Connect Box To OneDrive Using Azure Logic Apps

Azure Logic Apps

Logic App is a cloud-based service that allows us to react to an event in one service (such as SharePoint online) and do something with the data from that event in another service (such as Twitter). It makes it practical and simple for business processes. The users build workflows that automatically perform some business tasks and processes across applications and services. We can connect our business-critical apps and services with Azure Logic Apps, automating our workflows without writing a single line of code.

Before reading this article, please go through some important article links mentioned below,

Here, we will see how to Connect Box to OneDrive using Azure Logic App automatically.

Box

The box is a cloud computing business that provides file-sharing, collaborating, and other tools for working with files that are uploaded to its servers. Users can determine how their content can be shared with other users. Users may invite others to view and/or edit an account's shared files, upload documents and photos to a shared files folder (and thus share those documents outside Box), and give other users rights to view shared files. Login here.

OneDrive

OneDrive is a file-hosting service operated by Microsoft as part of its suite of online services. It allows the users to store files as well as other personal data like Windows Settings or BitLocker recovery keys in the cloud. Files can be synced to a PC and accessed from a web browser or a mobile device, as well as shared publicly or with specific people. Log into OneDrive from here.
