Integrations

Box

Connect Box to sync folders and files into Alloovium using OAuth 2.0.

Overview

The Box integration uses OAuth 2.0 to connect Alloovium to your Box account. Once connected, you select folders to sync, and Alloovium monitors them for new and updated files. Project documents, reports, and drawings in Box are indexed and become queryable from Alloovium.

Read-only access

Alloovium requests read-only access to Box. We never create, modify, or delete files or folders in your Box account. Read our data handling commitments →

What data we access

We read: files and folder structure from the folders you select. We only access files that your Box account has permission to view. We do not read Box Admin Console settings, billing, or account management data.

Setup

Connecting Box takes under a minute. Click Connect, sign in with Box, and select the folders to sync.

  1. 1

    Click Connect

    Go to Integrations → Box in Alloovium and click Connect. You will be redirected to Box to authorise access.

  2. 2

    Sign in with Box

    Sign in with your Box account. Review the permissions requested (read access to your files) and click Grant Access.

  3. 3

    Select folders to sync

    Choose which Box folders Alloovium should monitor. Subfolders are included automatically unless excluded.

  4. 4

    Initial sync

    Alloovium will ingest all files in your selected folders. Progress is visible in the integrations panel.

Permissions

We request: item_read (read files and folders), root_readwrite for folder browsing. We do not modify, delete, or write files to your Box account.

Troubleshooting

JWT app approval required

If your organisation uses a custom Box application, a Box admin may need to authorise it in Box Admin Console → Apps. Contact your IT administrator.

Folders not showing

Only folders your Box account has access to will appear. Shared folders owned by others may require you to have collaborator access.
