You can set up a sync between a dedicated Gmail label (name it “Save to Box”) and a Box folder.

cloudHQ will ensure that any email added to that label will have its attachments saved to the appropriate Box folder. The label created in Gmail will have your Box folder structure.

In other words, cloudHQ can create a Box folder structure inside your Gmail label, and you can just drag files into that Gmail label and the emails will be saved to Box.
