Box Platform
Extend Box with APIs and developer tools
Leading organizations develop with Box
Securely connect your apps
Embed Box into any app, and empower your teams to work with anyone on a single, secure content platform. Whether you're onboarding a new supplier with SAP, finalizing a sales contract with Salesforce, or sharing financial data with a business partner, Box Platform streamlines how teams share, access, and collaborate on content across your business apps.
Take control of your content
Box APIs enable you to connect to other systems and centralize content, metadata, and policies in the Content Cloud. Plus, you can run scripts to automate how content is migrated to the cloud, folders are managed, users are provisioned, and policies are applied. With Box Platform, you reduce cost and improve security across the board.
Build content apps faster
Building content apps can be hard. Box Platform makes it easy. Our developer tools, first-party SDKs, and integrated developer docs let you quickly build and deploy content apps in days, not weeks. Thanks to APIs, Box developers can focus on building great apps while Box takes care of the rest.
