IMPORTANT: This service will be ending in December 2021 with Dropbox at U-M as a primary alternative. As the U-M box will be going away in December, please make sure to have any data stored in your U-M box account moved over to Dropbox at U-M prior to this date. Any data that is not moved from your U-M box account will be removed after the migration is completed. Please visit the Box Retirement Project site for the latest updates and information. Contact information for the ITS Helpdesk can be found at the bottom of this page for any questions you may have.
