Box

Box for New Projects or Project Staff

  1. In MWCS External Share, create a main folder for the new project using the format: [Project Number] [Project Name]
  2. Within the main folder, create sub-folders for the following:
    • Awards, Proposals, and Grants
    • Budgets, Payroll, and Forecasts
    • Finance
  3. Share the folders with the Project Director (if known at the time) by clicking Share in the top right and adding their email address in the Invite People box. In the Message box, include the following:

I am inviting you to collaborate with me through our cloud database “Box”. This will allow MakeWay Foundation staff to work collaboratively with you on the same document and upload and create files and folders. 

Click on the invite and it will prompt you to login. Click on the "Not a Part of MakeWay" link and it should request you to setup a free account, after which you'll be able to access the folder and all the documents in it. 

Please contact your Project Specialist for any questions or concerns you may have.
