Share options for Box Hubs

Our agency has begun using Box Hubs, and while we are not a tremendously large organization, if I’m adding all staff as viewers for a hub, it comes across as rather inefficient to have to add every single person’s email individually in the share screen so that the hub appears among their accessible choices.  I’m not missing something, am I?

The work these engineers do is at the heart of what’smade Broadcom’s acquisition strategy so successful, their security posture so strong, and theircompany-wide workflows so efficient. Partnering with Box for “all things content” has played a keyrole in all of these areas.  The top three things Broadcom loves about Box, according to Toh:Scalability: “With every acquisition comes a lot of data, and we have to be able to scale very quickly to absorb all that information.” Security: “With Box security, I don’t have to worry about important business documents and intell

Thursday’s FAQ: What is a Box AI agent?

Ever wanted to get even more from AI? Box AI agents give you the boost you need to finish complex tasks. Use your preferred AI model and save hours of time — while keeping your sensitive data secure. As you configure and customize your Box AI agents, you can give agents specific instructions on how to respond to questions in a way that makes sense for your company and teams. For example, add details from your knowledge base, products, policies, brand guidelines, and more. You can also direct your agents to perform tasks and deliver insights in precise and standardized formats, and adjust permissions so teams access the right agents for their needs.  We’d love to hear about the AI agent you’re looking for or have already built. Share it with us! 😎💙 Related articles and resources:Box AI Studio Product Page Box Announcements: Box AI Studio is here! Box AI Studio FAQs

Folder Comparison

We have a lot of folders in Box that contains a lot of duplicative folders/files and wanted to find a way to compare them so that if They are the same, we can just delete one of them One has more files, delete the one with less files Missing files in either folders, synch them and delete one of them.I’m not sure if Box have this capability or not.  Secondly, Box Drive doesn’t show certain type of files, we can’t really do an apple-to-apple comparison between the folders using third party software on our local Box Drive.Any suggestion, API, etc is greatly appreciate.

Is it possible to set Closed Captions to play automatically when a VTT file is included?

We’ve recently been adding the VTT files alongside the MP4 files on our own platform and I was wondering if it were possible to set closed captions to play by default if the VTT file is present, rather than the user having to turn it on. I’m also checking in our LMS to see if I can do anything there, but thought I’d check with the source first.Many thanks

Can I prevent internal users from utizing Box in certain countries?

Yes, you could configure a Suspicious Location rule limiting access, and exempt the organization from it except for the intended user, then enable the automatic blocking option.

Tuesday Tips & Tricks: Best Practices for Organizing Your Box Hubs

Box Hubs are a powerful way to centralize, organize, and display your content effectively. Here's a guide packed with tips and best practices for organizing your Box Hub. 1. Build a Strong Foundation: Structuring Your HubA well-structured Hub ensures easy navigation and content accessibility. Start by mapping out your content into logical sections. Sections allow you to group similar files, topics, or themes, which simplifies browsing and keeps things tidy. Create Sections Wisely: Click the “Add Block +” button and select Section. Give each section a clear, concise title (within the 100-character limit) and consider adding a brief description to guide users. Plan Ahead: Before adding content, think about the overarching categories your Hub needs. For example, for a product launch Hub, you might include sections like Marketing Assets, Product Documentation, and Training Resources.  2.
