Box vs Pipefile: Which is a better fit?

Users are able to simultaneously edit a document at the same time and also it's accessible from any location. Customer support has been amazing and their pricing is very fair.

The Search functionality is so bad (doesn't work the way you think it should and rarely generates the results you're after) as to be almost useless.

I love that you can basically store an unlimited amount of data and share it with anyone who has the link. It makes sharing documents very easy and accessible from any internet accessible device.

At the current price point (charged per user), it's a bit on the more expensive side. The functionalities on the admin console is a bit hard to navigate.

But what makes Box the best, are all the features that they layer on top of that. Collaboration, sync, edit, Office integration, great mobile apps, policies, preview, workflows, automations, and more.

The worst thing about the Box that I have found is that when you first open it, all the files that are on it takes a little bit of time to load.

As positive points I can say that Box is a complete cloud backup software with high reliability and security. It has an excellent friendly graphical interface for organizing files in the cloud.

If you don't know what "folder" a document is in - or even its exact document name, the search tool can be very difficult, and almost useless.

I like the ease of use and the flexibility of the software. The consumers like how easy it to use and that is important to me too.

Personally, I really hate this, because it creates problems when I'm trying to sign in on my mobile device or a different computer.

I love pipefile for the simple fact that it's the easiest to use platform for my clients that I have found. I love that they don't have to create an account.

This causes the checklist to be "completed" even though no documents were attached via the mobile app. I have brought this issue up with Pipefile, but the problem is still there.

I also love that setting up an upload link for them is super simple.

Lastly, I noticed that some recipients are sending very poor images since they are able to upload photos from their phone.

Free trial made it easy to get started. Service are great and the product pays for itself in time savings.

However, I'm trying to find an alternative, since I have multiple offices and work from home occasionally, and I really find the "Authorize New Device" message/email very annoying.
