Sharing

Let's learn how
1. Leave settings (click on the file folder)
2. Click on + New to create a new folder. Give it a name but keep it private for now.
3. Share the folder (share link on the right) - use their NETID@emory.edu for now.
4. Look at the different levels of access.
5. Add a file to the folder.
6. Emory Box DOES NOT permit "anonymous" sharing.
7. Emory Box DOES permit sharing with people outside of Emory - BUT they must have their own Box.net addresses. They can sign up for a free account.
