TechSoup is proud to announce our newest donor partner, Box.org. It provides organizations with the Box file-sharing, content management, and collaboration service.
See the Box.org Donation Program for details about this offer.
Is It Right for My Organization?
You can use Box's cloud-based storage and collaboration tools to replace traditional on-premises file servers and traditional file-sharing processes. It also provides tools that facilitate program management, funding development, and global collaboration.
If your organization works with sensitive data, Box also provides the administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to support your organization's compliance with HIPAA.
How Does It Work?
Merely a storage service? Think again! There are a ton of potential benefits from the various ways you can use Box's features. This long list includes:
- Efficiency through organization: be able to work faster and more efficiently with the help of a well-organized storage. Find files easier by creating subfolders based on type of responsibility or based on office branch, if your organization is geographically dispersed.
- Effective task management: delegate tasks and responsibilities directly from your storage with the help of commenting and taks management features.
- Faster collaboration: open, edit and share files easily with the ability of accessing your files through any device, or by even embedding them to your websites.
- Amiable integration: integrate your Box accounts with other existing systems such as Office 365, Netsuite, Salesforce and more!
What's Available?
Eligible organizations can receive a donation of Box Starter Edition that includes 10 user licenses and 100 GB of storage space. These licenses are perpetual, meaning they never expire. You can upload and share files up to 2 GB in size with the Starter Edition.
