What can I do with my Box account? 

  • You will have access to folders that are shared with you. 

    • You can download and share documents in these folders. 

    • You can also create Collections to organize your files and folders. 

  • If you require advanced access to create new folders or upload documents, consult with your consortium project manager to request read/write access on your behalf. 

What are the folder types? 

  • When you open a folder, you will see a green, red, or blue label to the right of the name.  

  • These labels indicate whether or not the folder contains documents with protected health information (PHI) or personally identifiable information (PII).

Why can’t I see my folders? 

  • You may be logged in to Box with a different account. When you are not logged in with your RDCRN account, your access to content changes. 

  • To ensure you are logged in with your RDCRN account, check the upper right corner of your screen for the RDCRN logo. 

  • If you do not see the logo, go to members.rarediseasesnetwork.org and follow the login steps.
