These plugins allow you to integrate Box storage in your Bubble app. Box is a Simple, Secure File Sharing and Collaboration From Anywhere. You can create folders, upload files & much more
Hi @levon, I need a service for an app that will have 2 users collaborating and uploading large files and about 1 TB storage space. Will I only need the first plugin for this and will it seem like the files are in the app itself after I hook my Box account up or does it still require users to log in with their app user account and Box account?
Also is the file upload limit increased from default?
Hey Kris,
the service version would allow to use only your (app owner) box account for file storage while the oauth version allows authenticating Box users and accessing their Box files.
so if you want 2 users to collaborate using their own box accounts then you’d still need oauth version. If you are going to use only your account, then service account should be enough
Bubble’s 50MB limit doesn’t apply to this plugin.
hope this helps
thanks
Hi Levon, is there any file size limit to the single user box plugin? It seems box itself has a 50mb limit on direct uploads. Does this plugin make use of chunked uploads? https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/
As per the fact, our plugin uses Box.com APIs, the downloading/uploading restrictions, that the Box.com sets under the subscription model, will apply to the plugin.
I’m afraid, it does not support the chunked uploads.
I hope this info will be useful for you

To check changes, please upgrade your plugin to the latest version (Version 1.5.0 for the App Storage (Service) and Version 1.8.0 for Storage User (Oauth)) and give it a try.
@ZeroqodeSupport, does the “delete file” action actually delete the file on Box.com or delete the thing in the Bubble database? Bubble’s plugin doesn’t delete files on the Box.com account, even if the “uploaded file” is deleted, leaving a bunch of rogue files in the Box.com account. If your plugin actually deletes files on Box.com, that alone would make this worth it to purchase.
I can confirm that the “Delete File” action in the Box plugin works within your Box.com account. When you use this action, it will delete files from your Box.com account, not from your Bubble application.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to ask.
@ZeroqodeSupport is it possible to use the “delete file” action without using ZQ’s plugin to upload the file? So let’s say I uploaded a file to Box.com with Bubble’s uploader before installing your plugin. Is it possible to delete that file using your plugin?
Can you please provide instructions? I’ve already purchased the plugin, but I honestly can’t make sense of it. Bubble’s plugin is much simpler for uploads, but they don’t have a delete function. If there’s a way I can use Bubble’s plugin for uploads and yours for deleting, that would be great. Detailed instructions for deleting files using the ZQ plugin that weren’t initially uploaded via the ZQ plugin would be greatly appreciated!
If you have the file’s ID that you want to delete, you can simply insert it into the action, and it will successfully delete the file. It doesn’t matter whether you uploaded the file through our plugin or directly on Box.com.
I don’t really understand how to enter information in the yellow underlined fields in the attached image.
I tried various dynamic elements, but I still get an HTTP 400 error.
Could you please explain in detail how to use these two fields?
Thank you for reaching out, and apologies for the delay in responding over the weekend.
Regarding your question, to use the action to delete file you need to use the file ID you wish to remove along with a hash number in the mentioned fields. Additionally, please ensure that the Authorization header field is set correctly. It should include the text "Bearer " followed by the access token.
Regarding your question, you can display images by using one of the data calls or actions available in the plugin, such as “Get embed link” to retrieve a direct link to the image, or “Get thumbnail” to generate a smaller representation.
