+==== Box Limitations ====
+
+When transferring your files from Cypress to Box, ensure that your files and directories meet the following Box limitations:
+
+* The size of each individual file must be less than 500 GB.
+* For optimal performance, each directory should contain fewer than 5,000 files.
+* File and directory names must be unique within a single directory (Box’s file system is case-insensitive).
+
+To detect files and directories that do not meet Box limitations, please follow the steps below.
+
+On Cypress, download the script,
+{{{
+git clone https://gitlab.tulane.edu/fuji/trimming-files-dirs-for-box.git
+}}}
+
+Edit the directory you want to check:
+{{{
+cd trimming-files-dirs-for-box
+nano TrimFileDir4Box.sh
+}}}
+
+Update the ''directory'' variable (e.g., change it to "/lustre/project/vthannickal") to match the target directory you want to process.
+
+Submit a job
+
+{{{
+sbatch TrimFileDir4Box.sh
+}}}
+
+After the job is completed, check the log file. It will report any files or directories that do not meet Box limitations.
+
+The document is also available here:
