Important Updates

Box to OneDrive Migration
When will my Box content be migrated to OneDrive for Business?

  • The project team is currently working on a timeframe for the migration. We are anticipating that the timeline will be ready by the middle of December, with actual migrations beginning in late December.
  • Communication will go out about the timeframe when it is finalized. 

Should I move my Box data myself? 

  • We do not encourage users/departments to self-move their data. 
    • If you self-move, you risk losing sharing permissions, causing work interruptions and duplicating shared data (if you move the data and the migration team also moves it).
    • LITS may not have immediate resources to assist in recovery of data that has been lost or incorrectly migrated.
    • There are size limitations for moving large folders in Box to another location. 
      • What is a large folder? A large folder is one that is 15GB or higher in size. Box does NOT allow the download of folders bigger than 15GB, meaning they will need to be downloaded in subsets by the users. Downloading in subsets greatly increases the potential for missing files during a self-move
      • How to identify the folder size? If you click a folder, its properties such as size, owner, creation date, and description can be found in the "Details Tab" on the right-hand sidebar.

What should I do if I am using a specific workflow in Box?  

  • Some users and departments use Box for more than just sharing of folders/files. Examples of these more complex uses of Box include approvals, custom coding, uploading files via email, and integration with 3rd party applications such as Slack or Tableau.
  • If you are doing more than just sharing folders and files in Box, we need information about your Box workflow processes.
How to let us know about your workflow:
  • Emory University users: contact your BOD Champion, and they will work with you and our team to see what needs to be done on the OneDrive for Business side. Click here to see a list of BOD Champions by division/department (preferred method for Emory University users). Emory Healthcare and Emory University users can fill out the workflow form on our Box Migration Page.

Revised Lab Space Guidelines 

  • Effective beginning of the week of November 30 
    We appreciate the ongoing efforts of our faculty, staff, and students who resumed work on campus under the safety and social distancing requirements of the University’s Resumption of Research plan to protect the health and safety of our campus community. Adherence to these guidelines has resulted in challenges. With this in mind, university leaders have adjusted the density guideline for wet bench laboratories from 250 square feet to a minimum of 150 square feet required per individual. Read more 
  • Undergraduates in SOM labs: Spring 2021 
    The School of Medicine has established a process to identify all undergraduates doing research in the SOM and a committee to review requests to return Emory College of Arts and Sciences and Georgia Tech undergraduates to SOM labs on a case-by-case basis. All undergraduates must be approved through this process for Spring, regardless of current status. Read more ǀ Submit a request 
  • Georgia Department of Public Health Daily Status Report 
    Here you will find information on COVID-19 in the State of Georgia including confirmed cases, ICU admissions, hospitalizations, and deaths. Charts present the number of newly confirmed COVID-19 cases over time and are meant to aid understanding of whether the outbreak is growing, leveling off, or declining to help guide COVID-19 response.  Check it out!
