    Hello,
    To automate moving files to an "old" folder after 24 hours using Box Relay, follow these steps:
    Set Up Box Relay:
    Ensure you have access to Box Relay and the necessary permissions to create and manage workflows in your Box account.
    Create a New Workflow:
    Go to your Box account and navigate to Box Relay.
    Click on Create Workflow.
    Select the Custom Workflow option.
    Choose the Trigger Event:
    Set the trigger to be when a file is uploaded. You can select "File Created" as the trigger.
    This will start the workflow whenever a new file is uploaded to the folder.
    Add a Wait Action for 24 Hours:
    After selecting the trigger, add an action to wait for 24 hours. This can be done by adding a "Wait" action and configuring it for 24 hours.
    Move the File to the 'Old' Folder:
    After the wait action, add an action to move the file.
    Select the Move File action and specify the target folder (the "old" folder where you want the files to be moved).     click here
    Configure Workflow Settings:
    Once you've set the trigger, wait action, and move file action, review your workflow configuration.
    Make sure to name the workflow and configure any additional settings, such as notifications if needed.
    Activate the Workflow:
    After configuring the workflow, click Activate to enable it. The workflow will now run automatically every time a file is uploaded, waiting for 24 hours before moving it to the "old" folder.
    Best Regards

    Hello,
    Thank you for responding my question.
    I have an extra question.

    How can I add "Wait Action for 24 Hours "?
    Which button should I select? 

    I cannot find such button in my screen.
    I've attached my current status. 

    Best Regards

    Masa
