Make Box download_file function part of a utils script?

[aliciacanipe]

Describe the bug / feature

We have to go through and add the download_file function to all the notebooks in order to download the data from Box.

Possible Solution

Should we drop download_file in a utils script that can just be imported? As we make these notebooks, I'm sure there will be other things that fall into such a script.

Not a bad idea. I was wondering though if people were going to download nircam_jdox and then use it as a package, or if they are just going to grab the notebook they are interested in and run it in whatever environment they have.

I have the download details ready to go in a few other notbeooks. I got tired of clicking in Box late last night though before I was able to finish.

Hm, good point. I didn't consider that. I was just trying to think of a way to reduce the amount of work you had to do to add your function to all the notebooks.

Copying over one function isn't bad. Creating the links themselves is where the real work is.
