Hello, 

Having a scenario where I will have to read multiple files from one of the Box server, few of them are password protected(separate password for separate file), hence download file operation failing. How to pass file password? 

Any help will highly appreciated.

Thank Alex for replying. 

But I am not looking for a way to read shared file locked with password. 

A password protected file has been uploaded into BOX, I need to read it programmatically. 

Like an excel file I need to give a password to open it, if I upload that password protected excel to BOX, how can I read it using BOX connector.
