Box at Fresno State is a simple, reliable, and secure online file storage and sharing service. Box provides secure access to files at work, off campus and from most mobile devices. Box.com is a leader in enterprise storage and serves over 85 universities through a partnership with Internet2. Box at Fresno State is Fresno State’s sponsored enterprise version of Box.com; not the consumer version. The enterprise version is specific to a campus and provides additional functionality like file sharing, collaboration, and document versioning

Collaboration: Collaboration invites are a great way to share content for long term projects. “Collaboration” folders mirror information across any number of Box at Fresno State accounts. Once set up, any changes you make to the folder’s contents will be instantly visible to your collaborators (Box at Fresno State accounts you have invited as collaborators to the folder); similarly, any changes collaborators with 'Editor' access made on the mirrored folder will be instantly visible to you. 

Shared Links: Box at Fresno State allows for quick and easy sharing via shared links. With customizable permission levels, security settings, and a URL that’s easy to copy and paste, shared links can be used to send important content both internally and externally. Unlike collaboration, individuals accessing your content through a shared link get “read-only” access and won’t be able to make changes to your files.

You can assign different “permission levels” to each collaborator. Some levels are more restrictive – allowing members to only download or upload files, for example – while other levels permit collaborators to add, preview, edit, or delete files.
