The short version
Which one do I need?
Already on Box and want HubSpot to run your document processes?
Don’t use Box, and files are light?
HubSpot’s attachments, Files tool and file properties may be enough.
Storing files in Google Drive or SharePoint instead of Box?
HubSpot’s own Google Drive or Microsoft SharePoint & OneDrive apps, or a multi-storage tool such as CloudFiles.
Best fit
Who each option is best for
Box Connector by SparkGrid
Best for organizations that use Box as their system of record and HubSpot as the place work happens, especially document-heavy and regulated teams such as financial services, legal and healthcare. You get Box folders on HubSpot records, 42 no-code workflow actions, Box Sign requests from HubSpot, and on Enterprise, Box Doc Gen, metadata, Box AI and governance actions. Files and folder permissions stay in Box. Workflow actions run through a connected Box account.[2][3]
Less suited to: teams that need one tool across several storage providers (Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox), or very small teams whose needs are covered by free tools.
HubSpot native file tools (Attachments card, Files tool, file properties)
Best for teams with light file needs that are comfortable storing documents in HubSpot. They are included with HubSpot, simple to use, and file properties can collect uploads from forms.
HubSpot’s Google Drive and Microsoft SharePoint & OneDrive apps
Best for Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 shops. Both are built by HubSpot, link files and folders to records, and add a small set of workflow actions (create folder, upload from a file property, link items).[8][9]
Less suited to: Box customers. These apps do not connect to Box. The SharePoint & OneDrive app is in public beta.[9]
CloudFiles
Best for teams that need one document layer across several storage providers (Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, AWS S3), plus tracked sharing links, datarooms and template-based document generation.[11]

Compliance
Keep HubSpot files under your Box compliance controls
With Box Connector, the documents your team works on in HubSpot stay in Box, so the Box security, retention and compliance controls your compliance team set up still apply. That keeps them out of HubSpot file attachments, email threads and shared drives that sit outside those controls. SparkGrid, which builds Box Connector, has completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit.[1]
Government and export controls
Healthcare data
Box supports HIPAA and HITECH and signs a HIPAA BAA with customers on its Enterprise, Enterprise Plus and Enterprise Advanced plans.[20]
Data residency
Box Zones lets you store content in specific regions to help meet data residency requirements.[21]
Security and governance
Box Shield adds content classification and threat detection. Box Governance adds retention policies and legal holds.[22]
FedRAMP, HIPAA, ITAR and ISO certifications and attestations listed here belong to Box and depend on your Box plan and configuration; SparkGrid does not hold them.
Proof point: Strategic Wealth Designers
400 hours a month to 5.
Strategic Wealth Designers, a wealth management firm, rebuilt client onboarding around HubSpot workflows, Box AI and Box Connector. Clients upload documents through a secure intake link. Box Connector builds each client’s Box folder structure, checks each document against its type, renames it to a standard, routes exceptions to a “Needs Review” folder, and pins the client’s Box folder to their HubSpot record. Files never leave Box.
“Now, we can view that file right out of HubSpot. However, it’s not in HubSpot and hosted on HubSpot. We have a window that’s directly into Box, so that way we can maintain compliance.”
Devin Smith, Director of Marketing & Technology, Strategic Wealth Designers
From Devin’s five-star HubSpot App Marketplace review, “The 400 Hour Per Month Time Saver”:
“The Box Connector integration for HubSpot has absolutely transformed the way we do business, process documentation, and service our clients.”
Also: Root Financial automated client onboarding documents across HubSpot and Box, saving 40 hrs/week (1 FTE).
