Frequently asked questions

How do you connect Box to Couchdrop?

Box is connected as a Storage Integration in Couchdrop. Admins can create a new Storage connection from any page, and during setup can specify a particular folder in Box as the root and name how that folder will appear in Couchdrop’s virtual file system.

Can Couchdrop transfer Box Notes?

Yes, Couchdrop can transfer Box Notes files and doesn’t discriminate by file type. However, Box Notes are a proprietary file format, so they may need to be converted before they can be opened and used outside of a Box account.

Can Couchdrop access both Shared folders and personal user folders?

Yes, Couchdrop can access both Shared folders and personal user folders, depending on how you connect. When connecting as an individual user, Couchdrop can access the User’s personal folders and folders shared with that user.

When connecting “As Team Admin”, Couchdrop can access personal user folders from all users as well as Shared folders.

Is Couchdrop able to transfer large files into and out of Box?

Yes, Couchdrop can transfer large files into and out of Box and other cloud storage platforms. While by default Couchdrop supports a maximum file size of 20GB, this can be significantly increased if needed by contacting the Support team.

Note that while Couchdrop can transfer large files, the limits of the provider still apply, so if the platform is unable to accommodate a file because it is too large, the transfer will fail.
