# Box

You can use ExpanDrive to connect to Box.com using either a Personal account, or a business account. Business accounts support single sign-on (SSO).

ExpanDrive uses a standard [OAuth flow](/security.md#understanding-oauth-2) to authenticate with Box, so ExpanDrive has no access to your account credentials, only the authentication token returned by Box.

## Connection Parameters

### Nickname

The nickname identifies this connection on your machine. This name is used as the volume label on the mounted drive.

### Account

The account you used for authenticating to Box is displayed. You cannot change this value.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.expandrive.com/integrations/box.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
