Hi, new to Box.  Looking to create a Google Drive folder that syncs to my Box folder.  I downloaded the Box app from Google Workspace Marketplace but don't see the app anywhere on any of my Google stuff.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.

    Hi Alex, 

    Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

    There s currently no option to sync a folder in your Google Drive to Box and vice versa, you may however create, open, and edit Google documents right from Box. Furthermore, please take note of the following in order for you to use the integration:

    For Enterprise Users, the Box Admin must turn on the integration for the enterprise. If Box for Google Workspace has been enabled in your organization, you can begin using it right away.

    For non-enterprise individual accounts, you must turn on the integration in your Box account settings. 

    To learn more about this integration, please take a look at this article: 

    Thanks for reaching out and if you have any questions, please let us know!

    Regards,

    You can use a third party backup / Sync program to synchronize Box and Google Drive.

    I use FreefileSync (Free and open source) for this purpose. It syncs / mirrors (in my case). Works perfectly.
