  I'm tasked with reorganizing our BOX account.  Before I reorganize our folders and files, I'd like to show my CEO what it will look like prior to the change, for her approval.

  Hi Shawn,

  Not much info to go on here, so let me give you some pointers.

  Using a sandbox is the right way to go, and assuming you want to replicate entire blocks you might want to take a look at our box-cli.

  This will enable you to manipulate folders, for example, reading the from the original structure into a file, manipulating that file and create the new structure on the sand box.

  Although focussing on shared links, this article does provide some examples of how to recursively read folders, writing the information on a temporary file and then using it on the box-cli.

  Hope it helps.

  Best regards
