Box is an online file storage and collaboration service. Some of the benefits to using Box, as opposed to keeping files stored locally on your computer, include:
- Free storage for Tufts students, faculty, and staff.
- Access from anywhere you have an internet connection.
- Large maximum file size of 50.0 GB.
- Ability to store any file type (docx, mp4, SCORM, etc.).
