Getting started in the community

Hello! My name is Sally and I’m the Platform Product Marketing Manager. 🙂 I joined Box a little less than a year ago and I’m super excited for this new dev community site 🥳. See y’all around the forums!

I work with the Box Partners team and help our Systems Integrator partners build solutions on Box and other technologies. You might also recognize me from the Box for Salesforce Community roundtable events that I present at on a monthly basis! I’ve been a Boxer for almost 7yrs and have specialized in Content Management (FileNet, OnBase, Alfresco) as a Dev/Admin/Architect for the past 15+ years. Back in the old days we had to walk 2 miles each way to check-in and check-out a document 👴. I only recently started developing on the force.com platform for the past 5-ish years. Salesforce is weird and complex and keeps me interested. I’m an awful frontend developer, but I can get by. My primary programming languages are Java and Node, but I like to dabble in C#, Python, and Go. I suppose you can throw Apex in the mix as well. 🤷 If you ever have any questions about content management best practices, process management, or Salesforce integration best practices, feel free to re

Hi Box developers and builders! I lead Box’s Developer Platform. Look forward to connecting with you all and help you ship your apps & integrations!

Hi all! I joined Box in 2017 as a software engineer and over time I transitioned into management. I’ve been in the Platform space since 2019, when I joined the SDK team! In 2022 I became the manager of the Developer Platform team, a mix of frontend, backend and full stack engineers! We work on a lot of different parts of Box: The Box Public API, Developer Console, Authentication Methods, Reporting / Metrics for Box Apps / APIs, Sandboxes, Webhooks, Box UI Elements, Box Skills and more. I’m really excited about our roadmap this year and look forward to hearing the feedback from the community!

I work for a small leading liberal arts college in Virginia. We have been a Box customer for almost a decade now…and Box is our primary storage solution. So far most of our development has been for Box administration, using PowerShell and the Box CLI. We are starting to reach out across the University to see where we can assist in adding Box components to unique projects. When I am not working, you will find me paddling, mountain biking, or touring the country on my road bike.

Hi, to access folders and files created from a BOX Application, in the past I used the Content option in the browser, now, that option is not showing the folder structure. My question is: Where can I have access to the folder structure like before? Thanks in advance, best regards, Gerardo

Good day! I’m Mark with the University of Illinois where I run the Canvas service for our campus. Before that I ran our Blackboard Learn service and was a Blackboard MVP. The U of I has been using Box storage for quite a few years as our enterprise storage solution. I’ve heard that we have over 6PB in Box, so I’m glad to see all the technicians and engineers here that keep the boilers stoked for us! I enjoy developing solutions to link together disparate systems, so if anyone needs input from a member of higher education for any reason, please reach out!

I’m based in NY and looking forward to helping our customers have a great experience with Box.

Hi Box Devs! I’m Will, the product manager for Box Governance. If you have any questions about our governance api’s or general governance solutions advice, feel free to ask!

Hello there! I’m thrilled to be joining the community and eager to learn more about the incredible work our Box Devs are doing. I’ve been a part of the IT team at Box for around two years now and it has been an amazing journey so far. Looking forward to connecting with fellow community members and expanding my knowledge in this dynamic field!

I have been at Box for a year and a half and previously from DocuSign. Let me know if you have any questions about Box Sign. Great to meet you all!

This category is for general discussion. Join in on the conversation!

Hi, I’m Peter Christensen, Platform Solutions Engineer. For the past five years I have been helping customers get the most out of Box API and integrations. Been in the content management space for over 25 years as a developer, consultant, architect and solutions engineer. Java is my preferred language but happy to converse in other languages as well 🙂
