Document Management: Box

Note to School of Medicine Users

Stanford Medicine Box offers a secure platform for the appropriate sharing of Restricted or Prohibited data. We are actively migrating SoM users with access to Restricted and/or Prohibited data from Stanford University Box to Stanford Medicine Box. We expect to complete this migration by the end of October.

If your Box account has yet to be migrated, you will receive an "Invalid login credentials" message when attempting to log into Stanford Medicine Box.

You can continue to use your Stanford University Box account during this transition. Your receipt of an "Invalid login credentials" message when attempting to log into the university instance indicates your account is now available through Stanford Medicine Box.

Stanford provides basic document management and collaboration through Box.com. Box is an easy-to-use platform that you can log into with your Stanford credentials.

Box supports creation, management, and collaboration for documents that have been written in common desktop  tools (for example, Microsoft Word, Excel), and includes a drag and drop interface and versioning.

Features

  • Single sign-on using your Stanford SUNet ID
  • Individual permissions on folders
  • Document version control
  • Document sharing and collaboration with Box users within and external to Stanford
  • Stanford University Box: 25 GB of cloud storage per user or workgroup
    Stanford Medicine Box: unlimited storage per user
