You logged into Box created a folder or file or uploaded some data and now you want to learn more. You want to improve your skills and be more productive with Box. Problem is, you just don’t know where to go for that information. Well here are a few links to help figure out where to go.
One of the first places you could start is the OSU Box site and specifically our Getting Started with Box and FAQ pages. On the Getting Started page you will also find links to the local information sessions we conducted at OSU during our Box launch phase. This blog is also a good source of information as we will try and publish new and relevant information for OSU Box users.
Traveling a bit farther afield you will want to head over to Box’s Community and Training sites. On the community pages you can get information about how various elements within Box’s web UI work, read what issues other users are experiencing and what they did to fix or work around those issues. One thing that Box is introducing is an Ask the Expert event tomorrow March 31st from 9am to 2pm PST. You have to sign in to the Training forum to participate.
Speaking of Box training, Box maintains a large collection of training material. Besides the forum you will also find a video tutorial library with 19 videos that you can watch on-line or download to watch later. If you want to go deeper you can go to the Box University which has a number of free courses, both self-paced as well as live, that will take you through additional elements of Box. When accessing Box University you can login with your OSU account. To do that click on the “Login with Box” button, then select “Use Single Sign-on (SSO)”, enter your ONID email address (username@oregonstate.edu), and then your username and password. Once you’re logged in browse the various courses available to you.
Box also maintains a YouTube channel that has a number of informative videos on how to use the various features in Box as well as videos showing how others are using Box in their organizations.
If you can’t find what you need or want help doing something in Box feel free to reach out to the IS Service desk for help.
