Rename Folder

To rename a folder in Box you will need to provide our API with a new name for the folder.

Name restrictions

There are some restrictions to the folder name. Names containing non-printable ASCII characters, forward and backward slashes (/, \), as well as names with trailing spaces are prohibited.

Additionally, the names . and .. are reserved names and therefore also prohibited.
