Carry a new collaboration into Drive
A new Box folder collaborator can signal that someone needs access to a related Drive file too.
Trigger
New Folder Collaboration Created
Triggers when a new collaboration is created on a specific folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new collaborations are detected.
Action
Add file sharing preference
Modifies sharing permissions for an existing google drive file, granting a specified role to a user, group, domain, or 'anyone'.
Why this helps
Inviting someone in Box does not automatically give them access to related Drive materials.
- Close a common access follow-up gap
- Reduce repeated permission administration
- Help collaborators reach related working files
