CTools Project Site Migration Day 1 — Using Box

How do I find my migrated resources in U-M Box?

If your CTools project site resources were migrated to U-M Box by ITS, you and all other participants in the CTools project site will receive an email saying you’ve been invited to collaborate on a folder.  The email will contain a link to the folder in your U-M Box account.  Your resources are in a U-M Box folder with the same name as your CTools project site. For example, a CTools project site called “My Project Site” will be called “CTools - My Project Site” in U-M Box.

Note:  When resources are migrated to Box, permissions that were in place in CTools are automatically set up in Box. You can review the permissions in Box.  

What can I do with U-M Box?

Collaboration

      With Box, you can:

  • share files and folders
  • use Box Notes to create checklists and documents in Box that people can simultaneously edit and save (similar to Google Docs)
  • use Box Edit to open, edit and automatically save new versions of documents (Word, Excel, etc.) without having to download, open with the application, edit, and re-upload
  • assign tasks to participants, set due dates, and monitor progress
  • manage access permissions and policies
  • manage your notifications 
  Note: If your resources contain sensitive data, please review this information.

 

File Management

      Box allows you to:

  • add, move and edit files easily
  • customize notifications when edits are made
  • preview without downloading
  • do in-document searches
  • keep your desktop and web content synchronized with Box Sync     

Box provides automatic version control and saves earlier versions.
