Box
...
for
...
Outlook
...
Tufts
...
recently
...
partnered
...
with
...
Box.com
...
to
...
provide
...
cloud
...
storage
...
to
...
all
...
students,
...
faculty,
...
and
...
staff.
...
There
...
are
...
many
...
ways
...
to
...
take
...
advantage
...
of
...
this
...
excellent
...
service
...
whether
...
you
...
want
...
to
...
access
...
your
...
files
...
at
...
your
...
desktop
...
with
...
an
...
integrated
...
file
...
system
...
application,
...
via
...
a
...
web
...
browser,
...
or
...
remotely
...
with
...
your
...
mobile
...
devices.
...
Additionally,
...
Box
...
has
...
developed
...
an
...
application
...
to
...
make
...
your
...
Outlook
...
experience
...
more
...
powerful
...
through
...
the
...
installation
...
of
...
an
...
Outlook
...
add-in.
...
The
...
add-in
...
is
...
great
...
for
...
sending
...
links
...
to
...
files
...
already
...
stored
...
in
...
your
...
Box
...
account.
...
Perhaps
...
even
...
better,
...
the
...
Box
...
for
...
Outlook
...
add-in
...
can
...
also
...
convert
...
an
...
attachment
...
to
...
a
...
Box
...
shared
...
link
...
with
...
one
...
click.
...
This
...
helps
...
to
...
reduce
...
the
...
quota
...
problem
...
many
...
people
...
experience
...
due
...
to
...
the
...
number
...
of
...
attachments
...
received.
...
Box
...
has
...
created
...
a
...
brief
...
...
...
to
...
highlight
...
the
...
benefits
...
of
...
using
...
this
...
product.

- Follow the default steps in the wizard to complete the installation process.
Configuration

Utilization
- When you open a new email message, you will see a new area labeled Send with Box on the right side of the Message ribbon.
- The Upload file and share button works similarly to attaching a file with one significant difference. This command will upload the attachment to a folder of your choice in your Box account and then create a shared link to that file so yours and any recipient’s email accounts are not cluttered by attachments drawing down on disk quotas.
- Select the folder where you wish to upload your attachment and then click Upload and share.
- When the file has successfully uploaded, the screenshot below will appear.
- Click OK to continue with your email message. The shared link will automatically be created and inserted into the body of your message.
- If the file you want to attach to your email message already is hosted on your Box account, choose the Share from Box button when creating your email.
- Navigate to the file’s location on your Box account and click Share.
- Your shared link will automatically be created and inserted into the body of your message.
