From what I can tell, it looks like they used Box to store the most incriminating stuff. https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/MCK-RecordRetention_final.pdf https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/wp-content/uploads/20... Specifically https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/opioids/docs/#id=skbm0255 https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/opioids/docs/#id=skbm... In an email from: Jeff Smith to: Amir Golan cc: Arnab Ghatak > Amir - going forward it's absolutely essential for the team to only use Box for distribution of documents and all documents have to have appropriate legal disclaimers - at a minimum working draft. Please work with the team to implement ASAP.

Distribution of documents is not a system backup. I haven't used Box but if it is a distribution mechanism I suspect it is opt-in, as in you have to choose to distribute a document with it. You could still print or email the document, or use any other service. Box is just the mechanism by policy. The policy wouldn't even apply to documents that aren't distributed.

We use Box to store and share virtually everything, not because it is incriminating, but because sending email attachments is not a secure way to send sensitive data.
