Create an app through developer platform :
https://<your-account>.app.box.com/developers/console
Then later, get the service account email from the general settings :
[email protected]
Share the folders with this service account. And run the script as :
mkdir backup
python download.py <folder-id>
After downloading the files from Box you can insert into NextCloud through command line :
# invalid character problems
# Entry <> will not be accessible due to incompatible encoding
convmv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 -r --notest --nfc <folder>
# Scan for next cloud
cd /var/www/nextcloud
sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan <username>
