We are looking to interact with millions of files. We have noticed on the box site that Enterprise business plan has a limit of 100,000 API calls per month. Can this rate be increased? If so, what can it be increased to?

Hello,I have had a script working for a while and recently I started getting errors.Example:box storage-policies:assign 1111111 22222222Errorbox : Unexpected API Response [403 Forbidden | 0c905f030dd35551650c37d06ecdc251d.0c905f030dd35551650c37d06ecdc251d] forbidden - Purchase validation failed.I’m not sure why this started happening.  I’m about to go through setup again in hopes it will fix it.

Hi,I’ve been going around in circles for the last hour and a half trying to figure out how to use a Limited Access App on a free account. Is this even possible? I’ve seen various posts from a year ago saying this feature had been “temporally” disabled, is it still “temporally” disabled? I’m up to the point of trying to authorize the app but none of the menus as described in this tutorial are visible for me. Cheers,Michael

We want to avoid getting charged when moving some files from box to sharepoint. apparently there is the API issue where we have to manually download one file by one file vs using boxs ability to download and move but we wanted to make sure we knew the exact difference and options before we spent hours moving files for an important peoject. 

I'm having problems with API requests to my Box.com account. I'm trying to read the contents of an XML file in Box, but I'm getting a 403 error code. Is this because I only have a starter account on Box?

Hi,I have a question regarding OAuth authentication in Box. Currently, we are using the Splunk Add-on for Box, and I am trying to configure the account using OAuth to collect file and folder metadata.I have configured an account using OAuth in the add-on to collect file and folder metadata. I have created a Client ID and Client Secret from one Box account and added these credentials in the Splunk Add-on for authentication. During the authentication process, the add-on redirects me to Box to authorize the request.However, I noticed that if I log in with a different Box account during authorization, the add-on still allows me to save the account without verifying whether the provided Client ID belongs to the logged-in Box account. As a result, the metadata retrieved for files and folders corresponds to the account used during authentication rather than the account from which the Client ID and Client Secret were generated.I would like to confirm whether this behavior is expected. Shouldn'

HiAs a service I need to scan files on box of Users. Since I will exceed the API limit under the quota given by Box as per purchase. My Client informed me the api calls made form Apps in Box integration are free. So, Is it true that If I make API calls from the clinet-id and client-secret that of APP published by us and added by our client will be free. Will this not be counted in quota.Since plan supports 100K API calls and can I make >100K API calls free.

What is the command to increase the storage quota for the Box platform account.How do we connect to other platform accounts from your own app.

Hello,We use DocuSign for the signature of all our sales orders. With the support of DocuSign, we have created an integration (or Connect) between DocuSign and Box. This captures sales orders as they are signed. We are also hoping to use this connection to download a bulk history of a load of DocuSign signed envelopes.We have tried this a number of times - from different browsers, clearing cache & cookies etc - to sync these legacy envelopes to Box. The publish and sync works, but each time, it delivers a different amount of envelopes to our connected Box folder. DocuSign are saying that because the CSV publish worked on their end (and shows 514 envelopes), the issue is with Box. However, we’re not getting that many envelopes in Box - maximum is around 250, but varies between approx 130 and 290.What else can I try to ensure the integration works as expected?Many thanks,Tom.
