com within that sanbox/ admin user there is many important data, how can we recover that recently deleted sandbox. Any help is appreciated.
1. Data is available in reports but not via APIDespite being able to output data for events after December 13, 2024, using the BOX report feature, I am unable to retrieve the same data via the BOX API. The API consistently returns only events up to December 13, 2024. Could you help clarify why this is happening and how to resolve it?2. Scheduled executions do not save data after December 13When I set up scheduled executions of my script to fetch event data, no events after December 13, 2024, are saved in my system. Could you explain why the API is not retrieving or saving these events during automated runs, even though the data exists in the reports? // Function to fetch events from BOX API using the current stream_positionfunction fetchBoxEvents() { const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet(); const scriptProperties = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties(); const accessToken = scriptProperties.getProperty("BOX_ACCESS_TOKEN"); if (!accessToken) { Logger
I use to be able to authenticate as the subject_type user on the client id app kox474mes4cugrj929i4kh5enokukmltThis is a free account and the app is authorized and enabled.However, now it seems that the subject_type is being required to be set to enterprise. The problem with this is that as the enterprise, I have to add the "Automationuser" to the folder I want the user to upload to. This is a problem because I have been shared several folders and it would be a large coordination effort to have everyone add the "Automationuser" as an uploader. And this would break for any new shares if the user wasn't added.Is there a way to still be able to upload as the user that has access to those folders? I tried using the As-User header, but then that returns the error like the folder doesn't exist.

Specifically, I need to understand:If an app user or service account starts a pre-configured workflow through the API (POST /workflows/{workflow_id}/start) Can they add another app user as a task assignee at the time of starting this workflow? I've checked the Box Developer Documentation but couldn't find specific information about this capability. Any documentation references or real-world experience would be helpful.Thank you in advance for your help!
I am working on my first Box API calls. I am using Postman at the moment and was finally able to get the API to access a token to work and I have retrieved a token. I then take that token and send as authorization to the API to list the items in a folder. The Box application that was created for this purpose is a CCG application and I am passing the client ID and secret and the box subject type is enterprise.. When I call the API to get the folder items, it tells me “session expired” even though I had just retrieved the access token. What am I doing wrong?

Hello! We’re a company exploring cloud storage solutions for a project we’re building for our clients, and Box is at the top of our list. Before moving forward, we want to confirm whether the platform can meet some specific requirements, particularly around user access and download control.Below, I’ve outlined our key needs, and we’d greatly appreciate any insights on whether these features are supported natively or can be achieved using the API. Storage Capacity: We require at least 10TB of cloud storage to share with multiple users (between 100 and 1,000 users). Access for Users: Users should be able to access shared folders via the desktop app without requiring local storage space (e.g., files remain in the cloud and download on demand). They will have view-only permissions, allowing them to open and preview files but not edit them. Download Control: It is critical for us to monitor and restrict downloads per user over defined time periods. For example: Users on a trial perio

Hello, I have a box standard account and want to upload artefacts/files from our Gitlab pipeline to the account. Since the upload is done from a pipeline, I decided I created a box app with client credentials grant authentication.

I read that I need to create a service account. However, I can’t find any settings to do this. I read in oth

Hello,Please, anyone has some tips to solve this problem with images storage with BOX platform
I’m a developer together with Coro Cybersecurity and we add a layer of security on top of box. The customer gives us access to box, and we make sure there is nothing in this data layer that could compromise their security. One of our requirements is to get a list of all integrations that are active for a given customer.I’ve been playing around with the console and you can clearly see that there is a list of integrations both available and installed in distinct tabs. However, I cannot find an endpoint that allows me to query for them.I’ve got two questions:Is my assumption correct, that you do not allow to programatically get information about these integrations? If the answer to 1 is yes, will this ever be supported?The closest thing I’ve seen to what I want is here: https://developer.box.com/reference/get-integration-mappings-slack/ but the documentation is broken at some points and I’m not sure we would want to offer this feature to our customers without it being fully complete. I t
