Svetlana I
Executive Director
5.0

Svetlana: Hi, my name is Svetlana. I'm the executive director at the Children's Guardian Fund, and I gave Box 5-star rating. I used Dropbox but it wasn't working out because we needed something a little more robust for our organization as we were growing. I ended up using/choosing Box because they were very cost-effective for a not-for-profit organization our size, and they offered a lot of the features that we were looking for. It only took a couple of hours to learn the system and onboard with Box. We were able to get all of our users login information very quickly. And once we got all the plugins on everybody's laptops, it's been very easy and streamlined ever since. If you're looking for something to streamline your data and have it accessible on different devices, I would highly recommend Box because they check all the boxes.
