Move Box to Nextcloud
Move the files you choose from Box onto your own Nextcloud server — directly, without downloading them first. Ideal if you're moving company or personal data off big-cloud storage onto infrastructure you control. Your Box account stays as it is.
How it works
- Sign in to CloudRaft and connect your Box account on its own login screen.
- Pick the files or folders you want to copy from Box.
- Connect Nextcloud as the destination.
- We measure everything first and show you the plan — file count, size, and anything we have to set aside — before a single byte copies.
- Press Start. The copy runs on our servers, so you can close the tab; your Box originals are never touched.
Your originals are never touched
CloudRaft is copy-only. It reads the files you pick from Box and writes copies into Nextcloud— it never deletes, moves, renames, or changes anything in your source. We don't store your file contents; they stream between the two clouds through our worker and are never written to our disks.
What to know for this move
- Connect Nextcloud with a one-click login on your own server's screen (or an app password) — never your main password, so you can revoke CloudRaft's access any time.
- Your Nextcloud server has to be reachable on the public internet over HTTPS (e.g. https://cloud.example.com). A home/LAN address like https://192.168.1.50 won't work.
- Box Notes are Box's own document format — export them to PDF or Word from Box first if you want them readable on Nextcloud.
Questions
Do I have to download my files to move them from Box to Nextcloud?
No. CloudRaft copies directly between Box and Nextcloud on its own servers — nothing is downloaded to your computer and you don't need to keep a device running.
Will CloudRaft delete or change my Box files?
Never. CloudRaft is copy-only: it reads the files you choose and writes copies to Nextcloud. It cannot delete, move, or modify anything in Box — that's enforced in code, not just policy.
What does it cost?
You can copy up to 10 GB free, no card. Beyond that you buy a one-time pass — a fixed amount of data for a one-time price, no subscription.
How long does it take?
As fast as both providers allow — we don't throttle. Small files move quickly; very large files take longer. It runs in the background, so you don't have to watch it.
Did everything copy correctly?
We verify every file landed at the destination before counting it done — by size, and by checksum where the provider supports one. The count you see is the verified count, not just attempted.
Can I move my Box files to a self-hosted Nextcloud?
Yes. CloudRaft copies the files you pick from Box straight to your Nextcloud server over a secure connection — nothing is downloaded to your computer, and your Box originals are never changed.
Which self-hosted clouds work besides Nextcloud?
The same connector covers ownCloud, Synology, pCloud, Koofr, Fastmail, Seafile, QNAP, and other servers that speak the WebDAV standard — you connect yours with an app password.
