Error:"Invalid value 'd_xxxxxxxxxx2'" while using Box config file

Hi All
I am facing an issue only when using Box config file.

It is failing exactly on the line highlighted in below code snippet.

I am passing "xxxxxxxxxx2" as my parent folder Id. But in the exception message it seems to be appending "d_" before the parent folder Id.
Whereas, I can see no issue when using Developer Token for the same task.
Exception:

The API returned an error code: 404
{"type":"error","status":404,"code":"not_found","context_info":{"errors":[{"reason":"invalid_parameter","name":"folder","message":"Invalid value 'd_xxxxxxxxxx2'. 'folder' with value 'd_xxxxxxxxxx2' not found"}]},"help_url":"http:\/\/developers.box.com\/docs\/#errors","message":"Not Found","request_id":"ejhgfyugchbakus6"}

Code snippet:

Reader reader = new FileReader("src/main/resources/xxxxxxxx_xxxxx_config.json");
BoxConfig boxConfig = BoxConfig.readFrom(reader);
IAccessTokenCache accessTokenCache = new InMemoryLRUAccessTokenCache(100);
BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection bac = BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppEnterpriseConnection(boxConfig, accessTokenCache);

BoxFolder bfolder = new BoxFolder(bac, "xxxxxxxxxx2");
for (BoxItem.Info itemInfo : bfolder) {
if (itemInfo instanceof BoxFolder.Info) {
BoxFolder.Info folderInfo = (BoxFolder.Info) itemInfo;
if(folderInfo.getName().toString().compareTo("Folder1")==0)
{
info = folderInfo;
}
}
}

    This usually indicates that the token you're using does not own or have collaborator access to the folder ID you're passing in.

    Hi, I am having the same error with the following additional details:

    I created a folder (I assume the ownership is tied to my User Account)

    I can't access perform uploads/downloads to this folder with my App (Service Account).

     

    I have authorised my app to 'Act as User'

    My app is also authorised to read and write.

     

    What other steps am I missing to deal with this issue of 'collaborator/access'?

    Appreciate your help on this. 

    Thanks!

    Hi Kourtney,

    This usually indicates that the token you're using does not own or have collaborator access to the folder ID you're passing in. 

    If so how to do to own?

    Hi Brielle Purnell, how do you provide the token access to the folder ID? Much appreciated!

    @Soup - I don't know exactly what you mean. If you are having the same problem as Biswa_Dutta and I, then the solution is to make sure the service account (automated user) has collaborator access to the folder ID. A preliminary step would be to make sure your Client ID and Client Secret are authenticated.
