    Hi , welcome to the Developer Community! Happy to answer!

     

    Most of these you can find in various parts of our website. Developer.box.com is a good place to start - have a look over that, I'll link a few pages in response to your questions!

     

    1. How much storage do you provide? 

     see https://www.box.com/pricing/platform!

     

    2. Does storage app specific or account specific. Suppose, I have 3 apps in one account, how does storage distribute to each app?
    Storage is per user! You can see this by signing up for a free developer account and exploring the interface / seeing how apps and users work together. At the end of the day, everything on box is done by user.

    3. What is expiry time of a file on the box?
     
    None! 
     
    4. How many max concurrent access possible for a file on the box?
     
    On Box, "access" is controlled by collaborations. See our object model here!
    There is no enforced limit on those.
     
    5. Is there any fix bandwidth to an account? After completing bandwidth, what is the scope?
     
    Search on community and our developer website for answers to questions like this! https://community.box.com/t5/How-to-Guides-for-Account/How-Does-Box-Measure-Bandwidth-Usage/ta-p/44

    6. How many can users access the same file together?
     
    Same as #4! 

    7. What all limitations does a box?
     
    Not sure what you mean here - get yourself a free developer account and try it out! In general, you will find everything you need via our developer docs page and community sites. Community is designed for the larger Box product, while developer.box.com is designed specifically for developers. 
     
    8. What does the fate of file after deleting the box app?
     
    This is one where you'll want to search community!
     
    9. What are the limits API for upload and viewing using the content SDK? furthermore, How many files can be uploaded with respect to time(day/hours/minutes/second) and same for the view using content SDK.
     

    10.  Does developer token and primary access token are same? I am little confused after reading the documentation. I did not find the developer token.
     
    If you're looking at a primary access token, that means you have selected "App Auth" as your authentication method. That authentication type is only meant for use with the New Box View, which is a sub-"package" of Box's larger Content API:
     
    If you select one of the other authentication methods, you will see the option to generate a developer token via the developer console, and to generate access tokens by the auth method you selected. You can see our authentication model here:
     
    Developer and access tokens both serve the same function - however, a developer token is only accessible via the developer console, while access tokens are obtained programmatically (i.e. via an API call). Access tokens are what you want to use in production!
     
    Thanks,
    Jason
