Hi,

Is there any API that can remove specific user share from a specific file? I saw there is an API to remove a collaborator in general from the account, and i saw i can remove shared link like public or domain links, but I just want to remove specific user I shared with him the file from the specific file I shared with him.

Thanks for the help.

First, you’ll need to identify the Collaboration ID : https://developer.box.com/reference/get-files-id-collaborations/


Then, once you have the collaboration ID, you can remove the collaboration ID : https://developer.box.com/reference/delete-collaborations-id/


You have to keep in mind that you can have many collaboration IDs for the same file, if for example, you have created the collaborations separately.


It means that, if a collaboration ID has been created to a single user, then if you remove the collaboration ID, it will remove the user from the collaboration. On the opposite, if you collaborated 3 users under the same collaboration ID, it will remove the 3 users when you remove the collaboration ID.
