### "It is one of the best secure platforms for the use of shared files."

June 25, 2018

5.0

I like that I can have everything in perfect order, and share it with other people. Academically it allows me to have access to multiple important materials, guides, instructions and books without using emails or downloading files on my computer, seeing them online. And from the social point of view I like that I can easily share photos and videos with friends and family, all having access to the files.

Pros

I like this software is the safe way to share jobs, photos and files with other people, quickly. And how useful it is for viewing by folders, and the order that allows you to see books, guides and important documents.

Cons

I do not like that sometimes by accidentally pressing some documents, they leave the folders. They should be able to be fixed in these so that the files are not disordered.

### "Just use Dropbox"

April 27, 2019

2.0

Pros

The best feature is the ability to just copy the sharable link straight from your browser toolbar. Most other tools make you generate a custom link, so this simple feature is definitely where Box excels.

Cons

It's slow, clunky, and not as good as other options out there. No reason you can't use Dropbox or Google Drive.

### "It does everything we need for everyone"

December 12, 2018

5.0

Box is great. We have employees that use it with different phones and PC's and it works the same for all of us. It is secure, and offers many features that help our business run efficiently and smoothly.

Pros

I love that it doesnt matter what platform you use (Android, Iphone, PC, Mac) that it works the same and syncs well.

Cons

I honestly can't think of any. Maybe more integration with google suite products.

### "Easy and simple"

September 6, 2022

5.0

I am very happy to be using Box. I wish more of our clients would use Box.

Pros

This was so easy to install and start viewing documents. I am able to save them to the server for others to view.

Cons

I have not came across anything that I feel could be improved at this time.

### "My experience w/ Box"

September 22, 2020

4.0

Box has improved my work efficiency as my job involves dealing with vendors. Tasks usually need large files to be exchanged that was possible with Box!

Pros

The product is very easy to use. Box helped me to exchange documents/files with external vendors. My work-flow became very smooth while dealing with vendors as I do not need to make special request with my IT for unnecessary things that could be easily handled with Box.

Cons

For some reason, I seem to be getting emails every time I log on to the Box. Not sure whether it's the setting or the default feature of box for security!

### "Convenient file storage in the cloud"

September 5, 2022

3.0

It is a good platform if you are looking for something practical to upload one or another file to the cloud and share it with your friends or co-workers. However, it has a very difficult competition in this area, because for more demanding users I think there are better platforms, which offer greater security options, more storage capacity and more bandwidth for downloads.

Pros

What I liked the most is the practicality of the platform for the file storage function. Uploading files to the cloud is made easy as well as the process of sharing them. I think even someone who is not very tech-savvy would use the platform well.

Cons

What I liked least about the platform is the lack of security options offered by other platforms as well as a higher storage capacity and bandwidth for downloads.

### "Box user review"

June 7, 2021

4.0

until the time I have been using it was perfect, I would recommend users to use Box over similar applications if the cost is not an issue for them.

Pros

I like the reliability that Box has over OneDrive or DropBox, but unfortunately, my employee shifted from Box to OneDrive.

Cons

The Con of Box is that the user fee is so expensive for the business version of the application. I wish it was less.

### "Amazing content management program"

July 29, 2019

4.0

Pros

It is reliable platform for content management. I like its all functionalities. It is playing a significant role in our organizations with the ease of use. It also provides reliable security control.

Cons

It was a bit difficult to use when I started using this tool. But sooner it became very user friendly and time friendly program. Now it is working fine.

### "Box Review "

August 23, 2022

3.0

Pros

You can store documents a and other files with ease.

Cons

Cons is that you can accidentally delete your file and files from others and I was unable to retrieve the files could be due to my inexperience with the software.

### "Faster and safer Box platform."

May 2, 2018

5.0

I have benefited from the use of Box because, like other storage software, it has provided me with a stable platform where I can send and receive files with my coworkers, in a fast and safe way.

Pros

What I like most about Box, is mainly its interface, not its storage, because clearly the interface is what has allowed all customers, to have a comfort and a long-term stay.

Cons

I do not like that Box is incompatible with iOS, I feel that this is a very necessary factor since it would allow sending and receiving files from this mobile platform, hopefully they will implement it in some future.

### "Every team needs this"

April 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

This is an amazing software for team file storage. Everyone within an organization has easy access to files, it's easy to share and download, it's secure and the business version has more storage than you'll ever need. Highly recommend to anyone needing space in a team environment.

Cons

No critical feedback to say about it, it's an extremely straightforward, simple and functional platform.

### "A good alternative to dropbox"

September 14, 2018

4.0

I think this is a better solution that dropbox as it's easier to see the history of a document. This feels like better security in a corporation so you see who is looking at files and editing them. It's been a great way to manage forms and versions of documents in a fairly large and geographically diverse group.

Pros

The user interface makes the product easy to navigate. It's a very good solution for people inside a company to allow others to see documents and folders while still keeping them in a secure database.

Cons

It was unclear to me if links to folders expired. Sometimes I am not able to get into a folder to which I had been granted access earlier. It was not clear if the owner of the folder changed the settings. If a user becomes unauthorized, I think that person should get an email notification.

### "Box: A Secure Alternative to other Online Drives"

February 13, 2019

4.0

Box is an ideal product for my team's music experience, and a safe alternative to Google Drive for sensitive files or information.

Pros

I love the shareability feature, and how easy it is to collaborate on projects that might contain sensitive information or material.

Cons

I wish that it was a little easier to understand the sharing hierarchy Box uses--I have sometimes shared folders with co-workers only to realize that I accidentally gave them "editor" access to other files I didn't intend to share.

### "Great Product!"

July 30, 2019

5.0

Pros

It's a great way to collaborate with people who are not physically close to you.

### "Decent competitor to Dropbox, may offer more storage"

August 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's easy to set up and you can basically forget about it and have your files backed up. I haven't had any issues and it gives peace of mind knowing that if your hard drive crashes, anything in the Box directory will at least be safe. I got some kind of signup bonus that gave me more space.

Cons

Could always use more storage. As with any cloud backup solution, there could be security concerns. Also, if you accidentally delete files in your Box directory, they will be deleted from the server (though they may have a recovery solution for this).

### "Pricey secure file storage "

December 14, 2021

5.0

Good

Pros

The desktop integration while not as a easy to set up is seamless once set up

### "Features just as good as the competition and better software integration"

October 16, 2017

4.0

Sharing & collaboration is made easy and secure in the corporate/enterprise world

Pros

Box is just as good at just about everything other popular cloud based competitors but where it stands apart for me is it's wide array of integration capabilities with other software solutions I use (like Microsoft Office, Salesforce, and Docusign)

October 19, 2018

### "Robust, easy-to-use Cloud Storage"

February 6, 2017

5.0

This service was recommended by an external consultant. We needed a robust, simple to use cloud storage and sharing service. Though similar to Dropbox, Box has more features. Very easy to control who has access to documents. Plus it stores previous versions of the document when edits and changes are being made.

Pros

Easy to share documents while controlling access. Can set various permission levels.

Cons

Can get a little pricey if you sharing with multiple users.

### "Amazing Storage Software"

April 4, 2019

5.0

It is an amazing tool for team collaboration, worth every coin.

Pros

Box is just amazing. A couple of things I love most about it are; I can access it right from File Explorer, no need to log in to anything to access my files. I can access my files anywhere at any time, I literally don't have to be at my desk in order to work. It's perfect for collaboration and teamwork It's very secure and has great privacy options.

Cons

Not really a con, but I wish the free version had more storage.
