Connect Box

Use your Box account as a library, and how to reconnect it if it expires.

If you keep your books in Box, Kevra can read them as one more library, without downloading them all.

Plus plan: connecting Box needs the Plus plan.

How to connect it

  1. In the Library tab, tap the name at the top to open Your libraries and, at the bottom, Add a library.
  2. On Remote library, tap Add a library → Connect Box.
  3. Your browser opens: sign in to Box and allow access.
  4. Go back to Kevra. The library is already in the list (if not, pull down to refresh).
  5. Open it and tap Choose folders, or Sync now to look at the whole account.

We email you when the first sync is done. More in Cloud libraries.

The connection is Read-only: Kevra never uploads, moves or deletes anything in your Box.

If the connection expires

Box withdraws access from apps that go a long time without using it. Kevra renews it every week so this doesn't happen, but if it ever does (for example, because you removed access from Box):

  1. Go to Remote library. The library shows in red: "Connection expired".
  2. Tap its ⋯ menu → Reconnect.
  3. Sign in to Box again in the browser and go back to Kevra.

The same library is renewed: it isn't duplicated and you don't lose what you've read, your favorites or the corrections you made. The same works for Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. More in Connection expired in a cloud.
