"Product Review"
What do you like best about Box?

I examined every product utilized, put it through testing, and then wrote a review for it. The majority of the products were new and had incredible new features that set them apart from the competition, which motivated me to write honest reviews for them.

What do you dislike about Box?

User interface could be better and it should be user friendly for new people or unteck savvy. There should be more features in the trial period. Otherwise it's a great product.

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's a great tool and help in solving my work very quickly. By the help of this tool I am able to do smart work in lesser time of period. Takes less time to perform

"Best auditing and reporting software"
What do you like best about Box?

It is the most simple and secured tool and easy to use. The best is that it is accessible from different devices as I work digitally and this has made my life very easy. Now I can finish half the work at the comfort of my home.

What do you dislike about Box?

There is nothing ỉn specific that I dont like about the box. However maybe it could be a bit more cost friendly and a bit slow with larger files and low internet speeds.

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time saving is one problem it saved for me as now I can finish my tasks at home after the research before actually presenting it to my clients hence it gives me for confidence as I feel more prepared with my work.

"Probably an underutilized product with some great features"
What do you like best about Box?

Personally, my favorite Box feature is the ability to lock a given document that is shared in a folder with other users while you make changes to that document so that there are not multiple versions floating around that will later need to be somehow integrated. As someone who edits documents for a living, this is incredibly invaluable!

What do you dislike about Box?

Not much that I dislike about Box. It's a thoughtfully built out software that I have used to collaborate with other organizations to write multi-institute grants and it has worked beautifully for us.

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

Box is an intuitive and easy-to-use software that allows me to collaborate with other writers across insitutions. When we are working on large projects (like grants) with multiple documents and iterations involved, the ability to collaborate seamlessly (and with the security of knowing it's on the cloud) is priceless.

I like Box because it makes sharing files extremely easy and intuitive. When you receive a Box invite, you know right where to to and what you will find when you get there!

What do you dislike about Box?

I really can't think of anything I don't like. Its simple to use, easy to understand, a perfect way to communicate with others across the world! Don't change a thing!

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem Box solves for me, as an independent contractor, companies can send me documents quickly and easily without giving me access to stuff I do not need to see or work with.

"Box office"
What do you like best about Box?

I like that it's very fast and works great even just logging in and uploading files on the web , it's very convenient in a pick up and go kinda way, uploads are fast and simple

What do you dislike about Box?

Well it can become overbearing on the rules and regulations of sharing and ownership, the verification system could do for an upgrade , I was being redirected a few times out of my own files with error reading I did not have permission to view but hadn't even shared the link with anyone but myself

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

Well I'm able to finally get my teams in order and take advantage of my software that includes Microsoft Office along with box drop and a few more features we use , it's putting everything in order lovely which makes for even better business growth

"Easy way to store collegiate work."
What do you like best about Box?

Clean. Simple. Effective. Box does an excellent job of storing files on the cloud so that they are accessible across all devices where you have a stable internet connection. As a college student, it makes backing up my class assignments easy. I am able to transfer files between my phone, laptop, and desktop computer with ease. If I have an assignment that I want to work on at home, I am able to start it on my desktop. Then, when I go to class, I can download it on my laptop and complete my work.

What do you dislike about Box?

The only downsides of Box are a minor user interface issue and inconsistent upload speeds with medium-to-large-sized files. When I first started using Box, I would always right-click below my files or in folders expecting to be presented with an upload option so I could quickly upload my materials. Unfortunately, this is not an option, you have to drag in files or hit the "New+" button in the right-hand corner of your window. But, as I said, this is a minor issue. The larger issue I have is with the upload speeds. When I want to upload files that are larger than just a word document, it seems to take ages to upload to the cloud. Most of the time I have had no issues, but there is a chance that the upload progress bar seems stuck right toward the end of my upload.

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

Box is solving the problem of having too many tech devices and not enough ways of transferring files. It benefits me because I am able to quickly transfer files from my phone, laptop, or desktop computer with ease.

"A vital tool for collaboration"

I think the interface is great. There are many options for protecting, sharing, and organizing your files and version control. It now integrates with almost any other platform you could imagine using, providing incredible flexibility for accessing your files anywhere you need them.

What do you dislike about Box?

I would like the ability to have more user role types other than the standard three and to track shared file usage.

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps our company quickly share files for collaboration, it affords one place where we can keep all of the essential documents needed to reference daily and allows us to access them on any device at all times.
