A handy tool to store all your documents, software, files, etc...
I don't think if there are any cons to this application. I have been using it for a year very safe. However, you have to pay for the space you want. But, if you need a secured storage system you have to pay for what you want. Nothing comes free.
I store all regulatory documents for one of the medical devices we deal with. It is an amazing tool with good security. You can add the number of people you want to share the data with. There is different access you can assign to different people. Like if you want someone to only see the file you can give viewing access and similar to that there will an Owner and editor etc... You can share your weekly report or daily repost. If you have a team located in different countries all can access it. I have created a separate folder in the main folder of our team for the folks who are new to the organization and who can need access to the training material and software we need for the day to day activities. You can also make admin to someone else to one box folder. A viewer can only see the content inside the folder and he can't change or delete the file. And editor can upload files and make changes to it.
