University to migrate files from Box to Microsoft OneDrive.
Begins June 17, to be completed by Aug. 3.
This summer, all files stored in Box by University students, faculty, and staff will be copied to Microsoft OneDrive. At the end of the migration—which is scheduled to take place from June 17 through Aug. 3—each person will be able to access their documents in OneDrive using functionality similar to Box, with additional integration with other Microsoft tools. UMIT will copy your Box files to OneDrive, so you will not need to migrate your own data. Learn more.
