Venn’s integration with Box allows users to access, open, work on, save, and delete files from Box seamlessly from their File Explorer when they are working in Blue Border. Learn how to use Box with Venn on a PC as an end user.

As a Company Manager, you can enable the use of Box in Venn for all users as part of your Default Data Loss Prevention Policy or for a subset of users as a Policy Override.

Enable Box File Storage

As a Company Manager, you can configure which file storage solution(s) are available for use in Venn using the File Storage Data Loss Prevention Policy. Under this policy, you can determine which file systems are available to users and the default save and download locations for users' documents.

To enable Box File Storage for users as part of your default DLP Policy or a Policy Override:

1. Navigate to the Admin Portal.
   • In your browser, go to https://login.venn.com/ and sign in if prompted. Then, click Open Admin Portal.
   • From the desktop app, click the Open web app icon. Then, click Company Admin in the top right.
2. Click Policy Admin and select DLP Policy in the left menu.
3. Locate the policy you would like to change or add.
   • To update your default policy, look under Default policy.
   • To update an override policy, click Edit to the right of the override record under Policy overrides.
   • To create a new policy override, click Add override to the right of Policy overrides.

4. Click Edit next to File storage.

   

5. In the policy editor, locate Box and toggle it On. 
6. When you enable Box, it will automatically be selected as the default save and download location under Set file storage default. We recommend using Box as your primary save and download location if Box will be the primary file system for the users that the policy applies to.
7. Click Apply.

Once you apply your changes, the following will happen for users that the policy applies to:

• Box will be authorized for use in Venn.

• The Box desktop application will be assigned to them in Blue Border.

  This policy will assign the appropriate app to users. Do not assign the application from the All apps page in Company Admin.
• The Box virtual drive will be mapped as a folder inside of Venn Disk.
• The Box app will launch automatically when the user logs in to Blue Border, similar to how some apps are set to automatically run when you log into a computer.
