Box Plugin for WordPress: Put Your Box Files to Work on Your Site

★ The original Box plugin for WordPress: the first to bring a full file browser, inline previews and media streaming to Box.

Your files already live in Box, so why copy them into WordPress all over again? Lets-Box (WP Cloud Plugins) brings your Box folders straight onto your pages, so visitors browse, preview and download the real files, live from Box. No duplicates on your server, no sync tool running in the background, no second library to keep tidy. Connect your account in one click, drop a module on the page, and you’re publishing in minutes, without touching a line of code.

✱ What people build with Lets-Box

A few common ways teams put their Box files to work on WordPress:

• Client portals: give each client a private Box folder to preview, download and drop off documents, without seeing anyone else’s files.
• Download centers: publish manuals, price lists, brochures or software for visitors to grab, straight from Box.
• Documentation & knowledge bases: keep your docs in Box and let the site always show the latest version.
• Media libraries: stream video lessons, podcasts or audio right on the page, with the files staying on Box.
• Portfolios & event galleries: build image galleries from a Box folder and refresh them by adding photos in the cloud.
• Member areas & team workspaces: share the right files with the right people, controlled per WordPress user and role.

✱ Modules: build exactly what you need

Mix and match modules to create a client portal, a download center, a media library or a documentation hub. Whatever you build, your files never leave Box.

ALWAYS IN SYNC
◉ FILE BROWSER | ❱❱❱ DEMO
Give visitors a real file manager for any Box folder: grid or list view, breadcrumb navigation, search and drag-and-drop uploads. Change a file in Box and it updates on your site on the next page load, so you manage everything in one place and never touch WordPress twice.

NEVER RE-UPLOAD AGAIN
◉ PHOTO GALLERY | ❱❱❱ DEMO
Turn any Box folder into a polished gallery in seconds. Add or remove photos in Box and the gallery follows, with no re-uploading, no rebuilding, and your originals stay safely in the cloud.

COLLECT FILES FROM ANYONE
◉ UPLOAD BOX | ❱❱❱ DEMO
Let visitors drop files straight into your Box. Pair it with the form-plugin integrations and Private Folders and you’ve got a full client area, where every client uploads to their own private folder without ever seeing anyone else’s.

STREAM STRAIGHT FROM BOX
◉ MEDIA PLAYER | ❱❱❱ DEMO
Play audio and video right on the page with a clean HTML5 player: playlists, playback speed and captions included. It streams from Box using short-lived signed URLs, so playback is fast and your source files stay put. It can even build a playlist automatically from the folder you choose.
Supported formats: mp3, mp4, m4a & m4v (AAC/H.264), oga & ogv (Vorbis/Theora), webmv (Vorbis/VP8).

SHOW OFF YOUR IMAGES
◉ SLIDER / CAROUSEL | ❱❱❱ DEMO
Spin up a responsive image slider from a Box folder and manage the contents from your cloud. Style it in the Shortcode Builder without code, and it looks sharp on every screen size, from phone to desktop.

✱ Features you’ll actually use

The features and integrations below let you build a genuinely custom file solution in a few clicks, the kind you’d normally pay a developer for.

ALL IN THE CLOUD
Your files stay on Box instead of your server, so you save disk space and bandwidth. The plugin manages everything directly on Box, and visitors download from Box’s servers, not yours.

PREVIEW ALMOST ANYTHING
Box’s preview engine renders 100+ file types right on the page: Office documents, PDFs, video, audio, source code, archives, even CAD files and 3D models. Visitors see the file without downloading a thing.

SHORTCODE BUILDER
Set up any module through friendly on-screen controls, no code required. There’s a lot you can tweak, but even first-timers get a great result on the first try.

INLINE PREVIEW
Open documents and images in a built-in lightbox, so people read and view files without leaving your page or downloading first.

FULL-TEXT SEARCH
Let visitors find files by name, extension and tags, and search inside file contents too, not just the file names.

EMBED FILES
Want a single document front and centre? Use the Embed button in the WordPress editor to drop a file neatly into any page or post.

WORDPRESS MEDIA LIBRARY
Pull files straight from Box into the standard WordPress Media Library, so you can use your cloud files anywhere your theme and other plugins expect a media item.

PRIVATE FOLDERS / USER FOLDERS
Give every client their own private folder on Box to preview, download and upload to. They see their folder and nobody else’s. Link one user to several folders (invoices, contracts, deliverables), or share a folder with someone who has no WordPress account via the built-in Guest user. Assign folders by hand, or let the plugin do it automatically as people sign up.

USER PERMISSIONS
Decide per module which users and roles may view, download, upload, rename or delete files, all through the WordPress user system you already know.

NOTIFICATIONS
Get a friendly email the moment someone downloads, uploads or deletes a file, so you always know when a client needs your attention.

EVENT LOGS
See every preview, download, stream and upload in the plugin’s reports, or in a summary email. Events can flow into Google Analytics too.

OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE
A built-in caching system remembers Box’s responses, so your pages load quickly instead of calling Box on every single view.

MULTI-LANGUAGE SUPPORTED
The package ships with 15+ translations and is fully translation-ready. Prefer to do your own? It’s easy with the free Loco Translate plugin. Send us a new translation and we’ll happily refund your purchase.

LAZY LOADING
The plugin only loads its assets on pages where a module is actually used: less traffic, faster pages.

RESPONSIVE DESIGN
File Browser, Gallery, Upload Box and Media Player all look great on desktop and mobile alike.

PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT
In active development since 2012 and improved constantly ever since. Got a question or hit a snag? Open a ticket and we’ll do our best to get you sorted.

LIFETIME UPDATES – Free of Charge
Every update is automatic and free. Stay on the latest Lets-Box release and enjoy new features as they land.

LOOKING FOR A NEW FEATURE?
We love good feedback. Need something the plugin doesn’t do yet? Drop us a line through support. We’ll see if we can add it in a future version, or write a bit of PHP to help you out.
