Sync Configuration Options

Example
{
    "integration": "box",
    "pipeline": "files",
    "configuration": {}
}
Box files sync does not require any additional configuration options. The sync will ingest all available files and folders from the user’s Box account.

​
Choosing Files and Folders

You can allow your user to select files from their Box account in your app with the Box File Picker provided by the Paragon SDK.

​
Showing the File Picker

Use the Paragon SDK in your frontend application to show the File Picker in your app. The SDK provides an ExternalFilePicker class to load Box’s JavaScript into your page and authenticate with your user’s connected Box account. 
let picker = new paragon.ExternalFilePicker("box", {
    onFileSelect: (files) => {
        // Handle file selection
    }
});

// Loads external dependencies and user's access token, and sets the folderId to the root folder
await picker.init({ folderId: "0" });

// Open the File Picker
picker.open();
You can configure the File Picker to listen for additional callbacks or to restrict allowed file types. Learn more about configuring File Picker options in the SDK Reference.
