Box dot supports some common formate like csv,txt,etc which contains text type data, and you'll be easily able to do that but when you try to upload some file (Blob type) then you need to some work around for that.

Try below code it'll help you to upload your file to box.com 
public static HTTPResponse uploadFile(Attachmnet file)
 {
  String boundary = '__boundary__xxx';
  String header = '--'+boundary+'\n';
     + 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="data"; filename="'+file.name
     +'"\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\n\n';
 
  String footer = '\n--'+boundary+'--';
   
  String body = EncodingUtil.base64Encode(file.Body); //encodes the blob into a base64 encoded String
   
  body = header + body + footer;
   
  HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
  req.setHeader('Content-Type','multipart/form-data; boundary='+boundary);
  req.setMethod('POST');
  req.setEndpoint('http://posttestserver.com/post.php?dir=what_a_wonderful_post');   //COOL site to test form uploads
  req.setBody(body);
  req.setTimeout(60000);
  req.setHeader('Content-Length',String.valueof(body.length()));
   
  Http http = new Http();
      return http.send(req);
 }

Look at the following link:

You can not send a file to server which is expecting a binary. So you need to encode the base64 in binary supported format. Above blog post is all about that.

            //Normal Text
            String bodyStr;
            bodyStr='Opportunity Name'+'|'+'Stage'+'|'+'Opportunity Id'+'\n';
            bodyStr+= opp.name+'|'+opp.StageName+'|'+opp.Id;
            Attachment att=new Attachment();
            att.Body=Blob.valueOf(bodyStr);
            System.debug( att.Body);
            //set file  ext
            att.Name= opp.Name+'_' +System.now().format('yyyy_MM_dd_hh_mm_ss') + '.txt';
            att.parentId=opp.id;
            HTTPResponse htt = uploadFile(att);
            System.debug('resp '+htt);
            System.debug('resp '+htt.getBody());
            //SYSTEm.debug('ATTACHMENTS IS '+att);
        }
        // insert opportunityAttach;
    }
    public static HTTPResponse uploadFile(Attachment file) {
        String boundary = '__boundary__xxx';
        String header = '--'+boundary+'\n';
        header += 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="data"; filename="'+file.name
            +'"\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\n\n';
        
        String footer = '\n--'+boundary+'--';
        
        String body = EncodingUtil.base64Encode(file.Body); //encodes the blob into a base64 encoded String
        
        body = header + body + footer;
        
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        req.setHeader('Content-Type','multipart/form-data; boundary='+boundary);
        req.setMethod('POST');
        req.setEndpoint('https://saas.docufree.com/dfwebservice/v3/files/capture/folder?targetId=3486');
        req.setBody(body);
        req.setTimeout(60000);
        Rg_FileUploadService obj = new Rg_FileUploadService();
        string accessToken = obj.genAccessToken();
        
        req.setHeader('Authorization','Bearer ' + accessToken);
        req.setHeader('Content-Length',String.valueof(body.length()));
        
        Http http = new Http();
        return http.send(req);
    }

can you please tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks,

An example of quality and absence of bugs pleases. I know not a bad mix available from the start of services for non-suspicious users who want everything immediately. This is a rather generous place to access the accessibility https://mr.bet/at/game/view/demo/yeti, without any hidden and impracticable requirements. It is worth using at least try.
