Automating the download of another user's file...

I'd like to know if there's a way to automate the download of a file from a Box link. This is *not* a file from my Box account. Someone else sends me a link to Box.com every day with a list of files, and I want to automatically download one of those files and save it to a specific location. How would I go about doing that?

Hi ,

Welcome to the Box Community and thanks for your first post in the forum!

Unfortunately, we don't currently offer the feature you asked about. You'll need to manually click on "download" in every Shared Link that has sent to you.

The Box Community team shares selected conversations on the community back to other Box teams from time to time, including product feedback. However, if you'd like to provide direct feedback you can always submit a case to Box support.

Thanks for your help and time in the Community!

Is this something you'll be offering in the future? For business use, automating B2B file transfers is pretty standard fare.

Just to clarify, are you trying to setup the automatic file download via the Box web app or using the Box API?

I was attempting to use both. I tried the API but found no such function. I could also use a simple WebClient object, but the location of the file is never exposed on the Download page. It is always hidden behind a script.
