Creating Your Penn+Box Account
You must first establish your Penn+Box account using a computer, not a mobile device such as a tablet or smartphone.
To create your Penn+Box account:
- Go to upenn.box.com
 on your computer.
- On the Penn+Box Welcome screen, click the "Continue" button on the right.
- When you are already logged into a PennKey-authenticated web application:
If you are already logged into a PennKey-secured application like U@Penn when you first try to join Box, your account will automatically be created and set to use PennKey (Single-Sign-On). You will not need to go through the account creation process, and you will automatically be taken to the folder or file from which the collaboration or file share invitation originated.
- When you are not logged into a PennKey-authenticated web application:
In the process of creating your account you will be asked to provide an email address. Penn+Box does not recognize individual sub-domains at Penn, so instead of listing your address as "you@sas.upenn.edu", for example, you'll need to provide your email simply as "you@upenn.edu". Forwarding has been established that will ensure that messages sent to the @upenn.edu mail address from Box will go to your fully qualified school or department email address.
After you've entered your email, check the box next to "Use my company's Single Sign On," then press "Enter". Your Penn+Box account will be created, and you'll be prompted to enter your PennKey and password to gain access to the service.
- Add your fully qualified Penn email address to your account.
Contact your LSP if you have trouble establishing your account on Penn+Box.
