I'm looking for a way to mirror two folders in Box. Instead of copying every file to another folder, I'd like to "mirror" two folders so that when one is updated with a new file, the other folder is automatically updated with that same file. How would I go about doing this?

Thank you!

You can use Box's "Folder Sync" feature or a third-party integration like Zapier to automate the mirroring process. With Folder Sync, any updates made in one folder will automatically sync with the other.

You can use Box's "Folder Sync" feature to mirror two folders. This will automatically keep both folders up-to-date with new files and changes. Alternatively, you can use automation tools like Zapier to create workflows that sync files between folders in Box.

Can you share what you mean by the “Folder Sync” feature? Is this the same as “Box Sync”, the feature that is going to be sunset in December 2026?

I am looking for a long-term solution for this - I have two shared folders in Box (neither are on my desktop), and I would like for them to ‘sync’ or ‘mirror’ each other, where if a file is updated in one folder, it mirrors it in the other folder (rather than copying and pasting every time there is a change). Is this possible?
