To use the nBox desktop application, you need to install and register the application.

Steps

1. 1. Log in to https://mynbox.nus.edu.sg. Click on App downloads > Download for Mac and then save the installation file to your computer.
   2. Double-click on the installation file.
      The nBox window opens.
   3. In the nBox window, drag the nBox icon into the Applications folder.
   4. In the Applications folder, double-click on the nBox icon.
   5. Click on Next.
   6. Select a location for your desktop application folder.
      By default, the desktop application folder is located in your Documents folder and called nBox. However, you can choose a different location for your nBox folder by entering a path to a folder or using the Browse button to select a folder.

Notes: You can select a folder that’s empty or, in some cases, a folder with files in it. When selecting a folder with files in it, the folder needs to be your Documents folder, within your Documents folder, or your previous desktop application folder. Your desktop application folder cannot be located on a network drive or any other external drive.

7. Click on Next.
   If you selected a folder with files in it, a merge prompt appears. The prompt shows the number and total size of the files in the folder you selected.
8. If the merge prompt appears, click on OK to merge the files.
9. In the Server field, enter “mynbox.nus.edu.sg”.
10. Click on Next.
11. In the Authentication – Enter Identity page of the wizard, do one of these:
    • Click on Next to log into nBox with username and password from your computer. If you successfully log into nBox, continue to step 14.
    • Click on Change to log into nBox with a different username than the one from your computer. Then enter your username into the username field and click on Next.

Notes: For nBox, your username and password are your NUS-ID credentials. You probably use this same username password every day to access your work computer, email, and other NUS devices and applications.

12. Enter your password. Then click on Next.
13. You will be prompted for 2FA authentication.
14. Click on Finish.
