Box Reviews & Product Details

I like that you can share documents, excel, PowerPoint, etc., all through Box and have it be in one single place. Being able to use it as a protected place to store documents is also great and I feel safe knowing that my documents are secure. Other websites do not provide this feature for cloud storage type sites. Working in the healthcare field and having some information that may contain private information, it is comforting to know that BOX requires 2-factor authentication within our company's website.

I'm not too fond of that Box requires me to log in through two different avenues when editing. I believe this is because it has two-factor authentication, but I would prefer to click on a document and in the same window, it would allow you to begin editing it. I also would enjoy if Box allowed for color-coordinated folder organization on the main screen to help keep things more organized within folders, etc.

Using Box allows my colleagues and I to work on documents simultaneously even when we are not located in the same area. We are allowed to continue to meet our goals and actively see what one another has contributed. The real-time tracking of edits, sharing, etc. allow us to see who has worked on what and make sure that all members are carrying their weight. Additionally, I have realized how important it is to have all documents pertaining to one project in the same place, and Box satisfies this.

I like that it's sort of like one drive where I can access files anywhere, but anyone who is apart of that box "organization" or group can add files that might be important!

I think that the overall organization of box could be better, more appealing to the eye

I am able to view files with my organization, download any files I need in my personal workspace and collaborate by sharing my own. I am eliminating the use of 100 different apps for one organization

Box provides excellent security for storing shared files. In addition, features such as commenting and tagging collaborators improve productivity on projects. Lastly, it is extremely convenient to have multiple options for editing documents, such as Box edit, online, or Box drive.

Occasionally emails end up in the junk folder when tagging or are delayed in sending. However, this may be an issue with the email account.

We work across multiple projects with hundreds of shared documents. Box enables us to safely store information in a shared space to boost productivity on projects.

Safe and secure data uploading and downloading to store your client details and other documents.

There is no single pointof view to dislike the application.

A centralized repository of documents that can be shared via the internet plus user restrictions and control can be applied simultaneously.

Highly useful ability to link to our work server and the feasibility to create links to share documents without always having access to the server anywhere.

So far, it's widely different from Dropbox, but not many downsides.

The ability to create links to share documents without always having access to the server anywhere.

I like how easy it is to sync files uploaded to Box across computers and users at the small nonprofit where I work. Since working from home during COVID-19, having a quick and easy way to share files is more important than ever before. Box helps to make this happen. I also liked the ability to use google documents within the software, as well as other types of files such as PDF documents; jpeg, png, and other photo files; and videos. Videos were also quick to upload and did not take up too much space on the drive.

I have not found any major downsides of using Box. My only complaint is that it's hard to collaborate on files with people outside of my organization. We still have to use google documents in order to work with external collaborators.

Easy collaboration during COVID-19 is the biggest benefit of Box. I can work on a document and then my co-worker can update the same document with no lag time between the documents syncing on someone else's computer.

It keeps our sensitive data secure, and it is easy to share within the organization.

The main dashboard is cumbersome - the search and organization could be more advanced.

Data security.

Box makes collaboraiton seamless! With the current landscape, it's important to collaborate efficiently and Box allows teams to do just that! Overall pleased with the software. I also like that the software offers all of the document formats that I work on and look for. I also like that there's a notifications feature that let's me know which updates have been made.

Version control would be the main feature that I dislike. At times, it becomes difficult to find the versioon that I am looking for. I also wish that the User Experience (UX) was a bit more reobust. At times I feel like the documents and information that I need can be hard to locate. When I need an important document, it has become challenging. Thinking about how this can get solved. I also dislike that Box can't be a desktop app for neither my PC or my Mac

I am working on collaborating efficiently with the teams I work with on a day-to-day basis. Furthermore, I am able to solve the pain points that other software programs give me. I have realized that some of the benefits stem from being more productive and working with my team members who love to collaborate! When we need to work on a document together, it becomes easier to do so rather than more difficult. Overall, the benefits that I have gotten from Box have been greater than the cons! I recently chatted with a coworker on how much easier our lives have gotten! Even our desktops are less crowded.

The most helpful thing about Box is that we can share files easily within our team and outside our network. It is very user-friendly and I would recommend it to other companies. I have previously used Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive. I prefer Box over those now, because of its capabilities and layout. The link sharing is one of my favorite features, along with the moving and copy folders into multiple destinations within BOX.

I dislike the BOX app sometimes, it can be glitchy when uploading files. I love the BOX desktop and MAC app. I find the app harder to navigate and only use it to upload photos from my phone into the app. When first being introduced to BOX, I was unsure how to navigate it but once you follow tutorials and such it is much easier.

It is allowing our team easy access to our projects, notes, and files wherever we are. Working from home or the office, allows us to share and streamline our work. With a variety of our clients across the country, this allows for one hub regardless of emails and such to access our work. Google Drive can be tricky sometimes if you do not have a Gmail whereas Box allows you to access files with any email once granted permission.

I love the ability to manage files and documents both online and on my desktop. I also really like the fact that you can share links and invite others to collaborate.

Invites others to collaborate doesn't seem to work via mobile devices.

An issue I seem to have a lot is clients say there are not able to login and create a user name if done via a tablet or mobile device.
