How We Help

For Financial Services and Healthcare & Allied Health businesses across Australia, the disconnect between Box and SharePoint is a daily frustration. Our custom integration bridges your file storage and file storage systems, ensuring files and folders flow seamlessly without manual intervention. On the technical side, Box uses a REST + Webhook API with OAuth authentication, and SharePoint authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.

Amplify Box Strengths

Box excels because business-grade security with granular permissions, watermarking, classification labels, and advanced threat detection for sensitive content. Connecting it to SharePoint ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Box + SharePoint Integration FAQ

We follow a structured testing process: unit tests for individual data mappings, end-to-end tests with sample data, and a staging period where we run the integration in parallel with your existing process. You review and approve the results before we switch to live. This approach minimises risk and ensures accuracy.

Our integrations include comprehensive error handling: automatic retries for transient failures (respecting API rate limits), error queuing for system outages, data validation before writes, and real-time alerts for issues that need human attention. We also provide a dashboard where you can monitor sync health and review error logs.

Our integrations include retry logic and error queuing. If SharePoint is temporarily down, changes are queued and replayed once the system recovers. You will receive alerts for any sync failures that need attention. No data is lost during outages.
