Box - Creating a Shared Folder

Overview

One of the benefits of Box is that it allows you to create folders and files to collaborate with others inside and outside the organization. Here we will briefly describe how to set up a folder and invite others to collaborate easily. 

Permissions

As the owner of Box content, there are many levels of access you can grant collaborators. To review the permissions when inviting a person as collaborator within a folder or file, refer to the table at the following link - Understanding Collaborators Permission Levels.

  1. Log into your Box account online with your USF credentials. 


  2. In the top right corner select New and from the drop-down menu select Folder.


  3. Name the folder you are creating where it says Folder Name.


  4. Enter the email addresses of the people you want to invite to collaborate in the field marked Invite Additional People.


  5. Choose the permission level of collaborators by clicking on the drop-down menu.


    If you want to give different levels of access to the collaborators, you can invite collaborators independently after creating the folder.

  6. Select Create to publish the folder.
