cPanel, Embedding a Box folder in cPanel-hosted web pages

You can embed Box folders in cPanel-hosted web pages on web.illinois.edu in order to allow your website users to browse image and/or document collections. Any files stored in Box will not count against your cPanel storage quota.

If you want to provide a way for people viewing a website to be able to browse the contents of a particular Box folder, you'll want three things:

  • (Optional but recommended:) A specific Box folder to contain the shared content
  • File permissions that include "everyone with the link"
  • The code to embed your Box folder in your web page 

Choosing a folder

While you can provide individual direct links to files that are stored in different locations within Box, you'll find it easier to keep track of where your web-linked files and images are if you create a folder specifically for this purpose.

Creating and Embedding your Widget Code

Once you've selected the folder or files you'd like to work with, follow the instructions from Box.com's documentation at Create a Box Embed Widget to configure your widget and get your embed code.
