Service Improvement: Box Drive is now available to install

Posted: Tue 5 Feb 2019, 10:03am.

Box is the dedicated cloud storage solution offered to Sussex staff. It offers a number of benefits, including:

  • Unlimited storage
  • Convenience: you can easily access Box on-campus or from home
  • GDPR compliance
  • Excellent security
  • Collaboration, with colleagues at Sussex and other institutions
  • Versioning, allowing you to roll back to older versions of files

Until now, you’ve had to use the Box.com website to access and edit your files. However, we have now made Box Drive available to install onto your staff PC.

Box Drive adds another folder to your PC which is kept synchronised with Box. This means you can browse, open and edit files on your PC directly from your Box Drive folder and when you save your files or move them the changes will be backed up to the cloud.

Box Drive makes using Box much easier. You can find out how to install Box Drive on the ITS website.
