Managing Data
Can I migrate my DropBox data to UTBox?
...
- By using the Box Upload Widget – this can be embedded into a webpage that you control and be used by 3rd parties to securely upload data without creating an account.
Refer to the following topic on the Box website: How do I upload files to a Box folder from a website with the Upload Widget? Another option is to invite the 3rd party as a collaborator to a folder within Box using the following steps:
Panel - Ask the 3rd party to create a free Box account if they do not already have one
- Create a new folder in Box
- Right-click on it and choose “Invite Collaborators”
- Enter the email address of the 3rd party
- This email address they give you must be the same one they used to create their Box account, or else it will prompt them to make a new free account.
- Set their permissions to “Uploader”
- Add a message and click “Send”
If this method is chosen, a separate folder must be made for each 3rd party.

What happens to my Box account when I leave the university?
Users should download any personal content they wish to retain before they leave the university. When an active student, staff, or faculty member leaves the university their access to UT Box, along with a number of other services, will be restricted. All content stored by that individual will be escrowed for 120-days. Any content that has been shared with others will still be recoverable for 120-days. Co-owners and collaborators of files are encouraged to make a local copy before the end of the 120-day period. If the individual does not return as an active student, staff, or faculty member before the end of 120-day period the associated content will be destroyed.
