Box Connector

This node connects to Box. The resulting output port allows downstream nodes to access files, e.g. to read or write, or to perform other file system operations (browse/list files, copy, move, ...).

Path syntax: Paths for this connector are specified with a UNIX-like syntax such as /myfolder/myfile. An absolute path consists of:

  1. A leading slash ("/").
  2. Followed by the path to the file ("myfolder/myfile" in the above example).

Options

Settings

Authentication
Authenticate using Developer Token. How to create Developer Token
Working directory
Specify the working directory of the resulting file system connection, using the Path syntax explained above. The working directory must be specified as an absolute path. A working directory allows downstream nodes to access files/folders using relative paths, i.e. paths that do not have a leading slash. The default working directory is "/".

Advanced

Connection timeout (seconds)
Timeout in seconds to establish a connection, or 0 for an infinite timeout.
Read timeout (seconds)
