Hi Team,

I am using https://developer.box.com/reference/put-users-id-folders-0/ api to transfer all files and folders to another user.

Basically I want to move all the files and folders to another user before deleting user from Box.

right now using this api I am getting an error

{

    "type": "error",

    "status": 400,

    "code": "bad_request",

    "help_url": "http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors",

    "message": "Cannot transfer to folder",

    "request_id": "utx0ilh7sz22ldxp"

}

 

I made sure that request is valid

 

https://api.box.com/2.0/users/userid/folders/0

 

{"owned_by": {"id": "newuserid"}}

  Turned out I was missing scope in my app

  To make this API call your application will need to have the "Read and write all files and folders stored in Box" scope enabled
