Upload file

by
Published Oct 17, 2025

Uploads a small file to Box. For file sizes over 50MB we recommend using the Chunk Upload APIs. The `attributes` part of the body must come **before** the `file` part. Requests that do not follow this format when uploading the file will receive a HTTP `400` error with a `metadata_after_file_contents` error code.
