Connecting to Box

Connecting to Box

Box is a Secure Cloud Storage Platform used to store your data files. It allows you to easily share these files like you would with other cloud file storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive for Business.

Authenticating a connection to Box enables communication between the two platforms. This must be successfully added before Form Connectors can push files or Data Source Connectors can pull data from files located in your Box account. 

Adding

You can add connections for connectors in the Connections area of the platform. Navigate the side menu to Data Hub > Connections.

On the Connections page:

  • Click the ADD CONNECTION button on the top right to bring up a list of connections.
  • Click on the Box option to add the connection.

Authenticating

After adding a connection, fill in the required properties and save.

Click the Authorize button and authenticate with your Box account. When asked to accept permissions, you must allow all permissions. Once you are successfully authenticated with Box, your connection will be ready to use.
