Box Integration Setup

Create a Custom App

Before enabling the Box Integration, you will need to create a custom app within the Box console.

1. Log in to your Box account and select "Dev Console" in the lower left-hand corner.

2. Next, click "Create New App" in the upper right-hand corner, then select "Custom App."

3. When the modal opens, enter an app name, select "Integration" under the "Purpose" dropdown menu, select "Security & Compliance" under "Categories," and type "Rhombus" in the "external system" field. Click "Next," then "Create App," to complete the custom app creation.

Authorize Access

Once your custom app has been created, you must authorize Rhombus Systems to be able to save data in your Box account. 

1. From the Box homepage, click "Dev Console," then select the custom app you created in the previous section.

2. Select the "Configuration" tab at the top of the screen and scroll down to "Add and Manage Public Keys." Click "Add Public Key" and enter the value "kvpo7mr30eip126uw0e6yt964yw23y5p" in the empty field.

Locating the Enterprise ID

1. Log in to the Box admin console.

2. Click on "Account & Billing." There, you should see a field labeled "Enterprise ID."

Folder ID

You can select the folder where you want clips to be saved, but it must be a folder owned by the Rhombus application.

1. Log in to Box as the root admin and click "Admin Console" on the left.

2. Click "Content" on the left.

3. In the "filter by user" text box, type Rhombus.

4. If you click on the Rhombus user, you should see "Rhombus Systems - Cloud Video Security's Files."

5. If you right-click on the user name on the left side, you should see an option to "Login to user's account."

6. This will take you into the Rhombus application's storage space and allow you to view newly created files or create a directory to save them to.

Locating the Folder ID

1. Go to the file navigator in your browser and choose “All Files."

2. Click through the hierarchy until you are in the folder you want to use. (Note: The URL in your browser should look something like https://rhombussystems.app.box.com/folder/597152XXXXX/.)

3. The last number in the URL (597152XXXXX in the example above) is the Folder ID.

Rhombus Console Setup

1. Navigate to "Settings" and select "Third Party Integrations."

2. Under the "Storage Management" dropdown, select the "Box" icon. 

3. Toggle the integration on, input the "Enterprise ID" and "Folder ID" from the Box app. 

4. Click "Save" in the top right corner.
