**Note**: [GravityExport Lite](https://www.gravitykit.com/products/gravityexport-lite/) does not support Box export. This feature is only available in [the full version of GravityExport](https://www.gravitykit.com/products/gravityexport/).

GravityExport connects to Box with a secure OAuth link, so you never paste an API key. One Box account is shared by every Save feed on the site: connect it once, then choose Box as the storage destination on any feed. Connecting requires an active GravityKit license that covers GravityExport.

## Connect your Box account

In your WordPress admin, go to **GravityKit**, then **Settings**, and open the **GravityExport** tab. In the **Cloud Storage** section, click **Connect to Box**. Box then asks you to grant GravityExport access to your account; approve it, and you are returned to WordPress with the account connected.

## Send a Save feed to Box

Open the Save feed you want to deliver to Box (or create one), and choose **Box** as the storage destination. The feed then shows a **Path** field.

Until an account is connected, the Box card reads *Configure Box under GravityKit Settings*. Connect the account first and the card becomes selectable

## What to put in the Path field

**Path** is a folder path inside the connected Box account, written with forward slashes and starting at the account root. It defaults to `/GravityExport`. Folders are created automatically if they do not already exist, so you can name a folder that is not there yet and GravityExport will make it on the first run.

It is not a path on your web server, and it is not a Box shared link. `/Exports/Registrations` writes into the *Registrations* folder inside *Exports* at the root of the account you connected.

## Including file uploads

When a Save feed is set to a single entry and its destination is Box, you can turn on **Copy File Uploads** to save each entry's uploaded files alongside the export. See [How to configure GravityExport to save File Upload fields](https://www.gravitykit.com/docs/gravityexport/how-to-configure-gravityexport-to-save-file-upload-fields/).

## Disconnecting, and staying connected

You can remove the connection at any time by clicking **Disconnect** on the Box row in the GravityExport settings. While you're there, consider enabling **Monitor connections**: it checks your cloud connections about every twelve hours and shows a dashboard notice if Box stops accepting the connection, so you find out before scheduled exports quietly stop. If that happens, reconnect Box on the same screen.
