Restore folder

Restores a folder that has been moved to the trash.

An optional new parent ID can be provided to restore the folder to in case the original folder has been deleted.

During this operation, part of the file tree will be locked, mainly the source folder and all of its descendants, as well as the destination folder.

For the duration of the operation, no other move, copy, delete, or restore operation can performed on any of the locked folders.

This operation is performed by calling function restore_folder_from_trash.

See the endpoint docs at API Reference.

client.trashed_folders.restore_folder_from_trash(folder.id)

Arguments

  • folder_id str
    • The unique identifier that represent a folder. The ID for any folder can be determined by visiting this folder in the web application and copying the ID from the URL. For example, for the URL https://*.app.box.com/folder/123 the folder_id is 123. The root folder of a Box account is always represented by the ID 0. Example: "12345"
  • name Optional[str]
    • An optional new name for the folder.
  • parent Optional[RestoreFolderFromTrashParent]
  • fields Optional[List[str]]
    • A comma-separated list of attributes to include in the response. This can be used to request fields that are not normally returned in a standard response. Be aware that specifying this parameter will have the effect that none of the standard fields are returned in the response unless explicitly specified, instead only fields for the mini representation are returned, additional to the fields requested.
  • extra_headers Optional[Dict[str, Optional[str]]]
    • Extra headers that will be included in the HTTP request.
