Using Box.com to Share Large Files

We recommend using Box.com to share files that are too large for email and/or must be accessed externally. It has been approved for use by CTM Security.

Creating an account

Create an account at box.com with your city email address.

(That account should be a full license, any account with the city email address will be flagged to bill.)

Verifying funding

CTM will send an email within a week or so asking for funding numbers or they will delete the account.

Sharing Best Practice

• Share files with people can be done so that you can share in a read only mode or edit mode.

• Only people who need to edit files needs a full license.

• You need to grant rights to who you want to share/edit the file.

Editing Shared Files - Internally

If someone else in the city wants to edit that file in the Box, they will have to have a paid account also.
