Why teams connect Box and RavenDB
Keep RavenDB and Box in step: a row in RavenDB for every file in Box, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.
A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in RavenDB says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Box holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.
Stacksync syncs Counters, Time series, Data subscriptions, Documents in RavenDB with Events, Files, Folders, Metadata in Box bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.
Common use cases
- 01 Sync operational documents such as orders and profiles between RavenDB and a CRM so business teams see application data.
- 02 Mirror reference data from relational systems into RavenDB collections that serve application reads.
- 03 Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.
- 04 Stream enterprise Events (admin events) into a warehouse for audit, DLP, and access-review reporting.
Common sync patterns
A queryable index of the file store
Every file or object in Box shows up as a row in RavenDB, with its name, folder or key, size, type, and modified date as columns, so the contents of the store can be listed, filtered, and joined like any other table.
File metadata kept in step
Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in RavenDB write back to the matching file's metadata in Box, and metadata changed in Box updates the row, so the two never disagree about a file.
Records that point at documents
Where a record in RavenDB references a file in Box, such as a contract, an image, an export, or an upload, the reference, path, and status stay consistent as files are renamed, moved, or replaced, so stored links keep resolving.
What you can sync between Box and RavenDB
Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.
| Box objects | RavenDB objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Revisions Historical versions of documents, useful for audit-oriented replication | Folders is specific to Box and Revisions to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Metadata Structured key-value instances attached to files and folders via metadata templates; synced two-way with database columns for classification and search. | Counters Numeric values attached to documents that change independently of the document body | Metadata is specific to Box and Counters to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| 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. | Time series Timestamped measurements stored per document, synced for metrics analysis | Collaborations is specific to Box and Time series to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users Managed and app users in the enterprise; provisioned, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Box access aligned with an HR or identity source. | Data subscriptions Server-side change feeds that push matching documents to consumers | Users is specific to Box and Data subscriptions to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Groups Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP. | Documents JSON records, the primary unit read and written during sync | Groups is specific to Box and Documents to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tasks Review or approval assignments on a file with due dates and states; read for workflow reporting or written to start approvals. | Collections Groupings of documents by type, mapped to tables in relational targets | Tasks is specific to Box and Collections to RavenDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Box and RavenDB
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
Box RavenDB Sub-second propagation
DetectionBox notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to RavenDB through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
RavenDB Box Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in RavenDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Box through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Box: 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.
- RavenDB: Throughput bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.

How the Box and RavenDB connectors work
Box
- Integration surface
- 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

FAQ
Box and RavenDB integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Box and RavenDB: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Box's Folders and Metadata), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Box and RavenDB connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Box–RavenDB integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Box and RavenDB. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Box: 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. On RavenDB: Data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the RavenDB side: Counters, Time series, Data subscriptions, Documents, plus custom fields where RavenDB exposes them. On the Box side: Events, Files, Folders, Metadata. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
