April 13, 2023 4.0 Box has become an essential tool for enabling seamless collaboration among project team members in my department. Its secure platform allows for real-time sharing and editing of documents, making it easy to work together even when team members are not in the same location. With its file versioning feature, tracking changes made by multiple contributors is a breeze, regardless of the size of the team. Pros Box is an exceptional cloud-based file storage solution that prioritizes simplicity and efficiency. With a stable internet connection, files stored on Box are easily accessible across all devices, making it an ideal choice for professionals like me who need to back up their work content. Sharing files between devices on Box is effortless, whether it's between a phone, laptop, or desktop computer. The convenience of being able to start a work file on a desktop at the office and seamlessly access it on a tablet at home is a game-changer for my productivity. Cons While I have had a positive experience with Box, there are a few drawbacks worth noting. Firstly, I have encountered minor user interface issues that can be somewhat frustrating to navigate. Additionally, when uploading medium-to-large-sized files, I have noticed inconsistent upload speeds at times.

Hi" December 25, 2022 4.0 Box is an amazing cloud storage platform that makes it easy to access and collaborate on your files from any device. Its intuitive interface and powerful collaboration tools make it a great tool for both personal and business use, and the wide range of features it offers make it a very useful tool for storing and sharing a variety of different types of files. Overall, I highly recommend Box for anyone in need of a reliable and easy-to-use cloud storage solution. Pros I really like the intuitive interface and collaboration tools of Box. It is a reliable and user-friendly service. Cons One area where Box could be improved is its security features. While it does offer some security measures (such as password protection and two-factor authentication), it does not offer the same level of security as some of its competitors.

Pros O produto é fácil de usar. Atende bem as nossas necessidades e é fiel a sua funcionalidade. Ótimo custo benefício pois é grátis.

It gets the job done Pros Was told about it as an alternative to Dropbox, and I like it. Functionally it is simple and satisfies my needs. It is easy to share files with anyone. What I really like is it is not blocked by our collaborator's firewalls. Cons I wish there was more free storage. No other comments. Review Source KW Karl W.

Entrepreneur Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Box is the best online storage out there" December 25, 2022 5.0 I absolutely love Box Pros I love knowing that all my files will be safe and protected!

Project Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very useful cloud platform for storing and sharing company documents." May 22, 2023 5.0 We chose Box as a reinforcement and cloud arrangement, the truth simply can browse records straightforwardly from your working framework like a record organizer is extraordinary, in spite of the fact that it's comparative to other administrations presently. Box fathoms a part of issues for our organization, like distribution center issues, security of those things, and a assembly put for our group, we will transfer assignments and oversee those tasks inside. We filter client printed material on our computers, upload it to a shared file, and after that thrust it into our company's other program to urge it where it should go. Pros Box has ceaselessly demonstrated to be a one-stop-shop and powerhouse, giving end-users with numerous alternatives for organizations, too illustrating the capacity to see what others have included, awesome for collaboration and venture administration. The thought that the Box can give full match up administrations as well as back up your NAS drives is extraordinary, the finest highlight being the volume of capacity you get. Everybody who works in my office can share records in a common put interior the Box, from where we transfer them to our program, so ready to all include records for clients in one put. Cons One of the most difficult difficulties is setup; there appears to be no mechanism to define which volumes to back up, yet things mysteriously roll back. It's unclear how it works, and there appears to be no explanation or instruction on how to set up specific backup folders. Poor status updates; we have TBs of data saved with Box; we have no idea when files are backed up; Box Drive is meant to sync data rapidly, however it does not. Things eventually get copied across, but we're left wondering how much we can believe our data are up to date. Review Source Mike H. Owner Alternative Medicine Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Box - reliable and affordable cloud storage you need." February 20, 2026 5.0 I use it for long term archive in one section and then mostly I use it to upload things of interest to work through later. Pros When I needed to collaberate with other people, it was excellent to enable and for us all to work together seamlessly. Cons Not always intuitive to use, but I have managed to work well with it. Other than that, I have found it really useful. Switched from [Dropbox Backup](https://www.capterra.com/p/10019994/Dropbox-Backup/) Because, at the time, Box was easier to use. Review Source ES Eden S. Sr Manager, Development + Production Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Never again! " October 25, 2021 2.0 Overall, extremely stressful and a waste of time. I had to start my selects from scratch after struggling with Box for 4 hours, and then having to cancel the business subscription we signed up for. Pros Unfortunately, nothing good to say about my experience using Box. It was overly complicated in design, sign up and navigation, and absolutely zero support on collaboration or file organization. Cons I used this with several different photographers for sharing/making selects and sharing retouches, and it cost me a huge amount of time and headache. The functions are misleading - for instance you can star and comment on files, but you are the only person who can see them, and there is no way to group those files or export that list, even with people who shared the folder or are collaborators. I signed up for a business account to ameliorate this, to no avail. I duplicated the filed one by one in a new folder as "selects", which required me to check them one by one, and the program crashed multiple times.

Pros File sharing function is one of the good features which i liked about the software we can share the multiple files of our day to day work with our clients and colleagues in very simple steps and also take their e signature on that. Cons Limits of user interface and searching tools are less. Review Source MT Mona T. Office Manager Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "4 in 1 " September 12, 2022 5.0 This experience has left me feeling mostly satisfied and impressed with Box. They have a great idea here and it saves time in a variety of situations. For me having a document already imported saves a lot of time, I don’t have to go and search for it or try and remember where it’s stored. If I have a question I can ask and receive an answer without leaving Box. Pros This is one of the best because it’s like having 4 in 1. Cloud management, collaboration, assignment schedule, and electronic signature with Box Sign. It’s not too expensive and all the things I get are used daily. It couldn’t be easier to use for electronic signatures, the documents are already in Box so I don’t need to send them out. I don’t have to directly share something for others to see it, but I can share directly if I want to and it’s easy. There is a message board that can be kept open and assignments can be created and scheduled. Box can open Adobe or PDF, Word, and Google Docs files, it’s opened or read all files I’ve imported. This is secure enough to use for legal documents or client records, it’s protected with encryption and requires little monitoring. Cons Box Sign is easy to use but it’s not as good as it could be. I don’t think the cloud storage management is the best, the other ladies at the office agree. File versions became lost and the overall manner of storing wasn’t great. Alternatives considered [Dropbox Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/) Reason for choosing Box Because of Box Sign and messaging Switched from [OneDrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161304/OneDrive/) This has more for less Review Source MZ Muhammad Z. Coordinator Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review for Box" March 9, 2023 4.0 businesses that use Box can benefit from improved collaboration, security, efficiency, mobility, and customization. Box is a powerful tool for content management and collaboration that can help businesses stay competitive and agile in an ever-changing business landscape. Pros users find Box to be an easy-to-use and powerful platform for managing and collaborating on content. Its features are designed to improve productivity, streamline workflows, and enhance collaboration, while maintaining the security and privacy of sensitive data. The platform is also highly customizable, allowing businesses to tailor it to their specific needs and workflows Cons while Box is a highly regarded platform for content management and collaboration, some users have noted areas where the platform could be improved, such as its complexity, pricing, and customization options. However, Box continues to improve and evolve, and many users find it to be a highly valuable tool for managing and collaborating on content. Review Source SM Iftekhar S.

September 4, 2021 4.0 Overall, it's an excellent data storing software with excellent features within competitive pricing. Anyone can consider this software while buying others like google drive or onedrive. Pros I knew Box from my childhood. I used this software for the free space that offers. In business, I subscribed to a box for storing my important data & collaboration. It was secure, fast & responsive most of the time. It has a great interface & our team could easily manage the software very easily. Cons The software is well built & I love how it works but sometimes there are some syncing issues in the background. Furthermore, many of our employees face issues while using it from their smartphones.

Box provides a wide range of highly competent services at a reasonable price. Pros Simple, intuitive, simple to use, and offers data transfer and networking that is extremely secure. Box also provides excellent value for the money. Although I primarily use Box to store and exchange files online, I have occasionally used its collaborative tools and I absolutely love them. Regarding a document that is being drafted, team members can share thoughts, opinions, and links. Some of these features were progressively added to productivity programs like Office, but you need to use OneDrive to get them (and I don't want to be identified with a particular cloud storage service).

It allows for straightforward large file sharing. No glitches, errors, or pesky pop-ups. Pros BOX is an incredibly user friendly way to store and share large files. In the medical research field, files (particularly large computational outputs) can be 10-20 gb in size. It is very convenient to share these files with collaborators while also assigning different permissions to different partners. Cons I have very little negative to say about this software. However, I was not on the team that purchased the solution, so i can't speak to economic value. That said, for my use, any price is worth it as BOX has been an invaluable tool in my research.

CEO Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid File Sharing System" March 17, 2024 5.0 I have been using Box for many years. As an early adopter, I can say that the brand has been loyal to it’s early adopters and that is really appreciated. I only ran into an issue once with a storage related issue and their support team had to run a script to fix it but they were very responsive as they tackled my request in a few business hours which was impressive. Highly recommend. Pros Generous data storage allowance Competitive Pricing Top-notch support team and I’m talking from experience. Cons Sometimes some files get duplicated so you might have to delete doubles manually but I’d rather have my files doubled than deleted. So far the archiving on Box has been a pleasant experience as I never experienced data loss.

Manager, Operations and Finance Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Robust Cloud Base System" April 27, 2020 5.0 We changed to Box awhile back to move our storage from internal servers to a cloud base system so we could easily access our files from anywhere. It's given us a lot more flexibility as we can work on our files from anywhere with internet access. It encourages us to try to do everything digitally and go green. Box overall is a great product for any business or individual who's looking for cloud storage. Pros 1\. I use the Box Sync feature on a daily basis on my MacBook. Box Sync allows uers to sync folders/files from Box Cloud to your finder so it feels like your just working from finder but it's being backed up the cloud! It's a simple and convenient way for me to access and organize our box files using finder. Our company has a lot of folder/files so I just sync the folders I use the most and I have quick access to my files. Box cloud also has a Box Drive feature which is similar but has one downside which I mention in the Cons section. 2. With Box Sync it's easy to know when your files have been sync to the box cloud with the file icons. 3. Sharing files to internal or external users is simple. Sharing files include a lot of features based on the security levels you want. 4. Another great feature is that it integrates our DocuSign software (e-signatures). I can easily get files signed electronically through Box and not have to log into our DocuSign software. A very convenient feature as I have to get a lot of files signed electronically on a daily basis. 5. Lastly, we basically have unlimited storage! Cons 1\. One con about Box Sync is that it doesn't seamlessly sync files in finder as Box Drive does. There is a slight delay, sometimes a minute or two to sync to the cloud. However, I have to rename a lot of files and I can't just select a file and click "enter/return" on my MacBook to rename files with Box Drive. So I've stuck with box sync for now. But it would be nice if Box Drive would let me rename files easily. 2. I noticed is sometimes when you preview a file it sometimes takes time to load. It's sometimes faster just to open the file to view it which doesn't make sense when a preview should be faster. 3. I noticed is that the name length view is fixed when viewing on the box cloud. Therefore if you have a lot of files in a folder with the same name but different ending, you see all the files with the same name because the end of the filename is truncated. So you aren't easily able to see a specific file other than clicking one the files. At least have a feature where you hover your mouse over the file and it displays the full name of the file or something. It shouldn't require extra clicking just to find your files. 4. It does have a max file size of 5GB Review Source Aliya W.

The usability of this platform is just very simple and easy to learn for any user. The overall impact that Box has made on our business is that it has helped in organizing our business data to a good extent. I have used other software like Google Drive before switching to this tool but Box has been a great tool right from the beginning in terms of almost everything like a support system, usability, scalability and pros, and so on and so forth. Pros Box is a Content Management Software that has enabled different online management of files plus documents from almost anywhere and provides access to the relevant workers. This software has addressed many of my business problems and has improved productivity levels, reduced risks, and ultimately enhanced digital transformation. Cons I sometimes feel that the product should be able to record the whole folders instead of just the executives because it will be more useful. There is a limitation on the file size so when we have a file that is more than the required size so the software won’t be able to sync the file. Review Source GL Gustavo L.
