block sign-in/access to the personal/free version

My company uses the Collaboration Links (from another company's Enterprise version of Box). Using our firewall function, - Allow "somecoop.*.box.com" - Block "*.app.box.com" I tried to select other companies that can access, but the personal/free version of Box is still accessible. I would like to block sign-in/access to the personal/free version of Box. Do you have any ideas? (Blocking specific URLs, etc.)

Question: How can an organization report on the last password change for users in their enterprise?

One aspect of maintaining security posture is ensuring users are updating their Box password periodically (especially if SSO is not enabled). Is there a way to report on the last password change through Box reporting?

Box Relay & Templates

Hi! We use box relay everyday, most used example would be a folder is created in “Inventory” and then 5 sub folders are automatically created. I want to create document placeholders in one of the sub folders , example inside a sub folder is document 1, document 2, document 3. These are just placeholders for an employee to attach a document to. Is there a work around for this?

Which level of admin access is right for you and your org?

Whether you’re setting up your instance for the first time or perhaps knocking the cobwebs off your older admin structure, Box offers a number of ways to assign responsibilities and access for just the right need. Below are some of the quick hit details about the nuances between the different admin levels. I’m curious how different admins in different industries or Lines of Business divvy up their roles. Let’s discuss! Admin Role The Admin role has the highest level of authority and access within your enterprise. Only one managed user can be assigned the Admin role, although one or more managed users can be assigned co-admin roles. Admins can: Access the entire Box Admin Console (Business Plans and above) Assign Co-admins, group admins and define Co-admin access permissions Log in to any user’s account (Business Plus and above plans only) Configure account-wide settings for sharing, apps, notifications, security and more Run reports to monitor account activity Run reports to audit chan

Box AI Principles

Generative AI has become a hot topic, how is your organization think about this exciting new technology? See here for Box AI principles and we welcome your comments Box is committed to the following principles when using and providing AI capabilities in Box products. Full customer control of AI usage. We’re committed to ensuring that our customers maintain control over their own data and processes. Customers may enable or disable the use of AI and decide whether AI should be applied to their content. No training models using customer content without explicit approval. Box won’t train AI models using customer content without the customer’s explicit authorization (for example, if a customer wants to create a customized AI model based on some of their content, they will need to explicitly agree to allowing this application of AI to their content). Explanations of AI output. We provide users, wherever reasonable, with a clear understanding of how our AI systems work and the rationale behin

Hello, I would like to remove an option from a java classification. I use the following code: List<MetadataTemplate.FieldOperation> updates = new ArrayList<>(); delete.setOp(Operation.removeEnumOption); delete.setFieldKey(“Box__Security__Classification__Key”); delete.setEnumOptionKey(option.getKey()); updates.add(delete); return MetadataTemplate.updateMetadataTemplate(boxAPI.getAPI(), boxAPI.getScope(),Metadata.CLASSIFICATION_TEMPLATE_KEY, updates); but I get the following error: The API returned an error code [403 | q5q8oghr0krwv557.0be56fb8d3a04661fa87b95f7aa219311] forbidden - Template operation can’t be performed due to existing policies on the template. thank you in advance for your help

Add ability to discover basic file information from shared link

For our use-case, we have a shared link from our tenant and we’d like to find out some basic information about it: file id, owner id, etc. Currently, we can pull that information if we already know the user but we receive a 404 error when we try to access it with an admin account. Would it be possible to add that functionality? We’re currently using this method: BoxItem.Info itemInfo = BoxItem.getSharedItem(api, sharedLink, );

API Token Connection Error with Box

I am currently using a Box trial account and have connected the API to another application. However, the connection only works for about 1 hour before being lost. I would like to ask if this is the way Box’s algorithm works or a limitation of the trial account. Thank you for your help.

Public key already in use. Please add a unique key.

I am integrating Box with Bubble.io , I have created a free personal account in Box. I created an app and used the JWT from Bubble to create an key. Since I could not find an enterprsie ID, I deleted the app and started again. I then created a new app and when I use the same JWT from Bubble., I get error message “Public key already in use. Please add a unique key.” Unfortunately its not possible to generate a new JWT form Bubble. Please advise : How to get an enterprise ID (is it restricted on personal plans?) How to resolve the error "Public key already in use. Please add a unique key". Best Regards

Using the "Mini Box MediaInfo Video Metadata Uploader" for image files

Hi, I’m able to get the mini-box-mediaInfo-video-metadata uploader to function and fill in metadata fields on images in my Box folder. Unfortunately, the type of metadata that it recognizes for image files isn’t complete. It doesn’t seem to capture metadata fields such as: Tags, Date taken, or any of the Camera specific metadata fields (among others). Is there a way to remedy this? Thank you!

Issue with Invalid 'sub' Claim in JWT for Box Authentication(Auth Error)

I’m currently encountering an issue while attempting to utilize JWT authentication with the Box SDK in Node.js. Issue with Invalid ‘sub’ Claim in JWT for Box Authentication(Error: Auth Error: Please check the ‘sub’ claim. The ‘sub’ specified is invalid. [400 Bad Request] invalid_grant - Please check the ‘sub’ claim. The ‘sub’ specified is invalid.) Specifically, I’m trying to create a folder in my Box account programmatically using the provided code snippet. Despite verifying the accuracy of the JWT configuration file, ensuring that the JWT token has not expired, and confirming that the client ID and private key information are correct, I continue to encounter authentication errors. Additionally, I would like to mention that I created the application in the Box Personal Pro version, resulting in an enterprise ID of 0. Could this enterprise ID value be contributing to the authentication issue? Furthermore, even after creating another account with a free version, I’m still experiencing t

Non-Trusted Certificate preventing scheduled FTP connection -- Please help!

We use WS_FTP to schedule nightly FTP transfers to and from Box. Lately these transfers have failed, and I suspect (as well as hope) that the culprit is a Non-Trusted Certificate (see screenshot)! I need to remedy this quickly, because copying these files manually is setting me and others behind at work. I’m reluctant to “trust this certificate” as I’m filling in on this task (with others falling to my colleagues) for my CIO who is out on extended leave, and I’m not sure what potential liabilities I might expose my employer to. Is this something Box support can help me with? DigiCert, Inc. support was unable to address this issue and didn’t think I could do much about it either; they basically said Box would have to reorder and reinstall this certificate. Thanks, Ian
