Can anyone tell me if each file that is stored in BOX has a unique ID?  I'm assuming it must, but can it be made visible to end users within BOX (not thru and API)?

  Hi ,

  What about folders and files id uniqueness?

  Is it possible that folder/id and file/id could lead to different results (assuming that id is the same for both calls)?

   

  And how to get item type if only an id is known?

   

  Thanks
