I have created one developer Application for using box API. And able to access my box data using the API.
So can I use my application with other accounts also. for example I created a windows application for accessing my box data and it is using my box API key. what changes are required in my box API so that other user can use the windows application just by their box credentials and not by creating a Box app before using.
To access the user's files in Box through your application, the user would have to grant access to your application using our OAuth 2.0 flow. Here is the documentation for the Box API authentication types.
When a user grants access to an app, it gives permissions to read and write all files and folders. I think some users will not like this idea. Is there a way to specify the permissions to just grant to read/write/create within a specific folder and sub-folders, instead of the root folder? Technically, there is nothing to stop the app from accessing every single file in their Box account.
