Daytona provides remote Linux sandboxes for running agent code. Box Mount runs inside the sandbox and maps a Box folder to a standard POSIX path, so your agent works with ordinary file operations while Box remains the system of record.
Before you begin
On the Box side, you need:
- Access to the Box Mount developer preview, including the Box Mount binary. To request access, complete the Box Mount developer preview form.
- A Box app configured for OAuth 2.0 or JWT. See Configure credentials.
- The ID of the Box folder you want to mount. This is the number at the end of the folder URL on Box.

Set up Box Mount in Daytona
Follow Mount a Box folder in the Daytona documentation. It covers installing Box Mount in a snapshot or a running sandbox, and mounting a folder with JWT or OAuth authentication, with examples in Python, TypeScript, Ruby, Go, and Java.
When an agent runs in the same sandbox as Box Mount, keep the Box credentials away from the agent process. See Secure your credentials.
