Box at UCLA is a secured cloud-based file sharing and storage service. It is easily accessible from anywhere using your Internet-enabled device, including PC, Mac, tablet, or smart phone.

G Suite, formerly known as Google Apps for Education, is an integrated communication and collaboration solution offered by Google, which includes Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and more. Google Apps is available to employees, students, alumni, and retirees. Affiliated individuals can be granted accounts with appropriate authorization.

Both these services are automatically available to faculty, staff, and students. Access is controlled by your UCLA Logon. There are some subtle differences, but generally they both offer the following features:

• unlimited, backed-up storage with past version recovery
• the ability to share secure links to files that are otherwise too large to be sent via email
• client software that will automatically synchronize files to desktop and notebook computers
• mobile apps that give users access to data on Android and iOS devices.
