Box Reviews: 4.2/5 — Solid Choice

I like how all files are consolidated in one place - makes access and organization easier.

Some of the details and formatting seem unnecessary

Organizing lots of files and information in one place - benefits include having a wide access across the company so that all employees are on the same page.

Love that I can share files secure with clients and have them open them easily.

Initially getting clients used to the secure file share can be a headache. But overall no issues

Secure file sharing with clients

I like that I can access my box from anywhere and even directly from my desktop.

The login process for my organization makes me have to answer a call before logging in every time. I know it’s added security but perhaps there is a better way.

Securely Sharing large files. Easy access to business files anywhere.

Box can hold a diverse amount of documents and records. It overlaps with other types of documents in Microsoft office that makes its easily accessible and easy to share with other co-workers. Our computers were linked with our box account and every time we opened a new excel, word document it would automatically connect to our BOX account.

I don't have any negative reviews on this platform, it is a great way to maintain organization with many parties. It is a very useful method to share and edit document.

Working at a non-profit we had to maintain fund records, donor records, and campaign information in the files we kept in box. Box made it easy to upload these documents when asked to upload by director and campaign manager.

I find Box easy to use and as an individual and team we store and share information here. It automatically syncs and updates.

There is not anything I dislike about Box.

Benefits are that we’ve all been able to securely store content and have a commonly used repository.

I like that box is seamlessly integrated into our customer relationship management system and is easily used to open all of the documentation that is required for our applications. I can usually rely on Box to work effectively and rarely have technical issues. I can easily share the link of documents that I am reviewing with other coworkers in order to collaborate more effectively and get answers more quickly.

One thing that I don't like is that sometimes the system gets overwhelmed and although a tab will be opened to review a document uploaded via Box, it will be blank. Sometimes I will have to refresh the page multiple times or sign back in to get it to work. This happens very rarely and when it does, it is a quick fix to get the system back to functioning normally. Other than this small issue there are really no other large issues that I have ever encountered.

The business problems that we are solving with Box is the ability to carefully store applicant documentation and make them easy to access for all parties. With Box we can ensure our applicants that their documents are secure but at the same time they are still easily accessible to company employees for review.

I use Box routinely for sharing files with colleagues, friends, and classmates. The web based platform makes it easily accessible from anywhere and convenient for collaborating on documents. The additional layer of security of data encryption when moving to and from the cloud is a comforting feature.

I think that the price/amt. of space is more than other comparable platforms. However, for the simple purposes of my use, I really don't have any other complaints.

Added organization and backup. It works great for those of us that like to, or sometimes have to, work remotely.

Ability to edit documents within the site itself with Box edit. Live updates to documents and version control.

Sometimes sharing settings can be confusing and difficult to restrict at certain levels.

Collaborating on manuscripts, uploading secure documents for viewing. Streamlined storage for needs.

Box offers a great system for storing files, sharing files with others, and communicating about those files. It is the best system I have used for these purposes.

Box sometimes takes a little while to update, but other than that, there aren't any other things that I dislike about the program.

We solve problems related to collaboration and sharing files with Box. We've realized the benefits of being able to have multiple team members look at files, download them, and use them in their work.

- the ease of file sharing - secure - can work on computer and mobile - supports any file type

- nothing so far, everything has been really great

- collaborating easily - sharing files easily - accessing files anywhere

It is great for cloud storage and does what you would expect. Ease of upload

The desktop connection app is not good at all. Very unreliable

It has helped with an ease of shared files

Free 10 GB storage space on sign up. Easy to use and navigate.

Minimum requirement of 3 users per account and maximum of 10 people with starter plan.

Large files can be shared with multiple people. Files can be previewed without downloading. Easily shareable links. Automatic version control with older versions saved for future reference. As with other popular cloud services, you can create new documents from Box's website app, but an added benefit with Box is the ability to assign tasks to certain users, which eliminates the need for task management software for small teams. Box offers mobile apps for both iOS and Android devices, and you can do more than just view files from the app. You can upload photos, videos and other files from your mobile device to Box, which makes them immediately available to others, so you have even easier ways to collaborate.

I really liked the accessibility and ease of using it

Sometimes it was hard for other used to get to it

Sometimes it wouldn’t update my files for others to see

I appreciate getting email updates when files or folders are shared with my account; it means I don't need to constantly check-in to the website to find out when things I'm waiting on are sent my way. I also like being able to track when the files/folders were last updated to make sure work is being done promptly.

My box account is organized through the University I work for, and I dislike that I can't share files with individuals outside of the University (even if they have their won box account).

Box helps ensure that employees are working on the most up-to-date version of a document or group project. It helps avoid duplication of effort, and also is great for tracking how recently work is being done in the platform.

I like how I can download music as well as documents and share them with others

I dislike the fact that I have to download every item before using them off of Wi-Fi

Sending and receiving documents and music(mp4)

Easy access to all my documents and the ability to share documents and folders securely with my team.

I honestly can’t think of anything to dislike about Box.

Box allows us to manage our files and adjust security settings as needed

The software is great and easy to navigate. Whenever I need to easily access a file I use box more.

Nothing for right now. Box is perfect for the business on the go

Storing client files, personal records, etc. I also use it personally at home for home business with att

The price is very reasonable for lots of storage. It is also very simple to use among groups.

It is difficult to share Box files with those who are not part of your organization.

It has made storing and sharing files with colleagues very simple.

The only way my company allows employees to share files outside of the firewall.

The speed can sometimes be lacking. This might be due to the VPN.

Able to receive confidential information from a customer instead of through the mail. Much faster.

El box puedes compartir archivos a diferentes personas ya sea alguien en especifico o en publico por ejemplo en grupo de trabajo mientras se va avanzando uno puede actualizarlo en el mismo box así los demás pueden verlo o ir actulizandolo. El almacenamiento podemos guardar una cantidad determinada de archivos,vídeos, música, fotos etc.

Cuando se esta editando un archivo en box compartido, algunas veces crea conflicto por varias personas que están actualizando al mismo tiempo. Algunos archivos subidos no se logra visualizar(World,excel,powe point, o algunos videos es decir hay que tener que descargarlo para poder verlo.

Los Almacenamiento y administrar fácilmente todo su contenido en línea. También permite a los usuarios compartir archivos al instante y acceder a documentos desde cualquier lugar. No importa el dispositivo, obtenga acceso rápido y fácil a documentos, planes de proyectos, presentaciones y vídeos.

I like the ease of creating new folders and being able to control the access so simply.

Sometimes I dislike that searching on the browser version feels a little bulky and the advanced search options seem like they need some updating.

Box makes everything available so simply! I don't have to ask anyone for a copy of an invoice, I can just find it within Box and that saves so much time and confusion!

I like having the ability for multiple people to be able to utilize documents in the same space.

I don't like that documents must be locked and unlocked and the version control issues.

Document sharing and editing

I love how I can upload files easily and effectively.

I wish this was available for all devices.

Uploading and file sharing.

We like Box since its free plan can offer much more than other accommodations in the cloud. It has been easy to use for our company and for the personal use of each worker. You can access and navigate easily through its interface. You can install the tool on your computer or a mobile application where you can access the cloud and synchronize your files in real time wherever you are.

From Box we can mention only three things that we do not like. The first one: It is the limit that free accounts have to upload files of only 250MB The second: The limitation of some essential functions that you can only use if you have a payment plan. And the third and the last: It is that we can not protect the shared files. Of rest we have nothing more to say and we believe that if they improve this tool can be even more complete.

Box has given us access to our files, edit them, share them, monitor them and synchronize them in different devices, something that allows us to work comfortably from anywhere, something that for us has been very important since our company needs to deliver files, designs, brochures with other employees or customers. On top of that, it helps us to easily protect it with two-factor authentication. It is a modern tool, with a clean and beautiful interface, which makes it pleasant to see when working.

I work on a large research team that has many different locations, so it's a super easy way to share work. I like that you can edit documents "online" and they upload immediately to box, so you can be collaborative without having to constantly re-upload new documents!

Sometimes trying to get a document to go online is a little tempermental - recently I've had to use Internet Explorer to open it instead of my default Google Chrome.

I've realized the benefit of group projects, having multiple people working on different things, the accessibility of files, and the security of your files that you upload since they have two-factor authentication which I love!

The accessibility of retrieving documents and sharing with other departments across campus. The storage of documents for ease of sharing.

Nothing as of yet, but I wonder how complicated the migration of docs will be for our department.

Business problems being solved are related to sharing easier and the benefits are there is less reliance on using email for retrieval of time sensitive materials

The ability to alter sharing permissions in real time without changing and resending a link is awesome!

Compared to similar services I don't have really any complaints.

Fast uploading/ downloading. Easy sharing. Great way to organize shared content and whatnot.

Delivers on what it says it delivers. Easy to use, good amount of storage without having a premium account

Nothing really to add here, didn't have any issues

Needed easy way to share photos/organize photos/videos with clients

I can easily upload and view material from colleagues without taking up space on my desktop or searching for it

Searching can be difficult if you don’t have access to a file you’re looking for

It’s user friendly for everyone and the entire team has access to the same material whenever they need it

I love how easy it has made accessing my files from anywhere.

Granting access to others took a bit to figure out but that was probably more of a user error.

Securing our files, while being able to have them accessed from anywhere, at any time. The price has been a great feature as well.
