     # The directory where the boxes in this collection are stored.

+    # A box collection matches a very specific folder structure that Vagrant
+    # expects in order to easily manage and modify boxes. The folder structure
+    # is the following:
+    #
+    #     COLLECTION_ROOT/BOX_NAME/PROVIDER/metadata.json
+    #
+    # Where:
+    #
+    #   * COLLECTION_ROOT - This is the root of the box collection, and is
+    #     the directory given to the initializer.
+    #   * BOX_NAME - The name of the box. This is a logical name given by
+    #     the user of Vagrant.
+    #   * PROVIDER - The provider that the box was built for (VirtualBox,
+    #     VMWare, etc.).
+    #   * metadata.json - A simple JSON file that at the bare minimum
+    #     contains a "provider" key that matches the provider for the
+    #     box. This metadata JSON, however, can contain anything.
