Box is a cloud storage solution and is used to manage, share, and collaborate on digital files. Box can store most file types and enables access for individuals anywhere across multiple platforms
By integrating your Bynder portal and Box account, you are able to seamlessly connect assets between the two by automatically moving assets in your Box account to Bynder, without downloading from Box and re-uploading to Bynder. Non-Bynder users will now be able add assets to a folder in Box to have them automatically uploaded to your DAM.

If you would like to connect more than one Box account, you will need to configure a new Box workflow for each account you would like to set up.
After configuration, all selected assets in your Box account will upload to your portal’s waiting room after about 2 hours. Once approved, the assets will appear in your Asset Bank. Moving forward, any assets added or moved to the selected folder (or subfolders) in the configured Box account will automatically be uploaded to the waiting room after about 2 hours.Learn more about the waiting room here.
