    Hi Luis,

    Please share with us how to replicate your experience.

    Is this an OAuth client side or server side (JWT) app?

    Can the user making the call actually see the parent folder where you are trying to create the folder?

    Let us know.

    OAuth 2.0 (bearer token) Server Side.

    Yes the user making the call can see the parent folder.

    Sample curl request:

     

    $curl = curl_init();

    curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
    CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS =>'{
    "name": "New Folder",
    "parent": {
    "id": "parentfolderidhere"
    },
    "folder_upload_email": {
    "access": "open"
    },
    "sync_state": "synced"
    }',
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
    'Content-Type: application/json',
    'Authorization: Bearer bearerTokenHere
    ),
    ));

    $response = curl_exec($curl);

    curl_close($curl);
    echo $response;

    Thanks

    Hi Louis,

    Is this PHP?

    I am unable to replicate your case, an have no php experience, so other than a missing quote next to TokenHere I can't help.

    Please take a look at this curl example:

    curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/folders" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
    "name": "New Folder",
    "parent": {
    "id": "0"
    }
    }'

    it works fine.

    In order to eliminate user permissions, please try to create the folder on the user root folder: 0

    It could be related to application permissions though, please check those.

    Of course that curl request isn't going to work. That's why I created the ticket. Do you have any logs on your end?

    Thanks,
