The Box service at CMC provides a simple, secure way to share and store files and folders online. Box consolidates your content in a single location, easily accessible from anywhere, on any device. You can create files and folders, share them using a direct link, invite others to collaborate, and continue to revise and review your content. Though similar in appearance to other consumer services such as Dropbox, Box can directly integrate with existing CMC systems (e.g., accounts, CAS for single sign-on with your CMC Network Account) and security. Your Box account quota is unlimited.
PLEASE NOTE: Box is not acceptable for certain data (social security numbers, drivers license, passwords, etc.).
