Integrations

Box Integrations is the first place for Box users to find out about applications they can use in combination with Box. If your application can be used by other enterprises, listing your service in under Integrations can be a great way to find new users. Integrations group apps into sections so that you can quickly find featured, most popular, or recently added apps.
