I currently have a need to append data to an existing File. I couldn't find a suitable API to do that. What is the best possible way to append data to an existing File?

   We do not support appending data to a file with the API, but you can upload a new version of a file using this endpoint.

  In that case if I need to update the file with additional data then I need to read the file contents with in my application and then append the data and upload as a new version. Correct ?

   That's correct. You would have to update the file with additional data within your application, and then upload the file to Box as a new file version.
