1-You can create Data.dat file in notepad and save it as Data.dat in bin/Debug in Your Project folder
2-and pass the token generated from https://box-token-generator.herokuapp.com/
in ACCESS_TOKEN|REFRESH_TOKEN format in command line argument

FindBoxFolderId breaks when a parent folder is the same name as a sub folder.
e.g. c:\my path\my path\my path

FindBoxFolderid only returns the first ID from box.com
/my path/
and not the sub folders.
