Box.com is a cloud-based content management platform that enables you to store, share, and collaborate on files.

Within Teamwork, you can enable the Box.com integration on individual projects on your site once you have it enabled in your site settings.



Your files in your Box.com account will be available to link into the Files area, or to attach to a task, comment, or message in the project.

You can choose a different folder from your Box.com account to connect to each of your projects.

Note: Only site administrators in the owner company can enable Box.com at project level.
