1 1 Box Overview Session Getting Started on Box

2 2 Agenda What is Box? 1 2 3 Box Basics Live Q&A

3 3 What is Box? It’s not just syncing your folders… Box is a cloud collaboration tool that lets you store, access, and edit your files anywhere, anytime.

4 4 Getting Started on Box Agenda What is Box? 1 2 3 Box Basics – Core Features and Locking/Unlocking Live Q&A

5 5 Box Basics The Box Web Application Full-text Search! ( Even works on the mobile apps!) View your folder tree Click the triangle Upload files You can also simply drag onto the page All Files This page always shows both your folders and those you’re a collaborator in Create New Files Click ‘New’ to create a new file, like a MS Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file, or even a Box Note! Collaboration Sidebar The right-hand sidebar shows useful information like who’s in a folder – the collaborators

6 6 Box Basics Navigating when Previewing a File More Information Hover over the name for more information, like Version History and details Fully Native Preview Box Preview allows you to see a file, whether a document, video, presentation, or more, without having to download Comments/Tasks Comments and tasks are shown as a thread next to the file – think of using this for doing file reviews instead of email Edit a File Click the pencil icon to directly open and edit a file, right from the Box website – no manual download/upload required

7 7 Box Basics Uploading Your Content A Box account does you no good if you don’t have any content (files) in it – so let’s review the main ways of getting content into Box. Upload Folders If you’re wanting to upload folders (not just files), use this option Upload files Use this option if you’d like to do basic uploading of one or many files Drag & Drop You can also simply drag and drop files from your computer directly into the folder you’re currently in Box Sync You can also move files and folders directly into your Box Sync folder on your computer – they’ll then get synced up to Box – a good option for larger uploads

8 8 Box Basics Locking Files Do you and your colleagues need to work on a file together? Make sure that you signify your content is being worked on by using a file check-in/check-out feature called Lock File. Lock File When working on a file that multiple users have editing access to, make sure to lock the file. Lock Options When locking a file, you can choose if you want others to be able to download the file while it’s locked or choose an expiration time for the lock on the file to end so that you do not need to unlock manually. Tip: Once you have finished your work, if you did not set an expiration time for the lock, simply click unlock and other users will have the ability to edit. If you forget to do so, any other collaborator that has editing capabilities is also able to unlock the file.

9 9 Box Basics Unlocking Files Are you finished editing a document after you have locked the file? Do you have editor privileges on a file that needs to be unlocked? Use the tool Unlock File to allow others to edit the document. Unlock File Once you have finished your work, simply click Unlock and other users will have the ability to edit. Tips: If you forget to unlock your file, any other collaborator who has editing capabilities is also able to unlock the file. If you need to concurrently edit a document, you are able to create a Box Note rather than a Microsoft Office document.Box Note

10 10 Box Basics How & When to Share Box is great at storing and syncing your own files, but sometimes you want to share files with others or maybe you’re needing to collaborate with your team in a shared workspace (a shared folder). In Box, there are two main ways of ‘sharing’. 1 Collaborators “People in this folder” List of Collaborators The right-hand sidebar will always show you who is a collaborator in the folder you’re currently in Globe The globe icon indicates that the collaborator is not from your organization (they’re external) Invite People Simply click this button to add new collaborators to the folder. Access Level Easily change what each collaborator can do in the current folder

11 11 Box Basics How & When to Share Box is great at storing and syncing your own files, but sometimes you want to share files with others or maybe you’re needing to collaborate with your team in a shared workspace (a shared folder). In Box, there are two main ways of ‘sharing’. 2 Shared Links “A link to a file or folder in Box” Shared Link Every file or folder in Box can have a link associated to it Access Level There are three levels of access – new links will always default to ‘people in your company’ (company colleagues and folder collaborators only)

12 12 Box Basics Access Your Account Across Your Devices & Apps Box for iOS/Android Simply visit the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to download Need offline access?

19 19 Box Quick Tips Here are some helpful lesser-known features in Box Access Stats: Why send an email attachment when you can send a Box Shared Link and track who actually opens the file and when? Shared Link Advanced Settings: Did you know you can actually send links to Box files and prevent the recipient from downloading the file(s)? Also, you can even customize the Shared Link URL itself to make it simple and clean!

20 20 Box Quick Tips Here are some helpful lesser-known features in Box Create A File: Did you know you can create an Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) file directly from Box.com without having to first create it on your computer then manually upload? Just click the ‘New’ button! Collaborator Access Levels: Did you know Box has 7 different types of access levels to choose from when inviting someone into a folder? That means there’s likely an access level to meet most of your use case needs.

21 21 Box Use Case Project/Team Workspaces Let’s make it happen! 1.Decide who should ‘own’ all of your team/project’s files. 2.Create a folder to house all your team’s projects – there are many ways of structuring this out. 3.Invite your teammates in a collaborators to the folder. 4.Upload the relevant files and you’re up and running! Project XYZ Project XYZ – External Uploads XYZ – Workstream 1 Example Simple Project Folder Structure XYZ – Workstream 2 XYZ – Project Charter Project XYZ – Folder 1 Uploads Project XYZ – Folder 2 Uploads Key Things to Consider 1.Instead of ‘attaching’ a file in an email, simply copy/paste the Box shared link for the file instead! 2.Updating/editing a file? Use Box Edit (the pencil icon on a file in box) or the manual ‘Upload a New Version’ instead of uploading an entirely separate file – that way you’ll maintain version history, comments, and links. 3.Resist the temptation to provide feedback on files over email – Comment on the file in box instead!
