Latenode

Sync Box files to Google Drive with automated backups

This template watches a Box folder for new files, downloads each file, and uploads a copy to the Google Drive folder you choose.

Use it to keep a Drive backup of the Box folder you already work in. Connect Box and Google Drive, then point the trigger at the Box folder and the upload at the Drive folder.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
