Chek out our technology tip for this week: Box Search and Collections!
If your Box workspace is quite robust, consider using the search and collections features to make your file storage and access easier!
The Box search bar helps you find shared files across your organization using various search filters such as file type, date of last update, or file owner. This tool is incredibly useful when you can’t recall the name or owner of a file - simply apply a different filter to assist in locating what you need.
Box Collections allow you to neatly organize and quickly access files and folders tailored to your workflow. They let you group related content however you'd like, regardless of their original location in your Box account. Collections are private to you, so you can organize your files in a way that makes sense for your workflow, while your collaborators still have access to the shared files in their original shared folders and locations.
