The following configuration steps must be performed by a user with an Administrator role in NetSuite and an Owner or Co-Owner role in the Box account.

Box Configuration

The configuration steps below will be performed from within your Box account:

Folder Configuration

1. Create a folder in Box where the files uploaded from eXtendFiles will be stored.

Note: Make sure that the user account and/or folder do not have any storage quotas or limits applied, as this may restrict your ability to upload files when the quota is reached.


2. Take note of the folder ID for the folder you created. To find the folder ID in your Box account, simply navigate to the folder and copy the ID from the address bar.

3. Example: https://app.box.com/folder/218984466711

The bolded section is the folder ID for the example folder eXtendFiles.
