As some of you may be aware Box is @UMBC! This is a secure online file storage option that DoIT has made available at UMBC. Box adds to Google Drive, the Active Directory (AD) departmental share drive and other options for us to store and collaborate by sharing files. If interested take a look at the great information DoIT has put together regarding Box. You can setup your personal UMBC Box account right now by navigating to http://box.umbc.edu .
If interested DPS departments can migrate their departmental AD share folder to Box. DPS IT Systems has went through the process of migrating our AD share folder to Box. We are still exploring and finding things, but overall the experience has been positive thus far. We are also in the process of helping the ETeacher program migrate their AD share files to Box. DPS IT has created a guide designed to help your department with moving your departmental AD share folder to Box if you wish. So if your department is interested please take a look at the document. Feel free to post any comments or questions below.
Thanks,
DPS IT Systems
