☁️ Box Drive: Syncing Your Work

How your files stay synchronized between the lab computers, Box cloud, and your personal computer

⚠️ Critical: File & Folder Naming Rules

❌ NEVER Use:

📁 ELC 2337 Labs/
📄 Lab #1 Report.docx
📄 counter(final).v
📄 testbench&design.v

✅ DO Use:

📁 ELC2337_Labs/
📄 Lab01_Report.docx
📄 counter_final.v
📄 testbench_and_design.v
Why? Spaces and special characters (# & ( ) @ ! $ %) break command-line tools, scripts, and Vivado project paths. Use underscores _ or hyphens - instead. Stick to letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens only!
