Reg: Need how to get API reference for proper sync operation if using BOX drive with Box.com web account

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:
