Description of the Issue

I am interested in using Box CLI but only restricting access to allow uploads to a single folder on my Box drive in terminal on Linux. Is this possible? It seems that I can only allow entire write access or not.

Hi @j-signorelli, to restrict permission to just one folder you can use tokens:exchange command with --folder-id flag, e.g: box tokens:exchange item_upload --folder-id=0. I will return a downscoped token to a specified folder. Please see documentation of this command: https://github.com/box/boxcli/blob/main/docs/tokens.md#box-tokensexchange-scope Hope this helps, @lukaszsocha2
