Limit on the number of files per folder when connecting to Box

[Zampy]

Hi, I am trying to pull in all the files from a Box repository with several folders that are categorizing the files into different groups.  Overall, there are around 1700 files in total spread among the different subfolders. 

I am able to connect to Box via JWT, but when I did a completeness check I noticed that I am only able to extract the first 100 files in each subfolder alphabetically.  I am currently downloading the files to my local through the connector.  How can I get all the files to download and avoid this 100 file limit?

This post suggests the Box connector is using 'folders:get' instead of 'box folders:items'.  Is there a way I can update the API call to use that function instead?

Hi Zampy - Which method are you using to call the API within Alteryx? Also, what is the command you are using?

I am using the Box connector within Designer to call the API.  I'm about to start looking using the Python tool to load in a script that would call the API that way.

Hi @Zampy , we've just added a new Beta version of the Box connector that solves the 100 items per folder issue. Would you be willing to test it out and share your feedback whether it works for you? If you're not registered yet, use the link in my signature below. Thank you, Vojta

Hi @VojtechT, I'd be more than happy to help test it out.  It would be great to have this as a solution.
