It can be used at home, in a team, for organisational departments or be used to create customer deliverables.
Once you start using it, you will want to use it everywhere.
The following are just a couple of examples where the Boxxd digital container myBoxxd, or simply boxxds can be used.

How is it used?
The Team
- Jack, Jill and Bill are working as a team on a project together.
- They have various ideas about the content, illustrations, etc.
Sharing
- They decide to use a boxxd as a container for all their ideas.
- And that all the project assets i.e. files, are also kept there.
- They decide to use Dropbox for sharing.
- Now all three can modify the files, and they are all synced together.
Tools
- Jack uses the Talk slideshow function during team talks in a café.
- Bill uses the Home file for linking major things together, so that new team members can easily find their way through the structure.
- The Jotter is helpful to catch snippets of information and thoughts.
- The TODO keeps each member on track and gives an overview of who is doing what.
Extending
- Later they decide to track changes by using a popular change tool such as git.
- They place all the working files for the illustrations in the Sources directory.
- The finished illustrations go into the Items directory so that everybody can easily see when something is finished, and the files are ready to be packaged later.
