A good alternative to zapier, make and IFTT. I like the prices they are really cheap compared to the other companies. The support team and the documentation is on point. The UI and the automations possible are what I love most about Albato.

Frequently asked questions about Box and Google Drive Integration

Why is Albato the best alternative to Zapier for integrating Box and Google Drive?

Albato is the best alternative to Zapier because it’s about 30% cheaper, making it perfect for small businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs who want to save money on automation tools. Unlike other automation platforms, Albato has preserved its original no-code approach, so you don’t need any technical skills to set up automations between Box and Google Drive. It’s super easy to use, and you can create powerful workflows without the hassle.

What really sets Albato apart is its excellent customer support — you get real people helping you, no matter which plan you’re on. So if you're looking for a more affordable, user-friendly solution for integrating Box and Google Drive, Albato is the way to go!

Does Box integrate with Google Drive on the free plan?

Yes, you can integrate Box with Google Drive using Albato's free plan. Upon registration, you receive a 7-day trial with full access to all features, allowing you to set up and test your Google Drive and Box integration without limitations. After the trial, the free plan provides 100 transactions and up to 5 active automations, enabling you to maintain your Box Google Drive integration at no cost.

How to connect Google Drive to Box for scheduled syncs?

To sync Google Drive with Box on a scheduled basis, Albato offers flexible scheduling options for your integrations. Whether you need data synchronization or workflow triggers at specific times, days of the week, or custom intervals, you can achieve this easily using API triggers. Simply configure the “Set Schedule” option to define the desired frequency—hourly, on specific weekdays, on selected days of the month, or through a fully customized schedule. Additionally, Albato provides the Scheduled Trigger, which allows you to activate your scenario according to your personalized timetable. This makes Box integration with Google Drive seamless and tailored to your specific needs.

Does Box integrate with Google Drive in real time?

Yes, Box integrates with Google Drive in real time using Albato's flexible trigger system. This system supports two types of triggers: Webhook Triggers and API Triggers.
Webhook Triggers: These triggers activate your Box integration with Google Drive instantly when a specified event occurs in the source application. They enable immediate data transfer and real-time synchronization between your applications.
API Triggers: These triggers poll your system for new events at regular intervals—every 15 minutes, 10 minutes, or as frequently as every minute, depending on your subscription plan. While not instantaneous, they provide near real-time Box and Google Drive integration.
You can identify the type of trigger by specific icons during the automation setup process in Albato. This allows you to choose the most suitable method for your Google Drive integration with Box, ensuring your workflows operate according to your requirements.

How to connect Box to Google Drive?

Setting up an integration between Box and Google Drive on Albato is simple and requires no technical skills. Just follow these steps:

Log in to your Albato account. If you don’t have one yet, sign up — it's quick and easy.
Go to the Integrations section and select Box and Google Drive from the list of available apps.
Choose triggers and actions. You’ll need to define an event in Box (the trigger) that will cause an action in Google Drive, such as sending data or creating an entry.
Map the fields. Use Albato’s data mapping tool to match specific fields between Box and Google Drive, ensuring accurate data transfer.

Once the integration is live, data will flow seamlessly between Box and Google Drive, automating your workflows and saving you time.

How to connect Box to Google Drive to sync historical data?

To sync Box with Google Drive and transfer historical data, Albato provides a dedicated Migration Mode. This feature allows you to retrieve and send data from past periods, unlike real-time synchronization, which triggers automation only for new events occurring after setup.
With Migration Mode, you can configure the transfer of data from any desired timeframe—whether for all historical records or through periodic migrations. To check if Migration Mode is available for your Google Drive integration with Box, log in to your Albato account, select the trigger event for your app, and look for the Migration Mode icon. If it's not visible or you need further clarification, feel free to contact our customer support team for assistance.

How to connect Google Drive to Box for two-way synchronization?

To integrate Google Drive with Box for two-way synchronization, Albato uses a system of triggers and actions. You can link Box to Google Drive by setting up two separate automations. The first automation sent data from Box to Google Drive. For instance, when a record is created or updated in Box, the automation ensures the changes are reflected in Google Drive. The second automation works in reverse, updating Box when changes occur in Google Drive.
To avoid infinite loops or duplicate updates, apply filters—such as updating only when specific data changes—and use unique record identifiers. This approach ensures seamless Google Drive Box integration and keeps your data consistent across both platforms.
