Locker.SMU Migration Update

Inside.SMU
The initial stage of migrating the documents from Locker Org space to the new Organization space on Box is complete. Over the next few days, several OIT staff will configure the various folders in Box and begin assigning permissions to mimic the structure on Locker as closely as possible. As permissions are granted to each folder, an automated notice is sent. Unfortunately, we are unable to suppress those automated notices! The next few days, you may receive several emails from Box indicating that you’ve been added to a collaborated folder. You can simply ignore these messages for now. When you sign in to your box account, you will begin seeing each of these folders in your home directory. In addition, the content that was previously stored on Locker will begin appearing in the appropriate Departmental folders. The process for creating the shared folders and moving the various files into those folders will take about one week.

Thank you for your patience during this migration.
