Welcome to the School of Law's UTBox main support page!
When you have a minute, we recommend skimming through the black text further down this page for an abbreviated overview of organizing your folders and files in UTBox via the web interface online. Otherwise, use the blue links that follow for more details, or if you're looking for specific topics. Click here if you're looking for initial Windows desktop setup instructions and screenshot links.
Setting up UTBox for the first time
Navigating in Box
Use these features to navigate through your Box account via your web browser:
- Folder Tree: Clicking All Files on the upper left opens a clickable folder tree.
- Search: Use the search bar at the top of your screen to search folder and file names, as well as the text of most common files types.
- Filter: You can filter search returns to further refine your results by using the filtering buttons at the top of the page. Click the + (plus sign) to display additional filter options (date, content, size, and owner), and follow the resulting prompts to continue to refine your search.
- Bookmark: To save a search, copy the web address of the search, and then navigate to the folder in Box where you would like to save the search. Once there, from the New drop-down list, select New Bookmark. Paste the address in the "Address of page/content" field. Enter a name and description if you wish, and click Okay.
- Recently Updated: Click the globe icon in the very top orange bar for a list of recently updated files. Filter your display by hovering over the highlighted term next to "Recent updates" on the upper left and making a selection.
- Return "Home": Click the folder icon in the very top orange bar (right of globe) to return to your default "home" view without filters or search results.
- Breadcrumbs: You can always back up through your folder hierarchy via the breadcrumbs just below the orange bar near the top.
Uploading content
Click Upload on the upper left.
- Use Upload Files to upload files under 1 GB.
- Use Upload Folders when you are uploading either single or multiple folders, or a file larger than 1 GB. (Java is required for this option.) This option is recommended for bulk uploading large numbers of files.
