The Box Export Plugin for Adobe Lightroom enables you to export photos and videos from Adobe Lightroom directly to your Box account, manage online albums, and synchronize your entire album hierarchy via Lightroom's Publish Services.

The Box Export Plugin for Adobe Lightroom helps you:

  • Create new albums
  • Navigate existing albums
  • Export photos and videos to your Box account
  • Share albums easily with a link
  • Synchronize photo descriptions

In addition to the standard export operations, the plugin also offers a fully featured publish service for Lightroom version 3 and 4. With the publish service you can:

  • Import your existing album structure
  • Associate online photos with photos in your Lightroom catalog
  • Automatically publish updated photos
  • Rearrange and organize your albums
  • View comments on your photos and post your own comments

 

 

Requirements

  • Lightroom 2 (2.4 - 2.7): Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS X
  • Lightroom 3 (3.3 - 3.6): Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS X
  • Lightroom 4 (4.0 - 4.4):  Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS X

The plug-in uses the Photos folder to create albums and uploads photos. If you don't have it in your account, make a new folder in the topmost level of your Box folder and name it Photos.

Licensing and Registration

This plug-in is released as Shareware (no source code provided). The registration fee is $15 (USD). The license allows you to install the plugin on two computers, for example a desktop and a laptop computer, owned and operated by a single user.

Starting with Lightroom 5, you would need to purchase a new registration code for each major Lightroom version. This does not impact dot (minor) releases, e.g. Lr 4.1 to Lr 4.2.

Demo Version Restrictions

You may use the unregistered (free) version at no charge for a limited time (10 days), after which you have to register the plugin in order to continue using it. Otherwise, the demo version is a full-featured product and has no other restrictions.
