How to Download photos or Videos from Box to iPhone?
Box is a popular cloud storage service that allows you to store, share, and manage files online. With Box, you can easily upload photos, videos, documents, and other files from your computer or mobile device and access them from anywhere.
If you have photos or videos stored in your Box account, you may want to download them to your iPhone for offline viewing or to free up storage space in Box. Downloading Box files to your iPhone is quick and easy. In this guide, we'll show you two different methods to download photos or videos from Box to your iPhone.
Prerequisites
Before you can download photos and videos from Box to iPhone, you'll need:
- An iPhone
- The Box app installed on your iPhone
- A Box account with files you want to download
- An internet connection on your iPhone
If you don't already have the Box app, you can download it for free from the App Store.
Method 1: Download Photos/Videos Individually in the Box App
The quickest way to download a few photos or videos from Box to iPhone is directly in the Box app. Here's how:

3. Tap the Download Icon
With the photo or video open, tap the downward arrow download icon at the top right.
4. The File Downloads to Your iPhone
After tapping download, the photo or video will start downloading from Box to your iPhone camera roll. A progress indicator will show the download status.
Once finished, you can find and view the downloaded photo/video in your iPhone's Photos app.
And that's it! By repeating this process, you can quickly download all the media files you need from Box to your iPhone.
Method 2: Bulk Download a Box Folder to iPhone
If you want to download multiple photos or videos at once from Box to your iPhone, you can download an entire folder. Here's how to do it:
1. Open the Box App and Navigate to the Folder
Launch the Box app and navigate to the folder containing the photos or videos you want to download.
Tap on the folder to open it.
2. Tap the 3-Dot Menu and Select Download
With the folder open, tap the 3-dot menu in the top-right corner. In the menu that pops up, choose "Download."
3. Choose Download Settings
You can now select download options:
- Download over WIFI only: Only download when connected to wifi to avoid cellular data charges.
- Download in Background: Continue the download even when the Box app is in the background.
When ready, tap "Download" at the bottom to begin.
4. The Folder Downloads to Your iPhone
The Box folder will now download to your iPhone as a zip file. You'll see a notification when the download completes.
Go to Files > Browse > Box to find the downloaded folder zip file.
5. Unzip the Folder
In the Files app, tap and hold the Box folder zip file, then choose "Uncompress" from the menu.
This will unzip the folder so you can access all the photos/videos. They'll save to your iPhone storage.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug!
Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
Gavin Whitham
PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.
Vlad
I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.
Dave
PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
