Box discontinued support for Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) & 10 (IE10) last fall due to security vulnerabilities with these browsers.

Starting today, UC Berkeley Box users can opt into the new Box web experience that offer the following improvements:

Watermarking can help deter unauthorized re-sharing of sensitive information in your Box account. When you turn on watermarking for a file, it places a semi-transparent overlay of the current viewer's email address or IP address (depending on whether the viewer is logged in or not), as well as time of access across the document's contents

Document scanning provides an easy way to connect physical documents with digital work environments. Simply scan a document with your iPhone's camera and you'll be able to share and collaborate on the file just like you would with any other document in Box.

Box will be discontinuing support for Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8) on December 31, 2015. As of January 2016, Microsoft will no longer support updates for IE 8, meaning that Box users on this browser will have a poor experience because certain features will not work as expected. Moreover, Microsoft will stop issuing out security patches for IE 8 making the browser vulnerable.
