    After selecting the type, please switch to the OAuth2 setup.

    A. In case you are going to use ‘Server Authentication with Client Credentials’:

    • Prerequisites

      • A Custom Application using Client Credentials Grant authentication within the Box Developer Consol
      • Limagito File Mover BOX Create New App
      • Limagito File Mover Select Custom App
      • Limagito File Mover BOX Client Credentials Grant
      • 2FA enabled on your Box account in order to view/copy your client secret from the configuration tab
      • Limagito File Mover BOX 2-step verification
      • Ensure your application is authorized within the Box Admin Console
      • Limagito File Mover BOX Custom Apps Authorization

    So finally we can start:

    • Add ClientID and Client Secret

    Please remember when you change the setup after it was already authorized:
    Make sure to re-authorize the application in the enterprise’s Administrator Console after making any changes to a Server Authentication app.
