# Deploying Box -- Overview for New Admins

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "Overview , Admin Console , Admin , Article , New , Account Administration"}} />

Let's walk through the steps of deploying Box for your organization.

## 1. Create Users

First, enable [silent mode](/en/box-admin-tools/how-to-guides-for-admins/using-silent-mode-to-suppress-user-notifications) on your account so you can create users without them logging into Box before you're ready. Then, [add your managed users](/en/box-admin-tools/managing-box-users-and-admins/managed-users/adding-managed-users) and [invite them into the folders](/en/box-fundamentals/for-users/collaborating/collaborating-by-inviting-others/inviting-collaborators) to which they should have access. When you're ready for people to log into Box for the first time, turn off silent mode. People can then see their folders already set up.

## 2. Folder Structure

Before you transfer your content to Box, you should design your folder structure. You may want to transfer your current, internal folder structure, or clean that up by [planning a new folder structure](/en/box-fundamentals/for-admins/getting-started/plan-your-folder-structure). While formulating your structure, it is important to read [how folder and subfolder permissions work in Box](/en/box-fundamentals/for-users/collaborating/collaborating-by-inviting-others/understanding-collaborator-permission-levels).

## 3. Migrate Content

You can move your content to Box via any of the following options:

* [Upload function](/en/box-fundamentals/for-users/uploads-and-downloads/uploading-and-downloading-files-and-folders-to-box/upload-to-box-with-the-file-browser) (recommended for up to 10 GB of content),
* [FTP](/en/box-fundamentals/for-users/uploads-and-downloads/uploading-and-downloading-files-and-folders-to-box/using-box-with-ftps) (recommended for 10-1,000+ GB, \~150,000 file batches),
* [Box Shuttle](/en/box-shuttle/about-box-shuttle/introducing-box-shuttle) (100 GB - 10+ TB).

## 4. Admin Console Settings

The Admin Console enables you to customize your account based on your company's internal policies. Please explore your options through our [Guide to the Admin Console](/en/box-admin-tools). We recommend configuring your Admin Console settings based on your organization's security preferences and need. As part of this process, please review [Branding within Custom Setup](/en/box-admin-tools/how-to-guides-for-admins/customizingbranding-your-users-box-experience).

## 5. Training & Adoption

After you create your users, configure your folders, and customize your account's Admin Console settings, it's time to go live! [Here are communication options](/en/box-fundamentals/for-admins/getting-started/communications-templates) you can use to form your message to your new users.
