I am creating a test app for our department. I was trying

BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection api = BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppEnterpriseConnection(boxConfig); 

However I found that if I use this I am unable to download/upload/rename/delete folder/files. What is the proper way of creating an api connection that allows for full functionality?

  Hello Vinoth, 

  What happens when you try to make a call to download/upload/rename/delete folder/files? Is there an error message you can share? 

  Best, 

  Kourtney

  You're using a JWT app, which means by default your token is associated with the applications service account. Just like within Box.com directly, you can only interact with content the user associated with your token either owns or has collaborator access to. The 404 indicates that your service account. does not have access to the  file you're trying to get information about here. Therefore, you'll either need to add the service account as a collaborator OR get a token associated with someone who already has access to the file. Hope that helps!

  Thanks it does help! You wouldn't happen to know the method to get the correct api when using a .json that has a client id within the json?
