04/23/2025, 11:12 PMHas anyone solved the mystery around uploading files to Box via Suitescript? I'm having to manually assemble the multipart/form-data and pass in the contents of a PDF file. While I can get the PDF file to generate in the Box folder, its contents are not being interpreted properly. Everything I've read so far leans towards accomplishing this outside of NetSuite. I'd rather do it from Suitescript, if possible.
