[Athen] Internet2 Box Filesharing

[Sean Keegan]

I did not sign an NDA, specifically, but my understanding was that the Box.com discussion was by invitation and the conversation is expected to be private in terms of the roadmap. As Paul pointed out, the a.box.com site is available and may be an option. If you are logging into the system look for a hidden link in the top right of the page that allows you to enable the alternate version of the site. You can always switch back if you want (look for the link "View Full Site").

Take care,
Sean
