Can you provide some images or even export your workow to us?
Box Input tool - you'll need to change the XML - it's unlike the normal folder browse you would normally use for the standard Input data tool.
So this means you'll need to use text-box tool and the action tool to change specific parts of the strings to make it more interface friendly and making it usable.

What I want to do is select a file using Dropdown interface tool and connect it to box input tool. I have a list of selection in my dropdown and I want my box to automatically find that folder and select the file inside it and display it on the interface.

What you're doing is not really updating anything. You should connect it like this:
Notice, there's another tool in between them. That's called the Action tool and you'll need to connect it to the "lightning" symbol of the tool for it to change via interface.
Now, I am not a Box expert, and I do not know how you'll login to Box (either via browser or secret keys), you'll need to update the action tool and configure it like so:
Presumably, you just want to update the file used from Box right? Now, once you set the action tool up, you'll need to setup what's available for selection in the drop down tool you used.
In this case, you can write the file names out manually or provide a fixed list using a YXDB file with NAME && VALUE columns only.
Hope this helps.
