How can I add a second developer to a File Action in Box?

When I create a new App in Box with a file action, it automatically gets added to my box account and I have access to the file actions when I right-click on a file. I need another developer to have access to the same file action so we can develop and test it before we ask to put it live.

In the "Edit a Box Application" page I can add developers so that they can edit the application. I type their name into the box and save it, then they are able to get into the same screen and edit the details of the application. The problem is that when they right click on a file the file action is not presented as an option. When we look at the list of apps on their Box account our app in development is not there, which explains why they cannot see the file action.

How do we add our application to their account so that they can see the file action without having to set the application as publicly available?

They have to install the application onto their Box account. Have them go to https://cloud.app.box.com/services/ and they should be able to click the "+ Add" button to add the app to their Box account. That will let them have the UI components show up in their Box account.

Go to https:developers.box.com --> Click "My Box Apps" --> click "name of your app" --> copy the url from the browser--> tell your buddy to navigate to that URL.
