Accessing your G drive and saving files to Box

Uploading a file to Box Drive

If you want to upload your file from the G drive to Box Drive, open your Box Drive folder and the folder you want to drag the files from, and drag and drop your required files into Box Drive.

Please note that this will save to your own Box account and not a shared account. Therefore if you leave Sussex, you will need to transfer ownership of these G drive files and folders to someone else.

Uploading a file to the Box website

1. Open Box and navigate to the place where you would like to put the files/folders.
2. Press 'Upload'.
3. Choose the files you wish to upload and Box will do the rest.

You can also drag and drop files in to the Box website.  

Saving a file to Box Drive

To save a file to a Box folder choose ‘Save As’ and select Box. The Box folders you have recently used will appear at the top of the screen. You can save directly to those folders or browse Box. If you chose to Browse Box and the file you want isn’t listed, you can click on the home button which will take you to the All files area. From there you can drill down into folders as required.
