   The list of folders in the file path is contained in the `path_collection` field of the API response; you need to concatenate the names of all those folders.  Something like this should do the trick:

   

  BoxFile.Info file = new BoxFile(api, fileID).getInfo();
  
  String path = "";
  for (BoxFolder.Info folder : file.getPathCollection()) {
      path += "/" + folder.getName();
  }
  
  path += file.getName();
  
  // path contains a string like "/All Files/My Stuff/Document.pdf"

  File object has an attribute called "path_collection."

  You can look at this for more detail:

  "/All Files/My Stuff/Document.pdf"

  how to generate URL for it that works based on the path?
