     As you mentioned, this operation requires two API calls. Unfortunately, we don't have an API endpoint that would support moving a user's content and deleting that user's account in one API call.

    hi

     

    Thanks for quick update, existing file or folder transfer api is synchronous in nature.

    If the size of the file is huge transfer will take good amount of time and delete box user api will not be triggered

    as the earlier transfer api result are not returned.

     

    As the Delete box user api is dependent on transfer api it will be difficult for our client to wait for the result of transfer api.

     

    Regards,

    Imran

    Hi ,

     

    Do we have any update on this?

    Does box now have single API call to delete box user and also transfer the folder?

    Hi  !

     

    Thanks for checking back in on this. At the current time, this action still requires two calls; however, you can check out some more strategies for deprovisioning users here: https://developer.box.com/guides/users/deprovision

     

    I'd also recommend raising this as a product feedback request at pulse.box.com. I did a preliminary search and I don't see a topic already raised that matches this desire, so expressing the need for this item in that forum will help to get visibility onto this topic.
