How to connect MASV with Box storage

Integrate MASV with your Box storage

Box offers a central platform for cloud storage, file sharing, syncing, e-signatures, and collaboration. Integrating MASV with Box makes it easy to send files to Box storage.

This page includes the following topics:

Overview

To integrate Box with MASV, you'll need to create a Custom Box Application. MASV uses the App Settings file (JSON format) to create the integration. MASV leverages the Box App to provide a secure storage directory that is separate from user data and can be easily shared with other collaborators.

Create a Box App

Create a private developer app on Box for MASV to use to transfer files. The app will have its own directory structure that is separate from user accounts or other applications. You can share access to any number of collaborators as you wish.

1. To create a new application, open the Box Developer Console.

2. Next, click Create New App.

3. Select Custom App and click Next.

4. Select OAuth 2.0 with JWT (Server Authentication) and click Next.

5. Provide a unique name (ie. MASV Portal Downloads).

6. On the App Settings page under General, you may manage your collaborators and submit the app for Admin approval. Even if you are the administrator for your account, you will need to click Submit for Authorization and then follow the instructions you will receive via email to approve the application.

7. After you have approved the app, proceed to the Configuration page.

8. Application Access should be set to Application and Application Scopes should include:

  • Read all files and folders stored in Box.

  • Read and write all files and folders stored in Box.

9. All other scopes are not needed and should be left unchecked

10. Advanced Features Perform Actions as Users and Generate User Access Tokens should be disabled as they are not needed.

11. Under Add and Manage Public Keys click Generate a Public/Private Keypair (note you may be required to enable two-factor authentication on your account to complete this step).

12. Download the provided JSON file and store it safely as this will be required to configure the Cloud Integration.

Note: if you lose this json file and need to re-upload it to MASV, you will need to repeat the process of generating a public/private keypair as Box does not store these credentials for you

13. Save your changes - you are now ready to configure the Cloud Integration.

That's it! After authentication, the service is connected with MASV. You can now:

Where do I find my files once they are in Box?

Once files are delivered into your Box account, they do not show up in the regular console view. You can then find your files here (in most cases): https://app.box.com/master/content which shows you your main account but any Box apps you have created, which is how MASV saves files into your Box account.
