I am very new to this. I would like to create an app and then share with other user(s). so they can download/upload files in the folder owned by this app. Do I just provide them other developers token to use to access folder(s)/file(s)?

Some more clarification on my question. I believe, I need to get Access Token (not Developer Token) but not clear on how to get that token and how to use it. Any example code would be a great help.

Just to clarify, you want to create an app that allows users on your Box system to upload and download files from a folder associated with your app?

Yes, that's correct Scott. So, I believe, in order to do that I need to get Access Token for my app, correct? While looking around, I found this page - https://github.com/box/box-python-sdk/blob/main/docs/usage/authentication.md but being new to it, not able to follow fully.
