I am using the Node SDK. How can I allow my app to access files from another custom app in the same enterprise?

    Hello, 

    You will either need to obtain an access token for a user that already has access to the content or, if a JWT app, add the service account as a collaborator on the content. You can get the email address of the service account by making a call to the get current user endpoint. Then, collaborate this email on the content just like you would any other user. 

    Best,
