Effective 5/19/2021 - New Collections Feature
Box has added a great new feature called Collections. This allows you to group together items and folders other people have shared with you into a folder that makes sense to you. This doesn't affect the original file and folder structure but allows you to control the organization of your view in Box.
Along with Collections, Box is updating its website appearance (user interface, or UI).

Update on Box Terms with New 3-Year Contract Effective 7/1/2021
Effective July 1, 2021 conditions and terms have changed significally with Box. There is no longer 'unlimited' storage. All departmental and individual user accounts are capped at a combined total of 1,102TB of storage. Users are still provided with a 50GB cap account. More information on some of these changes and how they may impact you will be posted soon.
Box is an online cloud storage and collaboration tool that enables users to easily store, access, and share files from anywhere, at any time, and from any device.
Box provides free accounts with 50 GB of storage to all current University of Arizona faculty, students, and staff.
Account holders can upload content, organize files, share links to files, and manage file and folder permissions.
In addition to providing storage, Box allows faculty and staff to collaborate with colleagues by enabling content management, mobile access to files, online collaboration, FTP, and general document management.
NOTE: Employees, Box@UA still recognizes @email.arizona.edu as the address for faculty/staff/DCCs.
- Use <netid>@email.arizona.edu if asked for a login email or when sharing with Arizona colleagues.
- If someone shares files/folders with you using your @arizona.edu address you will not automatically have access unless you have added it as a secondary address. Ask them to reshare using your @email.arizona.edu address.
- To add @arizona.edu: In the upper right hand corner of your Box screen, click your account menu and choose Account Settings. Scroll down and click on Add Email. You can add <netid>@arizona.edu and/or a departmental email address (e.g., cals.arizona.edu).
