Import from Benkyo Box Archives

Importing from a Benkyo Box archive (.bboxarchive files) restores cards, folders, and their attachments (images and drawings) previously exported from the app. This is useful for restoring backups, moving collections between devices, or sharing cards with others.

On Mac Use File -> Import -> Archive, CSV, Folder or Text from the menu bar or drag and drop a .bboxarchive file onto a folder or Card List in the app.

On iPhone & iPad Tap on the Import button and select Archive, CSV, Folder or Text.

Once selected, you'll see a preview of the import showing the cards that will be imported, along with the destination folder. The archive preserves the folder structure and all card attachments by default.

Import Options:

  • Preserve folder structure - If set, the import preserves the archive's folder structure. Otherwise all cards will be imported to the target folder.
  • Into - The destination folder to import the archive into.
Importing an archive creates new copies of the cards and folders. Your existing cards and folders are not affected.
