I am trying to download a file which is there in my box . I have created an APP and i generated access key (bearer token) using client id, client secret. I am getting permission issue (see below) when i call api for download.

Listing files and folders are giving results. only the download api is getting permision error. Please advice

Do i need to give any specific access in the APP for downloading the file?

  HI 

  Make sure your app has 'Write all files and folders stored on Box' application scope as this is required for download. You can find the setting on the 'Configuration' tab of your app

  

  Hope this helps
