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.

Note
If you would like to connect more than one Box folder, 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 Asset Bank after about 2 hours. Moving forward, any assets added or moved to the selected folder (or subfolders) in the configured Box account will automatically be uploaded to the DAM after about 2 hours.
If you delete an asset from your Box account, it will not automatically be reuploaded to your Bynder DAM. If you delete a Box asset from your Bynder DAM it will remain in your Box account.
