Does Box offer the ability for an app that is created on the dev console to have its own specific account? I am working on building an app that is integrating box. We will have internal users and external users. Some information will need to be shared between the two and it would be nice to drop those files into a box account that is specific to the application rather than mixing internal and external users in the same account. Thanks.

Hi , when you create an Oauth 2.0 app with JWT your app does get an account (with email address and storage space) you can use the same for your integration purposes.

As Nayak correctly stated, a JWT app automatically has what we call a Service Account that is a dedicated user for that app.
