UTA Box will Sunset Monday, August 31

When the Box migration to OneDrive and SharePoint is completed, Box will no longer be offered by the Office of Information Technology after Monday, August 31, 2020. Faculty, staff, students, and authorized guest users will not be able to view, edit, or share Box files, links, or folders after the indicated date. 

To prepare for the departure of Box, please review the following information:

• New requests for Box accounts will no longer be created as OneDrive and SharePoint are the official file storage for The University of Texas at Arlington.  
• Box files and folders that were placed in “Read Only” status during the migration will no longer be accessible to faculty, staff, students, or authorized guest users.  
• Faculty, staff, and students will need to establish new links and add appropriate permissions to OneDrive and SharePoint files and folders.  
• Departments may need to update any documentation, workflows, or systems that have links to Box files and folders with the new OneDrive or SharePoint location.  

Please reach out to the IT Help Desk for any questions, comments, or concerns at 817-272-2208, submit a self-service ticket, or send a chat. To learn more about navigating through these systems, please visit the OneDrive and SharePoint resource guides.
