Files & Storage
What the Box connector can do
Box stores and governs files for teams, with classification labels, collaboration controls, and enterprise administration layered on top of file storage. In a type.com Space, Claude can apply a classification to a sensitive file, manage which domains are allowed for external collaboration, or update a user's avatar as part of routine Box admin work.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Box
Can Claude manage Box files and classifications from type.com?
Yes. With a Box connection shared to your Space, Claude can apply classifications, manage collaboration domains, and handle other admin tasks directly in a thread.
How do I connect Box to type.com?
Box uses OAuth, so you sign in with your Box account when setting up the connection. An admin then decides which Spaces can use it.
Can Box classification work run automatically?
Yes. A recurring task, such as applying initial classifications to newly added files, can be set up as a type.com automation.
Is this the same as an MCP server for Box?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
