What Stacksync syncs in Box.

These objects sync between Box and any connected system, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution. Custom fields are picked up from the live schema where Box exposes them.

Files
Core content object with versions, name, size, and metadata; synced two-way so files and their attributes move between Box and a database or another store.
Folders
Hierarchical containers whose tree, names, and parent moves are mirrored so a target system reflects Box's structure; the account root is always folder ID 0.
Metadata
Structured key-value instances attached to files and folders via metadata templates; synced two-way with database columns for classification and search.
Collaborations
Access grants linking a user or group to a file or folder with a role such as viewer, editor, or co-owner; written to manage sharing programmatically.
Users
Managed and app users in the enterprise; provisioned, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Box access aligned with an HR or identity source.
Groups
Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP.
Tasks
Review or approval assignments on a file with due dates and states; read for workflow reporting or written to start approvals.
Events
Enterprise admin event stream, an audit log of uploads, deletes, logins, and shares across the account; read-only, consumed for reporting or change feeds.
API surface

How Stacksync connects to Box.

The connector runs on Box's native API. Stacksync manages authentication, rate limits, retries, and schema changes so your team does not maintain integration code.

Connection
REST API (api.box.com/2.0), plus the Events API and V2 Webhooks
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for user-delegated access, or server-to-server auth via JWT (RSA keypair) or Client Credentials Grant (CCG) using a Box app; short-lived developer tokens for testing
Change detection
V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED; the Events API (user stream via long-poll by stream_position, or enterprise/admin events) provides a near-real-time change feed
Rate limits
Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.

Use cases

What teams run on the Box connector.

Box is the cloud content-management system of record for regulated mid-market and enterprise organizations, owned by IT and content or records administrators. Contracts, design assets, financial documents, and collaboration files live there, governed by folder hierarchies, metadata templates, retention policies, and per-object collaborations. Because it holds the authoritative copy of unstructured content and its access grants, other systems push files in and read metadata and audit events out.

  • IT administrators
  • Box enterprise admins
  • Security and compliance teams
  • Records / content managers
  • Data engineering

  1. Two-way sync of Files and Folders between Box and an operational database so applications track document status without calling the Box API directly.

  2. Mirror Metadata template instances on Files into database columns so contracts and assets are searchable and reportable alongside other business data.

  3. Provision and deprovision Users, Groups, and Collaborations from an HR system or IdP so Box access follows onboarding and offboarding.

  4. Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.

  5. Stream enterprise Events (admin events) into a warehouse for audit, DLP, and access-review reporting.

  6. Two-way sync Files and their Metadata instances between Box and Postgres so an internal app tracks document state in SQL while users keep working in Box, and status changes flow back onto the Box record.

FAQ

Box connector FAQ

What can I sync with the Box connector?

Box's core objects — Files, Folders, Metadata, Collaborations and custom fields — can sync with any of 302 other systems. Every integration is real-time and bidirectional, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution.

How does Stacksync connect to Box?

Via REST API (api.box.com/2.0), plus the Events API and V2 Webhooks, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 for user-delegated access, or server-to-server auth via JWT (RSA keypair) or Client Credentials Grant (CCG) using a Box app; short-lived developer tokens for testing. Changes are detected as follows — v2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED; the Events API (user stream via long-poll by stream_position, or enterprise/admin events) provides a near-real-time change feed. Stacksync manages rate limits, retries, and schema changes automatically.

Is the Box connector two-way?

Yes. Changes made in Box propagate to the connected system and vice versa, in milliseconds. One-way flows are also supported when a direction should stay read-only.

How long does a Box integration take to set up?

Most Box integrations go live in minutes: authenticate Box and the other system, pick objects and fields, and enable the sync. No code and no infrastructure to manage.

Is Box data secure in transit?

Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA compliant. Box data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means records are not retained after a sync operation.
