# NVIDIA OpenShell

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

[NVIDIA OpenShell](https://docs.nvidia.com/openshell/home) runs autonomous AI agents in sandboxed environments, with declarative policies that control file access, network activity, and credentials. 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.

## Next steps

* Review [Secure your credentials](https://developer.box.com/guides/box-mount#secure-your-credentials) to keep Box credentials away from the agent process.
* Review the Box Mount [known limitations](https://developer.box.com/guides/box-mount#known-limitations) before you build on the preview.
