Upload binary data using box api

Question

Is it possible to upload binary content using the Box API? Is it possible to upload a file from a remote server by sending an HTTP URL to the Box API?

Answer 1

I think you're asking if you can upload a binary file, like a zip file, .exe file, or a jpg/gif/mp3 file.

Of course you can. What good would a file-sharing service be if you couldn't?

As for your 2nd question, can you upload from a remote server. Generally no.
