    Hello,Yes, you can use the Box CLI (Command Line Interface) to interact with your Box folders from the command prompt on Windows. The CLI provides a variety of commands to manage your Box content, including updating folders.

    Steps to Use Box CLI for Folder Updates:
    Install Box CLI:

    Download and install Node.js from Node.js Official Website.
    Install the Box CLI by running:
    cmd
    npm install -g @box/cli
    Authenticate with Box:

    Run the following command to log in:
    cmd
    box configure:auth
    Follow the on-screen instructions to authenticate.
    Navigate to the Directory:

    Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where you want to perform operations.
    Update a Folder:

    You can use the folders:update command to update the properties of a Box folder. For example:
    cmd
    box folders:update <folder-id> --name "New Folder Name"
    Replace <folder-id> with the ID of the folder you wish to update. If you're unsure of the folder ID, you can list folders in your Box account with:
    cmd
    box folders:items <parent-folder-id>
    Syncing Changes Locally:

    If you are using the Box Drive application, changes to the folder's content are automatically synchronized. However, updates like renaming or changing folder properties must still be performed using the Box CLI or Box web interface.
    Note:
    The Box CLI requires you to have a Box account and appropriate permissions for the folders you're working with.    progressive agent

    Ensure that your Box CLI is authenticated and configured correctly to access your Box account.
