Don’t Delay, Set Up Your U-M DropBox Account Today!
If you have not yet done so, please create a U-M DropBox Account as soon as possible to ensure that you retain access to select documents shared by the Animal Care & Use (ACU) Program and the Unit for Laboratory Animal Medicine (ULAM).
Coinciding with the entire University’s migration of cloud storage from U-M Box (you may also know it as "M+Box") to U-M DropBox, both the ACU Program and ULAM will soon be moving files/documents currently stored in Box over to DropBox.
Individuals who have not yet created a U-M DropBox Account may lose access to certain documents after these migrations have been completed.
Generally speaking, documents that will be impacted by this migration are managed in one of two ways:
Files managed by the Animal Care & Use Program will be migrated beginning at approx. 6:00 PM on Friday, June 25 – approx. 6:00 PM on Monday, June 28 |
||||||
How Files Are Accessed | File Permissions | Migration Impact | After the Migration | |||
Shared or protected links (often denoted with a icon) that you click on via the Animal Care & Use Program website or in other email communications | View or download only |
|
|
Files managed by the Unit for Laboratory Animal Medicine will be migrated beginning at approx. 6:00 PM on Friday, July 2 – approx. 6:00 PM on Monday, July 5 |
||||||
How Files Are Accessed | File Permissions | Migration Impact | After the Migration | |||
Logging in to U-M Box or DropBox directly, or using a link that was shared with you by an individual/group within ULAM | Files and folders are often used for collaboration, meaning you may be able to edit the files and documents and/or share them with others |
|
|
Please note that documents on the Animal Care A-Z website will NOT be impacted by these migrations.
