Set Permissions

When you create a folder in Box, the default access level is Collaborators Only. (The default used to be Open.) You can set the access to any level by viewing the contents of the folder, then clicking in the Sharing section in the pane on the right. The choices are

• People with the link: anyone with the link can access the content.
• People in Your Company: anyone with a cornell.edu email address and all collaborators (regardless of their address) can access the content.
• People in this Folder: the folder is private, and only viewable by you and any collaborators you specify.
• Remove link: Only collaborators can access the content. Removes the direct link to the content.

2. In the right column, look under Shared. 
3. A dialog box will open, select People in this Folder (or the level it is currently set to)
4. Under Access Type, select the level of access you want.
