You can specify Box targets in
synchronization
tasks, mappings, and
mapping
to download Box objects.
You can download Box files or folders based on the ID that you specify in a file that you must name
download.csv
. When you specify a file ID, the Secure Agent downloads the specified file. When you specify a folder ID, the Secure Agent downloads all the objects in the folder.

download.csv
file:

By default, the Secure Agent downloads all the Box objects to the root directory in the Secure Agent machine. However, to download the files to a specific directory, you can specify a path in the
Target File Path
field when you create the Box connection. Verify that you specify a directory that is local to the machine that hosts the Secure Agent.
To download objects from Box, you need to perform the following tasks:
  1. Create a
    download.csv
    file with the
    File_or_Folder_ID
    field and values.
  2. Save the
    download.csv
    file to a local directory on the machine that hosts the Secure Agent.
  3. Create a flat file connection to the location of the
    download.csv
    file.
  4. In the
    synchronization
    task or mapping you want to create to download Box objects, perform the following tasks:
    1. Specify the flat file connection as the source connection and
      download.csv
      as the source object.
    2. Specify a Box connection as the target connection and select
      download
      as the target object.
    3. Select
      Insert
      as the target task operation.
    4. Map the
      File_or_Folder_ID
      field in the source object with the
      File_or_Folder_ID
      field in the target object.
