Hey Prakruti,

 

It seems as if you are new to box and want to build an application that can allow users to upload file to box. I can't exactly tell you about how you can accomplish this inside linux but I can suggest a starting point that can help you to complete your task. Here are few steps which can help you to start your development.

 

1) Create an account on developer.box.com

2) once logged in you can see the API doc reference option at the left side of your screen. You need to go through this document and it will help you to understand how you can build and application to call API's

Basically this document consists of a list of API call's for different purpose, you just need to follow the design guide and your application will work as per your requirement.Let me know if this helps

Basically you can access all those api's given in the list, Its totally free for use. But before starting your work you need to create a developer account(Its also free)
