Exporting Box Notes to Plain Text Files
Hi,
I'm looking to convert Box Notes to plain text files for backup purposes. How do I do that using the APIs? (Or any simpler way?)
Thanks!

Hey -- I encountered this problem as well, so I built a tool that handles this export. Check it out. Hoping for an official solution!

If you copy-and-paste a Note to text, you lose lists, because of the way they're implemented.
I'd like to thank for largely figuring out the "attribs" encoding -- with that, I was able to write a Java class to convert Box Notes JSON to plain text, which is what I need for my purposes.
It handles numbered and bulleted lists, including nested lists (though the actual bullet or number format used doesn't match Box's for nested lists).

The BoxNote.java class should be usable or extensible in other projects.

My version depends on minimal-json and Apache Commons lang3.

Hi,
There is no Box notes API available as of yet, so you cannot convert box Notes to plain text.
I was wondering why you would need to "backup" Box notes. I personally use Box itself as a Backup for my data, and you seem like you are going the other way around. Just curios on what would be your requirement here.
And I think Box Notes software is not Open Source so, I think the "code" is not available.
thanks,
Bibek
