When a specific file is added to Box, save it to Google Drive as well

‍■Overview

Do you find it time-consuming to manually move files between Box and Google Drive or manage them in both storage services? Manual processes like these not only take time but can also lead to mistakes, such as files being stored in the wrong location. With this workflow, files added to a specific Box folder are automatically stored in Google Drive, helping you eliminate file-sharing challenges between Box and Google Drive and improve operational efficiency.

■Who Should Use This Template

• Anyone who uses both Box and Google Drive and wants to streamline file management
• Anyone who spends time manually transferring files and wants to focus on core tasks
• Anyone who wants to automate data synchronization and backup processes across multiple cloud storage services

■Benefits of Using This Template

• Reduce the time spent manually transferring files by automatically storing files in Google Drive as soon as they are added to Box
• Prevent human errors such as missed uploads and incorrect files, making it easier to maintain data consistency between Box and Google Drive

■How the Flowbot Works

1. First, connect Box and Google Drive to Yoom
2. Next, select Box as the trigger and set the target folder using the “When a file is uploaded to a folder” action
3. Then, configure branching in the operation to route subsequent processes based on specific conditions, such as the file type or file name
4. Next, configure Box’s “Download a file” action in the operation to download the file obtained by the trigger
5. Finally, configure Google Drive’s “Upload a file” action in the operation to store the downloaded file in the specified folder

* “Trigger”: An action that starts the flow. “Operation”: An action that processes data within the flow after the trigger runs.

■Customization Options

• With branching, you can set conditions such as the file type or specific text contained in the file name and control subsequent processes accordingly
• When uploading files to Google Drive, you can flexibly configure the workflow by not only specifying a fixed destination folder but also changing the file name using information obtained from Box, such as the file name

■Notes

• Connect both Box and Google Drive to Yoom.
• Branching is an operation available on the Mini plan and higher. On the Free plan, configured Flowbot operations will result in an error.
• Paid plans, including the Mini plan, come with a two-week free trial. During the free trial, you can use apps and features (operations) subject to plan restrictions.
