If a UT Austin faculty, staff, or student shared a Box folder with you it should be listed in your Box account home page. The screenshot to the right shows an example of a folder shared by an employee at UT Austin. The shared folder is named "Test" with the owner listed as "The University of Texas at Austin". Click on the shared folder to open it up. You can now access the files and folders that have been shared with you. If you have been granted upload ability to the folder you should be able to drag-and-drop files to the open folder in your web browser to upload files to it. If you have been granted the ability to view files in the shared folder then you can simply click on a file name to open it.

Warning
titleConfidential Data

When collaborating with someone at UT Austin it is critical that you only exchange files containing Confidential data in folders shared with you by someone at UT Austin. DO NOT put confidential data in folders that you create in your free Box.com account's file space. Shared folders such as the example with the owner listed as "The University of Texas at Austin" are safe for Confidential data which you need to share with someone at UT Austin. If you are unable to upload a Confidential file to a folder someone at UT Austin has shared with you, inform the UT Austin person of this so that they can adjust the shared folder permissions or create a new shared folder for you.

UT Austin has a contract with the Box.com service that ensures data stored in a folder created under a UT Austin employee or student assigned Box account is FERPA complaint compliant as well as being compliant with several other data types. This contract DOES NOT extend to files stored in folders created in the file space of a free personal Box.com account like what you just created. When in doubt, ask the UT Austin employee or student what the name of the folder is that you should upload your Confidential files to and check to make sure the folder owner is listed as "The University of Texas at Austin".
