Yes, you can use Box to supplement or replace your Active Directory shares.
Benefits
Anytime, anywhere, any device access to your departmental files.
You control the sharing of files and folders.
Ability to view previous versions of files (e.g. Word, Powerpoint, Excel, PDF, etc.).
Increased security.
Mobile device access to your important files.
Increased availability of files for academic and business continuity.
To create a departmental share we need to do some work on our side first.
Submit a ticket to DoIT with the following information:
Requestor's name and full contact information.
Name(s) of individual(s) in your department that will be "Co-Admin" on the department account. This should only be a few people.
DoIT will contact you to make sure your are familiar with how this will work. Permissions work a little differently in Box so we want to make sure you are familiar with the system before moving your departmental files.
