We recently rolled out Accellion Secure Collaboration - easy Dropbox-style file sharing and collaboration solution.
Accellion Secure Collaboration provides fine-grained role-based access controls, integrates with Active Directory 
services, provides built-in AV protection, and gives us the logging and management features.

Our internal and external users are able to review, comment, upload, and download files, get real-time notifications 
and track file versions.

In addition, our users are able to create nested workspaces with as many folders and files as required, and invite 
individuals internal and external to Harvard to share files securely.

Accellion Secure Collaboration provides a secure and auditable solution for our professors, researchers and 
administrative staff's collaboration with other universities and organizations.

I hope this helps.

Indir

We are hoping that the Internet2/Box alliance will provide an alternative to at least some of the Dropbox usage.  Note 
Box and Dropbox are not the same.

We are seeking information on how universities are handling their end users that are using dropbox.

Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
