Box API upload files to admin account instead of APP


Hey I use the Box API and I successfull to upload my files but they are stored at the app storage folder. If you would go to the admin-console and then click the folder Icon you can see the admin folder and then the folder of the created app. How can I change the path that every upload will go to the admin folder that if I relog to box.com I would see all my files in the home folder instead of going to the admin-console every time?


Solution

  • This should work.

        var client = sdk.getAppAuthClient('enterprise', ENTERPRISE_ID);
    
       //filter_term == admin to share the folder with
       client.enterprise.getUsers({filter_term: 'ken.domen@nike.com'}, function(err, users) {
       var userId = users.entries[0].id;
       client.folders.create('0', 'New Folder', function(err, newFolder) {
        client.collaborations.createWithUserID(userId, newFolder.id, client.collaborationRoles.VIEWER, function(err, collaboration) {
            console.log(err);
    
            var fileData = fs.createReadStream('/users/kdomen/Downloads/test.txt')
            client.files.uploadFile(newFolder.id, 'test.txt', fileData, function(err, file) {
              if (err){
                console.log('err: ' + err);
              }
              else{
                console.log('file uploaded: ' + file);  
              }
            });
        });
    });
    });
