Is it possible to expose the.xlsx fileson Box to the R programming language so their content can be loaded into the Shiny app without having to download or otherwise copy them to some other location?

Hi Cindy, you would have to use the download file endpoint to be able to expose the files to any app written in R. This would essentially download the content of the file to make it available for the program.

There is this R SDK that was written by a community member which may also help.
