Why people use Box

Box for Enterprise Cloud Content Management

With this Connector, you just ask your AI client to find the file or update the permissions. You can tell your agent to 'find the latest budget draft and give the finance team viewer access.' It handles the navigation and the API calls, so you just get the result you need in a single sentence.
