We will need to set up a Box application to manage Box groups and add collaborators to files and folders in Box.

​
Set up a Box app

​
Download app configuration

To begin working with the Box SDKs used in this tutorial, you will need the application configuration file from the Configuration page of your application. This will include all information needed to verify your application to start making API requests with the Box SDKs. Within the Add and Manage Public Keys section of the Configuration page, click to Generate a Public/Private Keypair. This will send you through 2FA verification before downloading the configuration file for your application. Store that file as boxConfig.json in a location accessible by your application.

​
Summary

  • You created a new, or are using an existing, Box app which is approved by an enterprise admin.
  • You downloaded your application configuration file and stored it in a location accessible by your application.
