I am planning to build a web app and use box to manage file storage, the primary task i would like to accomplish is ability to upload a file using SDK and get a URL to the file. The URL will be used in the webapp. When a user clicks on the file he\she should be anle to preview\download the file. is the possible via BOX API?

 

Are there any reference documents which i use for a quick proof of concept?

 

Thanks in advance

  This is a popular use case for the Box API. 

   

  Here is the link to our SDKs.

   

  Here is the Box API endpoint to upload a file. In response to uploading a file, the API will return a file id for that file.

   

  Here is the endpoint to preview a file (generate an embed link), and here is the endpoint to download a file.

   . Is there a way to doing this via an upload widget without having to mess around the API.  

  I want to be able to upload a file and preview internally on my app and also be able to download the file

   

  Thanks
