Going through the documentation at https://developer.box.com/reference#download-a-file I see you need File_ID and Access_Token to download a file. Can you point to me to documentation that shows how to get those?

 One way to get a file id is searching for the file with the API. For testing purposes, you can use a developer token that can be generated through the developer console. For production applications, we recommend using one of the two authentication models listed on this page.
