Toybox Menu
The Toybox Menu (found within the Game Menu) contains entities, weapons, props and saves available from the Toybox cloud service.
Players can also rate and comment on items in the Toybox, as well as picking favourites. When hovering over item thumbnails, players can:
Favourite the item
Add comments to the item's page
Rate the item as Good
Rate the item as Bad
Menu
Mine
Split into two sections. The In Your Workshop section contains things you are working on, and the Live section contains any entities, weapons, props or saves you have made publicly available.
Favourites
Contains any entities, weapons, props or saves you have favourited.
Entities
Scripted entities, or SENTs, are objects coded in Lua. The entities in the Toybox are no different to the entities in the Entities Menu, it's just that they are downloaded first.
Click the thumbnail of an entity you want and it will download and spawn wherever your cross-hair is pointed. To re-spawn an entity simply click its thumbnail again.
Weapons
There is a large number of scripted weapons and explosive devices available in the Toybox. The weapons in the Toybox are no different to the weapons in the Weapons Menu, it's just that they are downloaded first.
To use a weapon, simply click its thumbnail and it will download. Once it has downloaded you will be holding it and it will be added to your available weapons (accessed with numbers 1-6 on your keyboard, or your mouse's scroll wheel).
Props
The props in the Toybox are no different to the props in the Props Menu, it's just that they are downloaded first.
To spawn a prop, click its thumbnail and it will download and spawn wherever your cross-hair is pointed. To re-spawn an entity simply click its thumbnail again.
Saves
It is now possible to save your game to the cloud, instead of your computer.
Save your map
To do this, click the 
Save Current Map button. You will be presented with a new window containing a form, asking for details about your map such as a name, description, category, requirements (games required to use the map) and whether you want the map to be available publicly or just to you (in the "Mine" section of the Toybox).
Download other saves
To download another save, click it's thumbnail and it will load over your current map.
To completely clear the current map, click 
Clean Current Map.
Using Toybox offline
Toybox requires an active internet connection to use, as it is a website being accessed by Garry's Mod. There is an addon that lets you spawn Toybox entities that you have already downloaded here: http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1086923-Local-Toybox-Loader
