Box

Box is a secure, cloud-based content management and collaboration platform that transforms how teams store, manage, and share information. With unlimited storage and a 150 GB single-file upload limit, Box easily supports documents, media, and sensitive data, including personally identifiable information (PII). The platform is built with intelligent threat detection, advanced security controls, and full information governance — ensuring every file aligns with VA security and compliance requirements. Box gives teams a centralized, reliable, and compliant space to work together from anywhere.

The VA leverages Box across three primary scenarios: internal file sharing, collecting content through Box File Request, and securely collaborating with external partners. Because of the sensitive nature of VA work, Box’s strict data privacy, compliance standards, and access controls make it ideal for remote and cross-team collaboration. Box’s ease of use allows teams to quickly share, review, and access content without compromising security. With the addition of Box Drive, staff can work directly from Windows File Explorer while staying synced to the cloud.

The Box SharePoint site (VA Staff Only) is now your one-stop shop for all VA Box information. It provides easy access to current pricing, step-by-step guidance on submitting a Box request, and clear details on what Box enables within the VA — such as secure file storage, collaboration, and compliant data sharing.

Box Drive is now available for use within the VA. Box Drive makes your files and folders accessible through Windows File Explorer. It synchronizes the files and folders within the Box Web application so that you can easily create and collaborate directly from your desktop.

We host a monthly Lunch and Learn on Webex if you want more about Box. During this event, we will show you how Box can help you streamline your external collaboration efforts while improving security and compliance. Our team of experts will provide a demonstration of the features and functionality of Box and answer any questions you may have.
