Box is a cloud content management and file-sharing service that should be used as a resource for storing Auburn University academic or administrative data. Users may invite others to view and/or edit an account's shared files, upload documents and photos to shared files, upload documents and photos to a shared file's folder, and give other users rights to view shared files.
