Before you begin
IU's Box cloud storage service was retired on May 10, 2021. For information about cloud storage options available at IU, see Storage at IU.
To access your IU Box account via FTPS, you cannot use your IU passphrase. Instead, you need to create an external password; see ARCHIVED: Create and use an external password for IU Box. When you log into your account, use your full IU email address as the username and your Box external password for the password.
