1. Install Box Sync on Your Computer. (Recommended) Box Sync stores local copies of your files on your computer, and syncs copies to the UBbox cloud.
2. OR, Install Box Drive on Your Computer. Do not install both Box Sync and Box Drive together. Box Drive stores only one copy of your data in the UBbox cloud, freeing up your hard drive space. Files will not be available if you are offline. 
3. Drag and Drop Your Files to Your Box Sync or Box Drive Folder. Box Sync will automatically upload them to UBbox.

• The Box app is available for iOS and Android.
• Be sure to log in using the Single Sign On (SSO) option.
• Selected files can be made available offline, or Favorited for quick access.
