NYU Box Basics via Box Sync on Your Computer

Note: As illustrated below, you may selectively sync/unsync folders and subfolders from Box Sync by changing the settings at http://nyu.box.com. This means that your files will be securely stored on the web, but removed from the Box Sync folder of your computer. This may be helpful for storing files more securely or archiving files you may not need on your hard drive.

Click the 3 dot button to the right of each file or folder and select Sync to computer or Unsync as desired.
