ARP-BOX is a powerful secure cloud integration tool for synchronizing and sharing files between your IBM i and Box.   Built upon the Arpeggio secure cloud connector platform ARP-BOX is a programmable agent that can upload, download, synchronize and manage files and directories on the Box storage platform.

Box is a cloud based file storage and secure sharing platform that has gained mass adoption.  Box can be accessed from any device making it easy to share critical information.  ARP-BOX is an ideal solution for storing and sharing critical files and documents safely within organizations and trading partner communities.

ARP-BOX allows organizations to gain control over synchonizing and sharing of files on Box by totally automating the steps required to move files back and forth between an IBM i machine and Box folders.   Yes, you won't have to worry that someone pasted a file into the wrong Box folder anymore!  The command driven interface to ARP-BOX makes implementations easy and reliable by building programmatic rules within existing IBM i processes.  It provides syncrhonizing of any types of files - DB2, IFS, Save File, Spool Files, Source Members, etc. and can be used for many purposes including secure data backups.

ARP-BOX uses all of the Box APIs available and can immediately process a file on the IBM i that has been placed in a Box folder by someone else.   You can automate receiving files from Box in real-time but have total control over how it is processed.

Unlike FTP servers, Box has 100% uptime.   It is a great solution for securely sending and receiving critical files between suppliers and customers or even as a modern way to distribute reports to users so they can access them from tablets and smart phones.
