Is Box Connector available to Reactive Web applications?

We are going to implement a Reactive Web application, in which end users upload files to Box cloud storage.
We are thinking of using Box Connector, but Box Connector is marked as a "Traditional Web" module.
We set dependency between our Reactive Web application and Box Connector, and calling Box API through Box Connector from our application server actions seems to work well.
But, we are worried if there is anything overlooked...
Box Connector uses Session, and we don't know that Session works well with Reactive Web application...

Is there anyone who used Box Connector in Reactive Web application?

Hi, I understand your concerns, but there's no immediate plans to port this to Reactive.
I'm not aware if anyone has used it under a Reactive Web App, but if anyone has please follow up on this.

Thank you for your comment.
And, sorry for late reply...

We tried to use this component in our Reactive Web application, but eventually we gave up using this component and we implemented an extension with Box SDK. (Because we got errors at JWT authentication in our environment and we didn't have enough time to solve the errors until our application development deadline.)

Just for your information...

Hi , 
         I am also trying to connect Box to upload files in reactive Web but facing some errors. What is the other solution you have tried to upload files instead of Box cloud storage?

Thanks and Regards
Annie

Hi, 

 We created an Extension module with Integration Studio and Box .NET SDK.
https://github.com/box/box-windows-sdk-v2
 And we called the Extension action in Server Actions.

 At that time, Newtonsoft.Json dll versions were conflicted between Platform Server and Box SDK. Therefore, we made a workaround using an old version of SDK. This worked well and we clould upload/download files with our Box cloud storage.
 However, because we stopped using the Extension, we don't know whether it is in the same situation.

Kind regards,
