the number of entities in this world

I'm writing to let you know about an upcoming issue that may affect your application that uses the Box API. In approximately three weeks, our file IDs will be crossing the 2^32 boundary in size. In short, that means that if your application is storing Box file IDs as small integers or 32-bit numbers, it will be unable to correctly store our file IDs once they pass 2^32, so your app will no longer be able to access files stored on Box (though uploading new files will continue to work).
To prepare for this, you'll need to change variables in which you store Box file IDs to either VARCHAR or STRING types. If you have any questions, please email us at API@box.com - we're here to help!
If you have an iOS app, it is especially important to note that the Apple App Store review team gets inundated with updates and new apps starting in early December, so if you need to submit a new version, be sure to do so by the end of November.
Thanks,
The Box Platform Team"
