This guide will show how to configure Box as a source configuration
For Box this is defined by the following requirements:
- Creating a Box Application for a Client ID and Client Secret Key
- Box Application Source Steps
- Migrating to Google Workspace Section
- Migrating to Microsoft 0365 OneDrive/SharePoint Section

Configure Source Platform - Box (Hosted)
If using CloudM Migrate Hosted, follow the below steps. For Self-Hosted, see the steps below.
CloudM Migrate Configuration
Choose Box as the migration source and enter the following Box settings into CloudM Migrate,
- Admin Email - The email address of an admin account within your box environment.
- Test User Name - The email of a non-admin account within your box environment.
- Authorisation Code - Clicking the 'Grant Access to Box' will redirect you to a Box.com page where you can manually authorise CloudM Migrate. Upon doing so you will be taken back to CloudM Migrate and the authorisation code will be populated automatically.
Click Next, and CloudM Migrate will perform a connection test to verify that the details you have entered are correct. If this fails, you may have entered something incorrectly.
