Usage

box_save(..., dir_id = box_getwd(), file_name = ".RData", description = NULL)
box_save_image(dir_id = box_getwd(), file_name = ".RData", description = NULL)

For box_load, the box.com id of the .RData or .rda file you'd like to load into your workspace.

Value

Details

box_save saves an .RData file using save.image if objects is not supplied or save if it is. The file is then uploaded to box.com via box_ul.

box_load downloads a file from box.com using box_dl, and then loads it into the current workspace.
