Box

What this connects

Document management to Box folders and their governance policies.

Supported workflows

• Storing documents under enterprise retention policy
• Controlled external sharing
• Compliance-oriented document handling

Data exchanged

• Files and metadata
• Folder structure
• Access permissions

Setup requirements

• A Box account with API access
• OAuth authorisation
• Folder structure agreed in advance

Permissions required

• Access to nominated folders

Security and privacy

• Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (TLS).
• Credentials and tokens are stored server-side and never exposed to the browser.
• Access can be revoked at any time from the provider's own account settings.

Known limitations

Stated plainly, because finding these out during implementation is worse than knowing them now.

• Box retention and governance policies override application-level settings.
