I want to do realtime sync once we do any changes on Box drive or Box.com account in both directions. The Sync happens automatically but I want the reference API to manage the sync in realtime before I perform other development or operations on Drive or Box.com
Please suggest to achieve this and what API are avaiable in Box Drive for the sync operation.
Hi @lokesh.kumar, welcome to the forum!
We don’t have an API to trigger an immediate sync to the desktop clients.
Is that what you’re looking for?
Best regards
Hi @rbarbosa, we are looking to perform an implementation of an automation on BOX drive but before that we want to ensure that it completely sync with the BOX at a particular time so that it do not create any data discrepancy.
As you said we do have a direct API to trigger an immediate sync, so to achieve the use case, can we determine the sync status or any related information once it sync with BOX at a particular instance once is completely sync with BOX?
I was going through some Events API. Can it provide that information related to the task? And which API does Box drive using to sync with BOX?
Thank you!

Hi @lokesh.kumar ,
Perhaps the events stream can help you identify changes made in box.
Take a look at these for some ideas:
