Hi,

I'd like to send a link to a website that has the box upload widget, however, I want the folder id in the widget to be specific to the user I send the email to.  Can I dynamically share the folder for the upload widget via the api so when I need the email, I generate the folder, get the id, then embed that as a parameter in the link that can then be passed into the embed html to provide access to upload specifically to their folder.

 

I tried just putting the folder id into the html but obviously it didn't allow it because I hadn't selected the folder via the ui for box upload.  Is there a permission setting via API to accomplish this?

 

Thank you,

Paul

  Hi ,

   

  Great question! While not exactly an upload "embed widget", what you're looking for can probably be accomplished by using our Content Uploader UI Element:

  Hopefully that gets you in the right direction!

   

  Thanks,

  Jason
