Box is a cloud storage that provides a secure content and file sharing collaboration platform. Content on Box can be shared internally and externally, accessed through iPad, iPhone and Android applications, and extended to partner applications such as Canvas.
With Box you may store any type of file in the cloud -- from photos, videos, and other files. Make sure to read the Box and Security page for eligible files to be stored on your Box. Access your files easily anytime, anywhere. In addition, you may work with all your cloud files from your desktop with Box Drive without using much hard drive space. You can keep everything organized in folders—just like your desktop—and securely stored in the cloud.

Box was implemented at UNK on August 6, 2018.
You will be able to move your data to a personal Box account.
- Go to Box.com and click Create Account. Use your personal email address.
Free accounts receive up to 10 GB storage.
- In your Box@UNK account, share the folder(s) you want to save with your personal email.
- Change the collaboration status for your personal account to Owner.
By making your personal account the Owner your Box@UNK account becomes an Editor and no longer owns the folder. Be aware that depending on your personal Box account service plan, you can loose certain collaboration features and have less storage.

http://unl.box.com/apps.All of the following security mechanisms were reviewed by CISO representatives from each of the Internet2 early adopter campuses:
Box hosts its servers at multiple geographically separated, enterprise-grade data centers in the United States with a 99.9% network uptime guarantee, ongoing audits and 24x7x365 monitoring and video surveillance. Data is stored on a secure internal storage cluster behind an enterprise-grade firewall, with redundant connections to multiple Internet backbones. The software passes every request through a carefully audited verification code, which ensures that the user is authorized for the action requested. Box stores local snapshots of data and backs up all data daily to an additional facility in a third location.
All user data is stored in encrypted form. Keys are held by Box under strictest security.
256-bit Secured Socket Layer (SSL) encryption is used on the data between the end user and Box. Indexing of public files by search engines or robots is disallowed, and all filenames are encoded once they arrive on Box's servers.
When you upload a file to Box, it is private by default and encrypted when stored. Your files are only accessible to others if you share them or make them public. You can make any shared file private again, or modify it so a password is required to access it. If you share a file using a link, that link will contain a unique ID made up of a randomly generated combination of letters and integers so humans cannot guess the location of those files. While Box holds the keys to encrypted data, this is held under strictest physical and personnel security and is only used when permission is granted by the member institution.
Box uses proven password and privilege techniques to validate access to all application data. University administrators have full console access to set user privileges, limiting what individual account holders can see and do on Box. The application determines access and presents only data the user has permission to see. For further security, an administrator can set role-based permissions so that some viewers may only view data, not edit it. With the Enterprise edition, Box also displays a list of all the primary actions of each of its users (download, upload, delete, log-in, etc.), giving administrators oversight on usage in their accounts.

Mobile Access
View your files on any browser-enabled mobile device and use Box's apps on an Android Smartphone, iPhone, iPad, and Blackberry. Note: Single sign-on is supported on Box-created mobile applications (iPhone, iPad, Android).
