Can you please explain how to automatically connect to box without manual click. When i ran below command, i have to manually click and authorize. Can this be skipped through power shell. That would help as i would be able to create .ps1 file and schedule those task scheduler.
after below command this screen appears-
$box = Connect-Box -email abc@email.com -admin
Hello Jaydeep,
If you want to avoid the manual prompt, you need to follow the link under Description, which guides you to Connect ShareGate to Box article. That will explain how to grant access and no longer see that prompt.
Thanks!
