Why teams connect Box and SingleStore

Keep SingleStore and Box in step: a row in SingleStore 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 SingleStore 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 Indexes and Shard Keys, Databases, Tables (rowstore and columnstore), Views in SingleStore with Groups, Tasks, Events, Files 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 Keep reference data consistent between SingleStore and application databases.
  • 02 Feed synced operational data into applications that need low-latency responses over fresh data.
  • 03 Mirror Metadata template instances on Files into database columns so contracts and assets are searchable and reportable alongside other business data.
  • 04 Provision and deprovision Users, Groups, and Collaborations from an HR system or IdP so Box access follows onboarding and offboarding.

Common sync patterns

File metadata kept in step

Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in SingleStore 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 SingleStore 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.

A landing zone for incoming files

Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Box become rows in SingleStore as they land, so a database-driven process can pick them up without polling the storage system's API.

What you can sync between Box and SingleStore

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 SingleStore objects How this pairing syncs
Groups Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP. Indexes and Shard Keys Determine data distribution and lookup speed for sync match keys. Groups is specific to Box and Indexes and Shard Keys to SingleStore — 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. Databases The connection target containing the tables a sync addresses. Tasks is specific to Box and Databases to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Tables (rowstore and columnstore) Primary read/write target; storage type affects whether a table suits point lookups or scans. Events is specific to Box and Tables (rowstore and columnstore) to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Files is specific to Box and Views to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Reference Tables Small tables replicated to every node, often used for dimension data in syncs. Folders is specific to Box and Reference Tables to SingleStore — 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. Pipelines Native ingestion jobs from Kafka or object storage that coexist with external syncs. Metadata is specific to Box and Pipelines to SingleStore — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Box and SingleStore

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 SingleStore 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 applied to SingleStore as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SingleStore Box Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SingleStore for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or watermark columns.

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.
  • SingleStore: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by workspace or cluster size.

How the Box and SingleStore 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
