Destination file path

Designate the path for the file to be uploaded to Box. The formatting is as follows:

  • /FILE
  • /FOLDER/FILE

The initial / points to the “All Files” page. The / between the folder and file names is to distinguish them.

/FILE: Use this format to upload the data directly into the “All Files” page in Box. For example, to upload the data from the variable as a file named sample.png into the “All Files” page, you would enter /sample.png into this property.

/FOLDER/FILE: Use this format to designate a folder to upload the file into. For example, if you want to upload the data as a file named sample.png into a folder named BLOCKS that is shown in the “All Files” page, you would enter /BLOCKS/sample.png into this property.

To upload into a nested folder, if folder A contains folder B, you would enter /A/B/sample.png to upload the file sample.png into folder B.
Input variable Designate the variable that contains the data that will be uploaded to Box.
