Restore content from Box Archive

This guide describes how to restore content that you archived by mistake.

Restore file or folder from archive

Use the PUT /files/:id API endpoint to restore a file from an archive, or the PUT /folders/:id endpoint to restore a folder from an archive. The id parameter is the ID of the file/folder you want to restore from an archive. To specify the destination, use the parent.id parameter in the request body. This is the ID of a folder (can be owned by any user) where you want to restore the file/folder.

To restore a file/folder to user's root folder, use 0 as the parent.id value. Additionally, pass the ID of the user in the parent.user_id parameter in the request body.
