So, what is Metadata?Metadata is just information about other data, or in the case of Box, additional data about a file.What are example use cases?There are likely many different use cases for metadata within your organization, spanning from vendor contract management to accounts payable to creative services libraries, working with digital assets, images, and videos. For example, your marketing team may be sourcing and managing digital assets for events and campaigns. How do they find all the assets available?

I know that calls to api.box.com count against an API limit of 50k to 100k calls. Do requests to `dl.boxcloud.com` count against that limit as well? e.g., if I call `https://api.box.com/2.0/files/:file_id/content`, is that two chargeable requests counting the redirect, or one?
I’m an admin trying to transfer files from one user who has left our organization to her supervisor… however… I am getting an error "Source User is locked" with the API or “...is in another operation” when attempting to move files or change the folder owner in Box -- it’s been several days and it just never changes. I’ve tried several things and tried waiting for days -- but this is just a weird account that won’t budge.

When I try to access my account I receive this message. "Your password has expired. Enter your email address and we'll send you steps to create a new password." The problem is that I no longer have access to this email, as it no longer exists. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem, so I can regain access to my files? Thanks in advancedE. Lopes

Dear Box Support Team,I hope this message finds you well. We are currently in the process of integrating Box API functionalities into our application. While we have successfully accessed sign requests through the Box API, we have encountered specific requirement that we are seeking clarification on:Checking if a User Has Signed a Document: We need functionality in the Box API that allows us to determine whether a specific user has already signed a document. Unfortunately, We didn't find this functionality in the current Box API for sign requests. Are there alternative methods we could utilize?Thanks.
My computer is not syncing to Box, and I am unable to sign in.
Hi,I am generating a token following the tutorial for JWTs (grant_type: "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer"). The API does return an access token, and it does work, but it doesn't seem to have the structure of a JWT (3 sections separated by dots...).I am requesting it using a RSA key pair to sign the request.I wonder if the tokens are encoded in a particular way, encrypted, or it is just an access token and not really a JWT.Thanks!
Hi everyone, Keeping track of user activity in Box can be a challenge - does anyone have any best practices for what to look for in Box reporting for tracking users? Thanks!
What types of user interactions with Box AI are recorded in the User Activity Report, and how can Box Admins utilize this information?
Hello!Has anyone worked on retrieving the Collaborations Report using Box API in Python and not from the Admin Console? If yes, I’m looking for possibilities to create the report and your knowledge/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Thank you,Suvidha Vaddula
