What my dept. needs in order to use Box is the availability of shared departmental accounts with larger quotas. As I understand it, only personal accounts with a 25 GB limit are allowed. We would like to consolidate our many DropBox folders and network drives in a single location, but we can't with the current Box offering.

Hi Richard:
We might be able to help you with that need using the Research Hub, http://hub.berkeley.edu. Several departments are using our service for exactly that purpose. (One department currently has about 1.2TB of stuff on the Research Hub.) Please check it out--current member of the campus community can log in using their CalNet ID. If you have any questions, please drop us a line at [hidden email].

Hash: SHA512 Richard, I think this is actually a critical thing to point out regarding Box... Files are inherently owned by an individual account. You might have a bunch of files shared to a large group of people/collaborators/etc, but if the owner's account goes away, the files go away. I raised this issue at the first "Box Early Adopters" meeting and the word from above was that Box had promised more 'enterprise' functionality, like delegated administration. What we have so far is groups for managing sharing. There doesn't yet appear to be any concept of institutional data; data that persists beyond an individual. That, for my school, makes Box a non-starter for most use cases, simply muddying the waters. In fact, it actually puts our institutional data in danger, as users may jump into Box without understanding the limitations, and without any interaction with our IT staff. Box is certainly an interesting and useful technology for individuals, but it is not an institutional solution.

We (the Internet-2 consortium early adopter universities) are working
with Box to implement a departmental or group account feature suitable for use by academic institutions. It will be the next major enhancement for this product. We are pushing them to deliver a much more urgent enhancement, ie the ability to have email aliases for enterprise account holders. We hope to be beta testing this soon. We deem this enhancement as a much higher priority as about 30% of our campus population do not have {CalNetID}@berkeley.edu as their primary email address. The Department/Group account enhancement is certainly important to make this product much more secure and would replace many file service services now provided by campus and individual departments. Stay tuned.. more good stuff to come - and to get back to the topic, those are not "enhancements" one can get from Dropbox!

Richard,
I spoke with UCB Box service providers just before the (soft) launch. Currently there is no way to provision more storage with UCB's implementation of Box. So you can't get more than the default quota right now. For now ResearchHub could be your best choice.

I saw some requests that are not yet being fulfilled by Box so i thought
i would point out a service that some people(mostly faculty) in my dept. have started using over the last few years. https://www.sugarsync.com/ This can be had on an individual basis or a group account. I do not know details about the group account but have a bit of experience now with individual accounts. It provides both backup and/or syncing service for individuals working on multiple systems. Automatic versioning(current + 4 older versions in FIFO). Allows for retrieval of files through either a client software or an https website. Files can be publicly or privately shared. Client side deleted files are moved to a server side recycle bin(in addition to the normal OS bin) that has to be manually deleted with no overwriting(unlike the OS bin). Client software includes computers and handheld device options. Storage can be increased as needed, annual or monthly payment options available, with a discount for annual. I think the biggest difference from individual and group accounts is that shared files in group accounts can be shared within the group for editing, while individual accounts are a read only share access. This has been working well for our faculty, especially the sync part. It allows them to work on one set of files from multiple computers. It keeps copies of files on all computers(so they can work without an internet connection), and propagates changes made to the server and other systems whenever they are online. The client software default is to make backups and the syncing must be specifically enabled on a folder by folder basis.

Tech Commons is intended to be a comprehensive listing of IT services
and products available to the campus. However ... It's literally community sourced, so that you - and that means you, Ted - and every other Micronet member, are a potential contributor, as much as are direct providers of those services and products. It will be as useful - or as out of date or incomplete, for that matter - as we choose to make it: http://techcommons.berkeley.edu/product/tech-commons >From what I understand, even services or products not associated with the campus - that you or your customers find useful in their day to day work - are fair game for addition to these listings. Including those that compete with campus offerings :-).

Aaron,
The SugarSync functionality that you outlined is very similar to the functionality of DropBox - which was the original service in question, not Box.net. To get group functionality from DropBox or other similar services, like SugarSync, you can also use a departmental email address, rather than an individual address, to setup the account. This provides some bit of institutional control. I'm curious, Aaron, what procedure do you have in place to take control of an employee's SugarSync account? -- Richard DeShong, Systems Analyst Athletic Study Center, U.C. Berkeley 164 Chavez Student Center, Berkeley, CA 94720-4220 510-642-5123 asc.berkeley.edu -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Aaron DuBois Sent: Friday, September 14, 2012 10:41 AM Cc: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Micronet] DropBox I saw some requests that are not yet being fulfilled by Box so i thought i would point out a service that some people(mostly faculty) in my dept. have started using over the last few years. https://www.sugarsync.com/ This can be had on an individual basis or a group account. I do not know details about the group account but have a bit of experience now with individual accounts. It provides both backup and/or syncing service for individuals working on multiple systems. Automatic versioning(current + 4 older versions in FIFO). Allows for retrieval of files through either a client software or an https website. Files can be publicly or privately shared. Client side deleted files are moved to a server side recycle bin(in addition to the normal OS bin) that has to be manually deleted with no overwriting(unlike the OS bin). Client software includes computers and handheld device options. Storage can be increased as needed, annual or monthly payment options available, with a discount for annual. I think the biggest difference from individual and group accounts is that shared files in group accounts can be shared within the group for editing, while individual accounts are a read only share access. This has been working well for our faculty, especially the sync part. It allows them to work on one set of files from multiple computers. It keeps copies of files on all computers(so they can work without an internet connection), and propagates changes made to the server and other systems whenever they are online. The client software default is to make backups and the syncing must be specifically enabled on a folder by folder basis.
