Box.com无人值守控制台应用程序

Question

I would like to write a synchronization job to move files out into my Box account. This is a nightly job that will run unattended (C# console app). The OAuth method appears to require user interaction.

Has anyone done this or have a sample?

Answer 1

I had a similar issue and had to search around for a while in order to find anything at all. Basically the answer seems to be that Box currently only offers the OAuth 2 option and provides no real way to fully automate the process. However I did find a solution here offered by Vishal Sharma that seems to work. The gist of it is that you do the manual login once while you're developing, get the code and refresh token, and then set up a cron job to get a new refresh token at most every 60 days before it expires to just keep that connection open. While not graceful, it does give you a fully automated solution until Box decides to come up with a better solution to save us all some time.
