Folks Is anyone able to connect to box storage? I really need to get this going because my app requires file uploads of up to 500 mb and have been trying this for last two days. I seem to be following the steps correctly but keep getting this error. “Error connecting to Box: 400 Bad Request {“err…

That’s a pretty large file size to begin with :slight_smile: If you have an app that’s consistently using that much storage on Box in a given upload, that may be beyond what Bubble supports for your current plan?

We put together a proof of concept of uploading a file directly to S3, bypassing Bubble’s infrastructure by using an HTML element. You’ll still be limited by S3’s upload size limit, but it’s fairly generous. It took a developer (not me) about an hour to do.

Hey thanks @dan1 Yeah that is pretty big indeed, but I was utilising Box plugin and that sure does bypasses the inherent limitation of 50MB. But I am pretty sure now that it has something to do with the encoding of the JWT as it should be Base64Url encoded. Here is what I found on stackoverflow. …

Hey thanks @potentialthings I have explored that option and it seems that’s the way to go. Do you know any developer on here? I would rather pay a developer to develop a plugin for uploading to personal S3, which everyone can use for free. If any developers reading this, PM me please. Regards Ze…

@zeb just to clarify, have you been able to successfully upload smaller files previously or never with success?

None… to box storage to be honest, have tried all kind of file. I am not pretty sure it has something to do with the authentication with the JWT. However, if I switch to storage to the default bubble storage, it works (as it should).

Hi @zeb , I got your message regarding this, and it IS quite the bear. I tried getting this to work for an app, and there are just so many parts to it, that I actually wound up using Box’s embed widget: [image] Archived - Box Embed Overview And FAQs Note: Old Box Experience This page refe…

Thanks @romanmg Gaby I agree, it is quite a bear, been scratching my head for last three days now :grin:. Maybe @emmanuel can have a look. Thanks for the link again, will have a look at it and give it a go. Regards Zeb

Take it from me dude, give up on box… ive gone down every avenue except breakfast with bill gates. Even if you do find a way to open a dialog between your bubble app and your box account or box internal app you will then hit the road block of bubbles upload elements limiting your file size anyway… i…

@jarrad Thanks Man. My use case is exactly like yours, in my app, the end users will CRUD large sized files uploaded through their account credentials. Dynamic control is a must.
