This automation template allows users to continuously monitor a Box folder for new file uploads, and automatically create copies of those files in a designated Google Drive folder.
This streamlines file backups and synchronization between these two popular cloud storage platforms, saving users time and ensuring important files are securely backed up. The template is designed for individuals and teams who rely on both Box and Google Drive to store and share files, providing a hands-off way to keep content synchronized across these systems.
Latenode bills workflow runs in credits: 1 credit = 30 seconds of processing. Minimum charge per run depends on your plan. 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.
