01What syncs
Your files,
kept in step.
- One folder in your Box account mirrored against your NextOS VFS
- Changes via Box's own event/changes feed rather than a full re-list every pass
- Large files automatically via a chunked upload session above a 50 MB threshold
02How the connection works

NextOS creates its sync folder and starts syncing on the schedule in Settings
04Limits, honestly
What it
won't do.

- Files above 50 MB automatically switch to chunked, resumable upload sessions
- Access follows whatever Box permissions the connecting account already has
05FAQ
Common
questions.
Is Box sync suitable for a company Box account, not just personal?
Yes - it uses the standard Box API and OAuth, so it works the same against a managed enterprise account as a personal one, subject to whatever your Box admin allows.
What happens with very large files?
Anything over 50 MB automatically uses Box's chunked upload session instead of one request - handled without any action from you.
Does it need a Box app installed?
No - the connection is API-based OAuth, no desktop client required.
