What Is Purdue Box?
Box is a cloud-based file storage and collaboration service. It provides users with the ability to upload files, securely share them with others, and collaborate effectively. Purdue Box is a Purdue-managed implementation of Box tied to your Purdue email address.
Storage of restricted data in Box requires prior review by Purdue’s IT Security and Policy group. Restricted data storage in Box may also require approval from campus offices and committees responsible for contractual compliance and research regulatory affairs. Restricted data cannot be stored in individual user folders. Controlled research data must be stored in special folder structures governed by policy. Project-specific folders can be provided for approved restricted data uses.
If you are a Purdue researcher with controlled data storage needs, please visit the Research Computing page at https://www.rcac.purdue.edu/services/ or email rcac-help@purdue.edu for more information.
Who is eligible to have a Purdue Box account?
Due to licensing and regulatory restrictions, Purdue Box is only available to currently-active Purdue faculty, staff, and students.
Box accounts are not created in advance. Unless your previously-existing individual account using a Purdue email address was moved to Purdue Box, you will only have a Purdue account if someone shares a file with your Purdue email address or you access Box as part of Purdue University. A Purdue Box account is created for you the first time you do this at https://purdue.box.com.
