Box
Box is a collaboration platform available on the web and mobile platforms through the Box app. Use Box to share, edit, annotate and comment on a variety of different file types. Native integration with Microsoft 365 files makes opening and editing simple on all platforms. You also build checklists and assign tasks using Box.
Training Session Videos
In 2024-2025, Box hosted training sessions for the Baylor community to help us learn how to navigate Box and build an environment that promotes collegial collaboration. During the session, we discovered tools that eliminate the need for email attachments, allow us to collaborate with people outside the firewall, and make it easy for us to access content on the go. Review the video from these sessions to see that Box is a fast, mobile, collaboration tool.

A Recent Change: Shared Access Permissions
To enhance the security of shared Box files and folders, the default sharing setting was recently changed to "Invited People Only." Two additional settings can be used to manage file and folder sharing in Box:
- "People in your company" restricts access to Baylor students, faculty, staff, and auxiliary. Essentially, anyone with an active Baylor email address. You can use a second drop-down in the Box interface to determine whether people have view-only or view and download access to the file or folder.
- "People with the link" restricts access to those who have a Box link that routes to the file or folder. Again, you can use a second drop-down in the Box interface to determine whether people have view-only or view and download access to the file or folder.
If you share a file or folder using Box Drive on your Windows or Apple, the default setting for the share link will be "Invited People Only." To extend access, you must log into baylor.box.com, navigate to the file or folder, and reset the sharing permissions.
