File Id of a file on a given path (box windows sdk)

Question

How can i get a file id of the file from its path (e.g. https://dav.box.com/dav/abc.dox) using box windows SDK. Actually I have developed a VSTO add-in that open files directly from box.com through webdav server and I want to fetch file information from box.com when the file is opened in Microsoft Word. Can this be accomplished? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I do not think Box has direct support for this capability.

The only way I can think of accomplishing this would be to traverse each level of the directory tree matching the path names
