You can upload Box files or folders based on the path that you specify in a file that you must name

By default, the Secure Agent uploads the files to the root directory on the Secure Agent machine. To upload the files to a specific directory, you can specify the folder ID in the
Box File or Folder ID
field when you create the Box connection. If you specify a file ID in the Box connection, the Secure Agent inserts the uploaded data in to the specified file.
To upload objects to Box, you need to perform the following tasks:
Create a
upload

File_or_Folder_Path
field and values.
Save the
upload.csv
file to a local directory on the machine that hosts the Secure Agent.
