Connect your Box account with ClickUp to attach files to tasks and comments!
What you'll need
- The Box integration is available on all paid plans.
- You can authorize one Box account per Workspace. Different Workspaces can be integrated with different Box accounts.
- Guests and limited members with comment permissions and above can use cloud storage apps to attach files to ClickUp tasks.

Set up the Box integration
Get started by setting up the Box integration.
Search Box files using Connected Search
After enabling the integration, you can use Personal or Workspace Connected Search to search Box files in ClickUp.
AI does not ingest file content that is more than one year old. You may search file names from over one year ago, but the content will not be accessible via Connected Search.
Attach Box files to tasks
Once the integration is set up and cloud storage is enabled, you can attach Box files to tasks.
Disconnect the Box integration
If you no longer need to access Box files in ClickUp, you can disconnect the integration from the App Center:
- Search for and select Box.
- Depending on your connection type, select the Personal or Workspace tab.
Only owners and admins can disconnect Workspace connections.
- Next to Connected, click the ellipsis ... menu.
- Select Disconnect.
- To confirm, click Disconnect.
