Can you use Google Apps Script with Google Sheets in Box?

Question

I recently used the Box integration in Google Drive to migrate a few Google Sheets over to Box. These Sheets included buttons, that when pressed, ran functions I had written in Google Apps Script. In Box, the buttons had no scripts attached to them, nor was I able to access my scripts through the Extensions > Apps Script menu.

I created a new Google Sheet in Box, and I had the same issue—no Extensions menu for me to access the Apps Scripts by.

Is Google Apps Script something that’s enabled in Box? Or should I look into alternatives for augmenting my spreadsheet with automations?
