You can view our Integrations page for more details on available data, features, and benefits of the Box connector.
API usage
- Box API: Retrieve Box resources such as folders and files
Rate limits, pagination, and token refresh are handled automatically.
Sync & freshness model
- Initial Sync: Runs once when the connector is added.
- Incremental Updates: Every 5 minutes by default.
Setting up the connector
- From your GoSearch dashboard, navigate to Manage connectors in the left-hand menu.
- Click the tab that says Workspace connectors, click Add connector, and find the Box workspace connector.
- Click Connect, review the necessary permissions, and click Connect to Box.
- Sign in to Box if prompted.
- Click Grant Access to Box to grant permission for GoSearch to access Box.
- Optionally, name your connection.
- Remember, you can create multiple connections for the same application to be used with different User Groups if desired, so be descriptive when naming your connection.
- Then select whether to include all historical data or start from a specific date.
- Click Next: Select groups and select the user groups that you want to have access to that Connection and click Done
- Lastly, once synced, run a test query in GoSearch to ensure that the data in the Box workspace connector is available for you and your team members.
Access permissions
GoSearch connectors follow the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP), ensuring that only data all users have access to in the source application is pulled in via workspace connectors.
Private or restricted data is inaccessible through the Box workspace connector. Workspace connectors can be further limited by assigning access to specific User Groups, so only the right teams see the appropriate resources within GoSearch.
