You can create folders, Box Notes, bookmarks and other new items directly in Box.
- Open the folder where you want the new item, then click New in the upper-right corner of the page.
- Choose what to create: a Folder, Bookmark (a link to any web address), Box Note, Microsoft Office file or Google document. The options you see may vary depending on your settings and those set by your account admin.
- Enter a name for the new item. If you're creating a folder, you can also invite collaborators. If you don't invite anyone, the folder stays private.
- Click Create.
Things to know
- Folder paths are limited to 255 characters, so keep folder and file names short.
- Confidential data: Don't store Confidential data in Box. If you have a business need to store Confidential data, submit a request and we'll provide an approved storage location. For details, see the Regulated Data Chart.
