remote computer

disconnect from shared folders prior to
disconnecting from VPN

system
60GB of storage, up to 5GB files
Sharing can be enabled with internal and external
collaborators
Install Box Edit to create and edit files

Box for Office
• Add-in for Microsoft Office 2007, 2010, and
2013 on Windows computers
• Allows Excel/PowerPoint/Word to access files

Are other cloud services OK?
• No! No! No!

associates agreement with UCSF
• You may be personally liable for a data breach
involving UCSF data stored in other cloud

UCSF Exchange email service
• The mail@UCSF web mail service https://mail.ucsf.edu is
more secure than using the Microsoft Outlook client on a
typical desktop/laptop home computer
• If you configure/use a desktop Outlook client, a cached
copy of your email will be stored on your home computer
• If your home computer is lost or stolen, that cached
email could be accessed without your consent
• Install Box for Outlook to send links to files already stored
in Box and convert attachments to Box shared links
• If you have an encrypted, UCSF provided laptop, using
the installed Outlook client is a secure method of
remotely accessing your email

• Instant messaging via the im@UCSF service
• Video conferencing via Cisco Jabber (formerly
known as Movi)
