UChicago Box is the University's instance of Box.com. It is a cloud file storage and sharing tool similar to Google Drive. It allows you to create notes, spreadsheets, and Google Docs. Instructors can enable UChicago Box integration in Canvas. This integration allows course members to view documents in their UChicago Box account in Canvas. This is particularly useful for courses with file sizes over two gigabytes (2GB).
