Box ACTION

Upload a File

Uploads a file (max 50MB — Box's limit for direct uploads) to a Box folder. The file name must be unique within the parent folder (case-insensitive). Provide either a file URL or a path to a file in the /tmp directory. Use Upload File Version to update an existing file's content instead. See the documentation.

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Box account once, then configure and run Upload a File from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "box-upload-file",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    box: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    file: "File Path or URL",
    createdAt: "Created At",
  },
})

console.log(result)
