In any folder you open in Box you have the option to invite people (collaborators).
- Click the Invite People button and you'll be prompted to select people to invite or enter email addresses.
- To invite people at PATH who already have a Box account simply type their name. If he or she has a Box account, his or her name will come up and you can click on it. If a PATH employee's name does not come up, it means they do not have a Box account and they should contact the helpdesk for one.

To collaborate with someone outside of PATH he or she must have a Box account. This can be a free Box account or one provided by an employer or university. PATH cannot provide a Box accounts unless the collaborator is a PATH employee.
