Introduction to Box for Pilot Users - Final

Subject: Box Pilot Program: A New and Efficient Way to Store and Share Information at Tufts

Dear Colleague,

Tufts recently purchased a university-wide license for Box.com, a flexible storage service and collaboration tool that allows users to save non-sensitive data in the cloud. Stored documents are accessible anywhere, anytime, and from any device with a connection to the Internet. Files designated by the user may be shared with others to facilitate teaching, learning, research, and collaboration. Although Box.com is not suitable for sensitive information, it may also be used to sync local hard drive files to automatically provide a backup of local computing devices.

Tufts is preparing to offer university-sponsored Box.com storage accounts to faculty, staff, and students in the spring of 2013. To prepare for the launch of this service, we are conducting a small pilot so that we’re better able to meet the needs of the larger population when the time comes. You have been chosen to potentially participate in the pilot and we’d be pleased if you would consider joining. If you’d like to join the pilot, visit http://tufts.box.com and choose "continue" to sign in with your Tufts Username and Password. Once logged in, the program will walk you through the Box.com sign-up process.

Features of Box include:

• Log in with Tufts Username and Tufts Password
• Content stored in Box is accessible from any computer, tablet, or mobile device
• Online workspace for collaborative work
• Includes tools for group discussions and comments
• Personalize notification preferences across entire account
• 20GB of storage per person (maximum individual file size of 1GB for website uploads)

If you have any questions or concerns or would like to learn more about Box.com, please feel free to respond to this email. We are excited about this new service and look forward to your feedback.

Thank you,
