# Daytona

> Use Box Mount to give an agent running in a Daytona sandbox governed access to a Box folder.

[Daytona](https://www.daytona.io/docs/en/) 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](https://bit.ly/box-mount-preview).
* A Box app configured for OAuth 2.0 or JWT. See [Configure credentials](https://developer.box.com/guides/box-mount#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](https://www.daytona.io/docs/en/mount-external-storage/#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](https://developer.box.com/guides/box-mount#secure-your-credentials).

## Next steps

* Run the [Box Mount contract review on Daytona example](https://github.com/box-community/daytona-box-mount) for a complete agent workflow.
* Review the Box Mount [known limitations](https://developer.box.com/guides/box-mount#known-limitations) before you build on the preview.
