    I'm not sure what auth type or sdk you are using, but it sounds like you will want to use as-user calls to impersonate the owner of the files. Here are instructions on how to do that with Oauth and JWT

    Hope this helps,

    Hi Alex!

    I'm using cURL requests to do this, thank you for your response, but sadly this doesn't fit my needs,

    "as-header needs the user to be a user with admin permissions, meaning either an admin, co-admin, or service account.",

    I would need to copy a public file from another box without permissions (the permission is in fact the file being public).

    For example, in Google Drive, a user can copy a public shared file to it's Drive since the file is public, i think this cannot be done in Box without giving at least "Viewer" permission to the user

     

    Thank you in advance!
