Box Platform

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. Do

I put Box Sign projects on hold for a year in hopes box.com would fix various web UI bugs insigning documents.Sadly, I still see an unacceptable overstrike and now even multiple font sizes on that overstrike, etc. But now that I’ve come back, I find that I can no longer get CCG to work with the User ID set inthe app.  ( CCGAuth() in Python SDK. )  The initial authorization works when using Enterprise IDBUT that is not what I want because when using the Enterprise ID, it never could access mytemplates--They were only accessible when using the user id.  (the User ID in the app config.)( It was previously able to access them when using the “user” argument to CCGAuth(). )I changed nothing.  It stopped working.  Yes it was still authorized then reauthorized for good measure.Is this a bug or a feature?  And is there a way to get the old behavior?  Other than this:Sadly I had to switch back to regular OAuth2 using

However, yesterday it seems to be no longer providing the access token.Instead, now I get the response:{"error"=>"invalid_grant",

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. When I execute the authentication command below, I get :  {"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"Grant credentials are invalid"} curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token" \     -H "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \     -d "client_id=craxv9gzavoiyj5knhu88kot0yv3sej6" \     -d "client_secret=XXXXXXXXXX" \     -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \     -d "box_subject_type=enterprise"  \     -d "box_subject_id= 0"The client_id and client_secret are correct.  I tried providing “user” as box_subject_type and my user id but it didn’t

Hello,Please, anyone has some tips to solve this problem with images storage with BOX platform   

Does anyone have some sample code to upload a file with Python SDKGEN? (nothing fancy, just an small file, so I don’t need multipart uploads, etc).  I see the following in the docs :parent_client.uploads.upload_file( UploadFileAttributes( name=get_uuid(), parent=UploadFileAttributesParentField(id="0") ), generate_byte_stream(1024 * 1024),)This seems overly complex and I’m not sure how to implement it. Do I really need the generate_bye_steam line? why? And am I supposed to import the UploadFileAttributes and UploadFileAttributesParentField functions and call them? Yuck. In the old SDK I just did this:new_file = box_client.folder(OUTPUT_FOLDERID).upload(file_name)

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://d

What happened to all of the request examples on the Box API References? https://developer.box.com/reference/

I’m runng a script on my local machine: from boxsdk import Client, OAuth2from boxsdk.exception import BoxAPIException# Authenticate with Boxoauth2 = OAuth2( client_id='xxxxxxxxx', client_secret='xxxxxxxxx', access_token='xxxxxxx' # Replace with OAuth token for production)client = Client(oauth2)try: # Get the root folder root_folder_id = '0' folder = client.folder(folder_id=root_folder_id) # Print basic folder information folder_info = folder.get() print(f"Accessing folder: {folder_info.name} (ID: {folder_info.id})") print(f"Total item count in folder: {folder_info.item_collection['total_count']}") # Retrieve and list items in the folder with a higher limit items = list(folder.get_items(limit=1000)) # Check if items are in the folder if n

A government agency publishes a public folder to share a data set. I have no relationship with the publisher, thus no credentials. With the web browser interface, no authentication is required, works really well, can download every file. The Python SDK is getting super difficult for the task of accessing a public box folder. I can retrieve a list the file and folder names When I try to get anything with the file object file(file_id=item.id).content … download_url(), download… I get a 404 error, Not found. The assumptions I’m making: I need a developer account I need to create a custom app Select an auth method (e.g. OAuth) 3.5 Download the 3 secrets (client_id, client_secret, token) from custom app. Build a client object with the OAuth 5 With either the URL or the folderID get an object to the root folder. Iterate over objects in the root_folder Based on one post from

i can see svg inside html markup when it comes files extensions. of couse i can copy, paste and hardcode then. we’ve got box.com pckg installed on our salesforce orgthe question is - is it possible to find some inside the package or it always get rendered online?

I’m trying to experiment with the Box CLI as a proof of concept for Metadata querying.  I’ve created a command like the one below and when I hit enter, it just sits there (one’s been going for well over 10 minutes) but no errors. What am I missing? box metadata-query enterprise_###.### <folderID> --query "projectNumber =:projectNumber" --query-params projectNumber=190153 --limit=10I’ve tried the same query with projectNumber=”190153” and get the same thingI’ve tried at different folder levels. I can create this same query in Web app and the decoded parameter isprojectNumber","value":{"enum":["190153"]} I’ve verified that my scope and template matches what’s returned in the Web App URL. The metadata field is a text value and I suspect that’s where my problem is. Thanks!

I have implemented the Box Content Viewer including the Content Sidebar showing activities. The sidebar contains a drop-down that should allow you to add a task. When clicking this I get two options, but when I select one of the options nothing more happens. It should open a dialog where you can enter your task.Anyone knows how to fix this?

Hello everyone,At work, I am often shared a box.com link and I have to download the files in those shared link as part of my day to day work. So I need to open the link in a browser, select the files and then download them.Due to the number of files I need to process, I am trying to automate these steps. Using AI tools, I have managed to come up with a VBA code that would download publicly shared files (For reference I am not allowed to install other programming language, so VBA is my only option).The problem is that it only works for publicly shared files, my company use an enterprise version of box.com and the url shared are like this:https://COMPANYNAME.ent.box.com/s/RANDOMNUMBERS&LETTERS The file links are then found and they are:

I tried to get all representations of a file like this:curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/123?fields=representations \    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"I just get the message: no matches found. If I omit ?fields=representations I do get a response, so it looks like ?fields=representations is not working.I also tried getting a basic thumbnail:curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345/thumbnail.png" \     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"I do get a file, but it’s just a generic image showing the file type.Is there any way to get a thumbnail that shows some of the actual content of a PDF file?

Hello, I have a question. I am currently integrating Box into my application using free account. I am wondering if I need any approval from Box or am I allowed to integrate Box into my own web application and use Read/Write rights? Thanks, Luka

Hello, This is less a question and more a suggestion. Could there be a way to see managed users in the share function so that a box could be ticked next to the username rather than typing each person’s name into the share box. This would be especially helpful given that we cannot share hubs with a group. If so, having a “share with all” button would also be very helpful. Thank you

I have a template which works just fine with prefill_tags and defined signature placement, etc. The moment I try to add other files i’ve previously uploaded (and captured id’s of) via source_files and additional_documents in the payload, the template becomes null and the signature request will only include those additional documents. That is to say, I cannot find a way to use both a template and add additional files to a signature request. I am using jwt authentication in python.

Hi Team,I am working on creating Box Wrapper Service that will be using Box SDK for various tasks like Create Folder, Assign permissions, memberships, etc. We are planning to use Box File Request for Upload and Box Preview(in modal popup) to Preview and Download files.I need deployment suggestion on whether to keep the Box wrapper service as Azure App Service vs Azure Function. What are the pros and cons on one vs other? What should be the conclusion.

The ID used in the Get Sign Requests by ID endpoint is a 36-character alphanumeric string; the same type as returned from “id” in the response from Create Box Sign Request. Where can I find this id in the UI?The only IDs I can find in the UI are an 8-character alphanumeric “Request ID” when viewing a Sign Request > See Details, or a 13-digit numeric ID on the in the sign request’s document URL. Neither of these work when trying to use the Get Sign Requests by ID endpoint. Alternatively, can I retrieve this elusive ID via an endpoint, using either of the two IDs I can see in the UI?
