To be clear though, unless Box does actually offer a finer-tuned 'write to specific dir' access control, that's not nosey Google's fault.

Yeh that's unfortuante but it is normal for box's API. This isn't Google being overly grabby, its the only scope available to third party read and writing to box. The API scope doesn't have any knowledge of individual files or applications. https://developer.box.com/docs/scopes https://developer.box.com/docs/scopes Conversely, Google Drive does have scopes available for Application specific folder read/write https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/appdata https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/appdata So box needs to up its game.
