Any way to get all File Request links after copying to multiple folders (without having to manually copy each one!)

Hi,

I have been testing out the File Request feature and it's really great, exactly what I needed.

I am requesting assets for an event, so each speaker has a sub-folder (around 100 speakers). I have copied my initial File Request and added to each of these folders and this works great (albeit a "select all" button would help, had to click each one!).

But now is there any way of me exporting a list of all the files and their associated file request URLs? Or do I have to click and copy each one individually?

Note that I programatically create the folders via Zapier, but it doesn't seem possible to also automate the adding of a File Request, or indeed to get the file request URL after it has been added which is a shame.

I also can't see any way of "building" the URLs in my database based on logic as they do not seem to be built from other variables.

Any ideas? I see there is a dedicated File Request API now which is great, but I'd need developer support so looking for a short term solution!

Thanks in advance,

Luke

Hi Luke,

Welcome to the Box Community!

At present, there is no feature where you can export all the File request links created on one's Box account.

There is an existing feature request in Box Pulse to support this and you can find the post here:
