 | Sometimes, even though the file or folder exists in the Box account, this action might return a file or folder not found message on execution. In that case, you might have to upload a file to the folder to force indexing. Usually, newly added or changed files and folders are indexed and available via Box search in less than 10 minutes. However, the current service load determines the indexing time and it may take more than 10 minutes in some cases. For more information, see the Box API Reference. |
