Add an Additional Email Address to a University of Maryland Box Account

In alignment with Box Best Practices, UMD strongly advises against linking a UMD email address to a personal Box account. It's important for account support and password resets, which require you to receive emails, to use an email address that you have control over and will continue to receive emails from. While Box does allow customers to add multiple email addresses to their accounts to receive notifications across various email clients, it's crucial to ensure that your account remains secure and independent by using an appropriate email address.
