Hello Team

I am a developer for one of the project team @ IBM and would like to utilize box as a data repository of my project such as file system having files and attachments.

 I wanted to access the Box repository from my development server environment through Java API where I need to dynamically copy or update the data to the repository from application. so what and all steps I have to follow for authentication e.t.c . please advice.

Thanks.

    Hi Sravan,

     

    Thanks for developing on Box platform. 

     

    There's mulitple ways to authenticate on Box, please read https://docs.box.com/docs/oauth-20

     

    The easiest way to get started might be to download one of our SDK's https://docs.box.com/page/sdks and simply enter your credentials. 

     

    Once you're logged in you can follow our API docs for how to move/copy data detailed here: https://docs.box.com/reference#copy-a-file

     

    Here's the Java code: 

    package com.box.sdk

public class BoxFile

public BoxFile.Info copy(BoxFolder destination)
  
public BoxFile.Info copy(BoxFolder destination, String newName)

     

    Let us know if there's anything specific we can help with.
