Hello Team,

We have an web app which stores data. I want to integrate Box with my application. Let me describe what I need. Please let me know if Box provides this service? If yes how can it be achieved?

1. I want that whatever data(files/folder) is there in one's box acc, gets uploaded directly to our app via some API call or something.

2. Whatever files are there on my server, gets uploaded to Box.

Mine application is on python, using django framework.

I have checked Box doc and API. I can see there is way to download zip or files one by one. But this is not I want. downloading from Box and uploading to my application is doable now also. I want something where Files should get transferred directly from Box to my app.

Please let me know team if this is possible. If yes, how can be it done?

 

Many thanks for your continuous support.

 

Regards

Deepak Kumar

  I believe this is a duplicate post of https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/13995150401043-Want-to-download-all-folders-on-Box-on-a-FTP-Server-using-Python . 

  What I commented there is still valid - 

  You are able to download and upload files using python - but you cannot run one command and download everything in a Box account in one go. You would need to go one by one. Also, when downloading folders, you have to download them as a zip and then extraction the zip after download.

  Hi Alex Novotny

  Thank you for your response.

  I think my question was not clear.

  Let me explain again.

  I have a DigitalOcean Server with python. On server we have 2 enitities SFTP and FTP. SFTP we have python installed where my code runs and all. And FTP is used for storing files. SO I want to download Box files using Python to my FTP part of there server. Basically on same server, my code will run in SFTP and File should get downloaded to FTP. Currently when i run code to download files from Box it is getting downloaded to my SFTP side. I want this to be downloaded to my FTP part.

  Please let me know your views. Also If i am still not clear you can let me know.

   

  Thanks

  Deepak
