Penn State Continues Transition From Box To Microsoft OneDrive Storage
Penn State’s transition from Box to Office 365 cloud storage will continue throughout the 2021 summer beginning in June.
To get things started, students are encouraged to delete unnecessary files and follow steps outlined in the Box pre-mitigation checklist. Seniors graduating this summer are encouraged to download any data from Box that they want to keep, as it won’t be recoverable after September.
Box data can’t be accessed while it’s being migrated. Larger accounts will take longer to transfer, which is why it’s important to delete unnecessary files to speed up the process. Students will be notified once the transfer is complete to OneDrive.
Penn State announced its plans to discontinue the use of Box in 2021 and begin using Microsoft OneDrive and Sharepoint. The migration process began in October 2020. Penn State decided to discontinue using Box due to increased prices and the end of its unlimited storage offer.
Box will be retired at Penn State by September 2021. More information about the transition from Box to Office 365 cloud can be found on the Box migration website.
