Integrate Box.com with Couchdrop

How it works

The Box connector allows you to integrate a Box cloud storage connection with Couchdrop and use folders in Box as a secure location for sending and receiving files. This connector acts as a virtual folder to directly access files within the storage account from within Couchdrop.

The Box connector is compatible with all file transfer methods and tools including Shared Links, Mailboxes, Upload Portals, and automations.

Once connected, a folder for the Box connection will be added to Couchdrop. From that folder, users can list objects in the connected directories, as well as upload, download, and delete files according to the access permissions you configure. This allows internal and external teams to access files via SFTP, FTP, or any other supported protocol while being scoped to access and actions that you set.

Couchdrop connects to Box cloud storage via Box’s API. Files are transferred through Couchdrop, but are not stored at rest on Couchdrop’s infrastructure.

You can make connections to different roots or accounts by creating separate connections.

Capabilities

  • Use Box directories as a source or destination for secure file transfers
  • List, Create, Modify, and Delete files and folders in Box from Couchdrop
  • Access Box data via FTP, SFTP, FTPS, or through the Couchdrop interface
  • Provide access to Box without provisioning a Box user
  • Apply granular folder permissions for different users
  • Automate file transfers and file processing with Box cloud storage

Getting started

  1. Create a new storage connection for Box and provide a name for how the folder will appear in Couchdrop, e.g., Box Legal Files
  2. Authorize the connection via OAuth.
  3. Choose a folder within Box to act as the root (Optional)
  4. Add users to access the Box folder or configure transfers to/from the folder
