I've been successful using Postman in uploading files to Box. However I can't find how to upload entire folders.

 

I've got folders with a massive amount of folders and pdf files in it (60.000+ subfolders and 60.000+ pdfs in those subfolders), and uploading them with Box Drive is taking days and its still not nearly finished.

 

The structure I've got is like:

2012

     01

       01345.pdf

       02345.pdf

    02

       01345.pdf

       02345.pdf

 

Is it possible to upload this entire "2012" folder including all the subfolders and pdf to Box via the API?

    Hi ,

     

    This use cases recipe should give you the details that you need on how to enable that with the Box APIs. It shows how to upload all files within a folder to Box.

     

    Thanks,

    Jon

    I can use Box CLI to upload a folder, but I can't find documentation on how to load a folder with the API.
