# Connect Paige to Box

Two working paths from Paige into Box: Box Drive on a PC exposing a Box folder that Paige's export writes into, or an automation on Zapier, Make, or Power Automate that uploads each finished document with a name built from its contents. Which to pick and the step-by-step guides.

**Every document Paige finishes can land in Box (box.com) as a searchable PDF with no one uploading anything. Use Box Drive and a folder on a PC, or an automation that also names each file from its own contents.**

Box has no folder-watching import of its own, so Paige reaches it in one of two ways.

## What lands in Box

|  | Box Drive path | Automation path |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The searchable PDF | In the Box folder you choose, with Paige's generated filename | In the folder you choose, named from Paige's fields (for example `INV-20441 – Acme Office Supply.pdf`) |
| Paige's data files (`.json`, `.xml`, `.csv`) | Land alongside the PDF | Not uploaded unless you want them |
| Where it runs | On a PC that stays on and signed in | In the cloud; nothing on-premises |

Box's full-text search reads the PDF text, so documents are findable by their contents. If you use Box metadata templates, the Zapier path can also fill them (**Add Metadata to File**), which the automation guide shows.

## Pick a path

| Path | Choose it when | Guide |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Box Drive folder** | You have a PC that stays on, you're fine with Paige's filenames, and you don't want another subscription | [Export Paige documents to a Box Drive folder](/paige/integrations/export-paige-documents-to-a-box-drive-folder) |
| **Automation** (Zapier, Make, or Power Automate) | You want files named from their contents, optionally with Box metadata filled, and nothing running on a PC | [Send Paige documents to Box with an automation](/paige/integrations/send-paige-documents-to-box-with-an-automation) |
