Create New Files and Folders

To create a new file or folder:

1. Click the New button in the upper-right corner of the page.
   
2. Choose what you would like to create. You can create a new Folder, Bookmark (to any URL), Box Note, Microsoft Office file, or Google document. The options shown here may differ based on the settings you or your account admin have enabled.
3. A pop-up window will appear prompting you to enter the name of your new file or folder. If you are creating a new folder, you'll also be prompted to invite 'collaborators' to the folder. If you do not invite any collaborators, the folder will remain private.
4. Click 'Create' to complete the process.

Note:

• Folder paths have a limit of 255 characters so keep folder and files names as concise as possible to avoid running up against this limit.
• Confidential Data should not be stored in Box.  If you have a business need to store Confidential Data, please Submit a Request and we will provide you with an approved storage location.  For more information, please review the Regulated Data Chart.
