SDKs and Tools

Based on the following documentation, we have set setConnectTimeout and setReadTimeout to 300000 milliseconds, but even after 30 minutes have passed, no timeout error occurs and the application continues to wait for a response from Box.https://opensource.box.com/box-java-sdk/javadoc/com/box/sdk/BoxAPIConnection.html When we captured a thread dump while waiting for a response, we observed the following stack trace:at java.net.HttpURLConnection.getResponseCode(HttpURLConnection.java:480)at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl.getResponseCode(HttpsURLConnectionImpl.java:352)at com.box.sdk.BoxAPIRequest.trySend(BoxAPIRequest.java:720)at com.box.sdk.BoxAPIRequest.sendWithoutRetry(BoxAPIRequest.java:378)at com.box.sdk.BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.authenticate(BoxDe

I followed this: https://medium.com/box-developer-blog/box-python-next-gen-sdk-getting-started-with-ccg-81be0abc82d9 And it worked but this stops at `user_client.users.get_user_me()`. I want to be able to list files in my folder and download them. How can I do that? I use python.

Hi team, I’m trying to set up box app with client_credentials grant_type. I have followed these steps: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/client-credentials/client-credentials-setup/I have setup an app with App + Enterprise Access, and have provided all the permission including the all files and folders access permissions.Now I am trying to create a client, and fetch folders and files data with enterprise box_subject_type, but it gives empty list. If I try the same with user box_subject_id, then it works and gives all the files and folders from root folder. But as I understand, this will give give admin level to the client(or the user with which I have authenticated). Is there any way to fetch all files and folders using enterprise access, and which do not need user id?I hav

I have a UWP application that has a file picker and it launches PickerHost.exe when I want to attach a file from Box.When I attach a single file from the Box node in the windows file explorer, it works fine. But when I try to attach 2 or more files, it doesn’t work saying there’s insufficient memoryThe thing is, if I go to directly to the folder location of Box (ie. C:\Users\Username\Box) and select multiple files from there then it works fine. But not when I select from the Box node in the file explorer.I don’t face this issue on other cloud storage applications, only on Box.Wondering if this is a known issue and this line in the Box Drive beta for Windows announcement would address it?  Folder redirection to seamlessly sync root folders from their local hard drive directly into Box, providing a more integrated experience (coming later in this beta)

Using .NET sdk and OAuth2 we give login to box application in our embedded browser. But the box cdn js files ( showing syntax errors) are not getting loaded in our embedded browser. Maybe due to updated features the files are not getting loaded. Can you help us here? 

Hi everyone,I'm exploring options to allow users to edit .docx documents directly within my application using Box.While researching, I came across the ui.openWith() method in the UI Elements documentation, but I see it's now marked as deprecated. Before I go further, I wanted to ask: What is the recommended alternative to ui.openWith() for opening and editing Word documents? Does the ContentPreview UI Element support editing, or is it strictly for viewing? Are there other supported ways to integrate an editing experience for .docx files stored in Box? I'd love to hear what the best practices are for this type of functionality.Thanks in advance!

Tengo un problema complejo. ¿A Soporte técnico de Box se le puede enviar la duda y pantallazos de alguna manera? Al entrar en Open Box.com, me salen las carpetas azules compartidas de una en una, correcto, no duplicadas, pero si entro desde la pestaña de arriba y abro el desplegable (carpetas azules compartidas en pequeño), entonces si salen duplicadas.Otro problema que veo, es que en las carpetas "grandes azules", (no las del desplegable), entro y a parte de otras carpetas azules compartidas, en mi versión web hay más archivos pdf, jpg, excels, etc. que al abrir la misma carpeta en el desplegable, no salen y en las de la persona con quien las comparto, tampoco salen.

Hi, I just added this non react script to our Blazor site and it is complaining that React is not defined.  Could you please check to make sure the correct script has been uploaded?<script src="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/elements/23.0.0/en-US/uploader.no.react.js"></script> 

I’m using the box-sdk-gen to download files from box.  Some of the files are quite large.  With larger files we are experiencing timeouts.  Is there anyway to prevent timeouts.  Are there server configuration changes we need to make or are there settings in the sdk that we can change that might stop the timeouts from happening.   

When we add showAnnotations:true for BoxUiElementsPreview box ui element, we need to mask the annotations call that is being fired /annotations call with our masking url but annotations call is not coming in request interceptor at all to mask it like other calls like comments, etc on preview.how we can resolve it as other calls we are able to mask fired from preview except annotations call.

Hi Box Community,I hope this message finds you well.As part of the BOX redesign in our organization, I worked on redesigning the BOX API Python code. Here is an overview of the code logic and the challenges faced:Code LogicPython code is invoked. Checks for the specific folder ID and retrieves the total number of files available. Creates a loop with a batch size of 100. Executes the download command.Scenario100 files, each with a size of 150 MB, were present in the BOX folder ID.Challenges FacedDuring the download, 96 to 97 files are downloaded with full size, but 3 to 4 files are downloaded with 0 MB size.Workarounds ExecutedPost-download of each file the script revalidates the file size. If the file size is 0 MB, a retry for the download is executed. This worked fine even for large

Hi,We have a need to upload documents to one of our clients.  The uploads will be done via a command line Windows app written in C# using the Box .NET SDK.  We have this already in place for 2 other clients which I’ve done by creating a Platform App for each client.  Each Platform App uses the OAuth 2.0 with Client Credentials Grant (Client Id and Client Secret) for authentication.  Following this pattern I created a Platform App for this new client and it’s awaiting Box Authorization.   However, I can’t find my notes on what needs to be done by the client once the Platform App is approved.  I believe something needs to be done with the Service Account ID once the App is approved, and they need also need to provide us with the ID of the folder in which we will be uploading documents to but I don’t remember the steps that were done for the other two clients.Can you provide me with any guidance on what needs to be done and/or point me to the Box documentation that d

Hello,I was wondering why do the following upload methods return a list of files rather than one single file:Upload file POST "https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content" Returns the new file object in a list.Upload file version POST "https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/12345/content" Returns the new file object in a list.I’m using the .NET Gen SDK which provides the `await boxClient.ChunkedUploads.UploadBigFileAsync` method that returns a single file instead of a list of files. Why doesn’t it return a list of files as the file is chunked? Thank you for the clarifications,Best regards,Antonin
