Box Reviews: 4.2/5 — Solid Choice

Box has a very easy to use platform that allows us to send and receive large amounts of data very quickly. There are many tools and controls included in Box that can help new users to get familiar with it very easily and quickly. We’re constantly sharing information with our outside call centers, giving them access to their own folders. It provides unlimited storage and you can have an unlimited number of users using the same cloud. The Box “Access Control Model” allows you to easily have tiers of access control to files.

When using it for free, there’s not such thing as an “online only”, so there’s no way to know the files are actually synced. To know this, you have to purchase the license, which can be a little pricey.

This software is being used across the whole organization. It’s a great tool for storing and sharing our project related information, such as documents, videos, images, etc. We have different Box accounts to each department in the company, so every team can access and update their required files. The folder and file system make easy to check the files and, compared to locally stored data, the risk of losing data is minimal. We really trust Box to keep our data safe.

It fits your workflow. If you like to work with a browser or with the desktop app it works as intended in every situation. I dislike to have things synced to my devices and only use the browser when I need it but most of my coworkers like to sync their files and it works well in every situation.

The only thing I dislike is the concept of co-owner of a file, why not only have a generic owner title for everyone? but that's just a minor detail.

Collaborating with people in different projects.

I like this collaborative platform since it allows you to share any type of file with anyone. It also allows you to give different permissions to different people and for different folders or files.

An improvement point can be the internal search, sometimes it is a bit slow.

With this solution, we have a unique collaborative platform at the enterprise level that allows us to share documentation, software, etc, with anyone, not only within the company but with any external person.

Ease to download and save files. Storage space is unlimited

Sometimes data does not save and does so without notification

Difficulty accessing on some computers

It is an efficient software.

Box is the best software as compared to the Google Drive or one drive and the other software. It has some management features that we cannot use easily. The one most important problem is that software, when we shared the large amount of data and documents, it can create the error of our system and our system can't work well so all the data automatically delete. Another problem is that software, it takes too much time for downloading and uploading. We cannot use this software for searching the different functions and application. Another problem is that software, the views of documents are very difficult, and it also provide the bad connection of internet service.

We use this software for every day or any time for the best management. It is the best software for all the users. It has great storage device and help for our life. I use this software for few months and my all the experience is almost positive. I just say that about this software, it's all features are functions are outstanding and useful for me.

When Box is compared to its competitors then it is difficult to use and an expensive software which the small size companies cannot afford this efficient software. Sometimes security issues create and that thing I really don’t like about the box software. But otherwise it has very solid security service and it is also very good uses management software. The only thing that I most like is that it has the great ability to download multiple files in an instantly way.

I really like the accessibility that Box has. It makes it so easy for both internal employees and external clients to sign on and upload materials that we need here at the agency.

Honestly, nothing! This has worked very well for me.

The benefits are that the database is so large, it can hold huge files. It also doesn't take a super long time to upload and download.

The best part of Box is that is very flexible and can work with many workflow styles, I use to sync files only when I need them and avoid using the browser most of the time but some of my coworkers use the browser all the time.

The iPhone/iPad app is not of my liking.

Filesharing company content to work with my teammates.

I love the ability to quickly and efficiently access and share files across our organization.

Occasionally, I run into syncing issues with Box Drive on my desktop. Often times I will update a file and save it, yet my coworkers are not able to see the most up to date version on their Box Drive unless I restart my computer and/or uninstall and reinstall Box Drive.

Our team has been able to update and share various documents and reports with each other using Box Drive. We don't have to constantly e-mail files back and fourth and worry about version control which is really great.

I love the capabilities of being able to store files for personally use as well as letting others have access to them as well, either by inviting them or disabling files you don't want them to have access to. The ability to share these files in departments makes doing work remotely much more secure.

It isn't easy when you have alot of people having access to the files and sometimes the sync is not the smoothest resulting in multiple files

Sharing large numbers of files with multiple people and working remotely

Box is so easy to use and more integrated in its capabilities, particularly the various methods of uploading files. Box really help us to store and share our documents in this software. As box is the great storage cloud software. The best thing about this software is that we can easily share our files and important data to our team members because through this software it is so easy to access and manage such as only view and edit etc. Here it provides the safe data storage, easy access and multiple ways of sharing. Moreover, through this software file sharing is so simple and intuitive. The most favorable thing that I like in this software is that the speed to can download every single file is too fast.

The most disadvantage of the box software is that sometimes it’s lags and not running smoothly. Another reason that I don’t like about this software is that the syncing speed is a little bit slower compared to its major competitors. Moreover, the limited functionality other than the sharing files. Box is so expensive it is not good for small business. But still Box has been a great resource for storage, collaboration and integration.

It's convinient to use, you create a link with the document you are sharing and send an email and since the recepients probably have Box Synced they already have the file on their computer and on the right folder making collaboration faster.

For the purposes I use this program it's pretty good

Sharing links, syncing work files to my Mac.

Box gives us the tools we need to conduct business across the country. It's really quite helpful. We couldn't function without them.

There is not anything to dislike. We have never had any issues with the service.

Box is special tool for file management and it gives us cloud space for storing business content. Any format of file can be uploaded easily on Box and it let us share documents and media files to other colleagues. Automatic sync keeps my important data uploaded on cloud space and enable me to feel secure about my data. File editing is also available and let us team members work on same presentation. Mobile version also work well and give access to my business data from any other place.

Box is cloud based application, so it requires stable internet connection for work and we always have risk of hack our accounts by hackers s in that case security issues need more improvements. While storing or downloading large files it works very slowly and sometimes it refuse to respond. Free version comes with limited numbers of feature, for more storage we must purchase premium version which is bit pricey for our business.

Box is well design application for data storing and it gives us many trustworthy features for work. We used this tool for storing client information and product information. It allows us to upload all kinds of formats such as PDF, MP4 and Zip etc. Box let us share these formats of files easily to others. As my personal experience I used this tool for storing my personal data such as pictures videos and other important data.

The tool has surprised a lot. It is software with reliability that stores any type of file in the cloud with security and with encryption. Synchronization is done in real time in both the PC application and the smartphone and tablet. It's amazing, the software is very good.

I have nothing bad to report on this product. It always worked very well with us.

It helps a lot in performing daily backups of files on people's computers. Each one owns your account and your storage space. The interface is beautiful and fluid.

The granularity of the permissions per file and folder makes a great system to actively work with the way I do it is: For work in progress total access, for reports that should be ready for the customer upload only but not edit or delete. That way is easy to distinguish the level of care you should have in every part of the project.

Mobile apps are not good, but they are not needed for my workflow so no real issue for me.

File sharing business content and collaborating in the creation of reports.

Access control is great, assigning permissions granularly per file or folder is done in seconds and you can clearly see who was the last person modifying a folder or file.

Mobile apps are not great, it's better to avoid them.

Storing data of all kinds and sharing them inside our company to different teams as needed.

I can upload things overnight by syncing my PC without needing to go to any website and I can go to the website to download specific files that I need without downloading the whole project.

I'm very happy with this solution, so I think all is good

Syncing my work overnight to the company site, getting the materials I need to do my work.

The intuitive web app with powerful features that are easy to uncover is a huge plus. For thaose that don't like the Web App, having clients for various devices (BoxDrive for example) means that users can access their data easily. It integrates easily with Office Online. Lastly, the Box API is powerful and robust and lets us add custom apps to not only manage the Box environment, but build out custom tools for our users.

The open nature of Box will lead some end users to self sabotage, either by sharing too much or taking away their own access. De-provisioning can be a problem; make certain you have in place a robust plan. The 15GB file limit seems dated. Although the API is powerful, the rate limits make some management function run too long. Although Box Drive is a great tool, not all the features of the Web App are available. And lastly,Box is playing catch up with site accessibility.

Having data accessible when and where you need it on any device, and making it easy to collaborate with that data. We have leveraged Box for everyone in our organization and have been able to retire legacy file shares.

Box is cloud hosted application and gives cloud space for file storing. We can manage our important business data easily on cloud space and easily access to our data from anywhere. Box is good option for our business because it allows us to store any format of data which let us upload important business documents and other media files. File sharing and file editing provide us single place where all the team members work together on same project.

Box is work efficiently for us but this tool is not unique because so many other cloud storage tools are trending in market as compared by Google Drive or One drive. Box is little bit hard for use because some of its features are complex. Sometimes while uploading large media files it work slowly and sync process cause error. Storage provided on free version is not enough for uploading large business content so we have to purchase storage plans which are bit pricey.

Box is well organised application for file storing and it works as a backup option for us. It let me upload my business presentation data and other documents uploaded on cloud space and give access to my data from any other place and from any other device. I can manage my all professional and personal data easily on this tool and it keeps my data secure all the time. Also compatible for smart devices which another big opportunity for provided by this tool.

I like that it integrates Microsoft office and all the complex applications that come with it instead. I think its a good solution for wanting to use office on a cloud without the clunkiness of one drive

I think it needs a a more streamline approach some of how the files are organized can be frustrating but only to a small extent, it works very well

Organizing information from several co-workers using office

The most important for a cloud storage software is the easy access and it also provide the sharing mode. So, it has the multiple ways of sharing. Hence the file sharing through this software is so simple. It supports all types of files and formats in a more efficient way. The best advantage that this software provides us is that the speed is awesome to download and upload every single file. Hence the product quality and security are as good as the Dropbox. Moreover, it also provides the best content marketing services, there for the number of files we upload and download monthly is too much great.

The one thing that I don’t like about this software is that it took up too much space and we were also not able to get to our documents as easily as the google docs. Another thing that I don’t like is that in some cases, some previous file will not be displayed depending on the format. But to conclude that Box support does a great job of helping without any issues.

Box provide the great content marketing services, there for the number of files we download and upload monthly is too much great.

There are multiple ways of sharing, so it also provides the sharing mode. And in this why the file sharing through this software is so simple and great.

Syncing projects directly to my computer with no intervention after set up, just as easily remove them when they are complete. The file permission system is just great, it can be set up per file or folder with amazing granularity.

Mobile applications are not there yet, it's usually better to open a browser than using the apps on Android or iOS.

Distributing files to my teams

Well, I switched to Box when my employer added an unlimited storage subscription for all employees, making the change a no-brainer.

Box is less seamless than Dropbox, what I previously used.

Cloud storage and sharing of large data files with colleagues and collaborators.

The fact that I can upload a large number of documents without having to go through the trouble of sharing via email and encountering issues such as the limited storage space.

i do not dislike anything about this product.

i am solving the problem of sharing large amounts fo files to many people.

Storage capacity and how well you can organize without messing your desktop

Difficulty in sorting files and finding files between multiple projects

It helped us store all the project related data and files in the best way possible which can be shared with selective people as and when needed.

You can sync only the folders you need and have it available in every device you are going to use. It's easy to unsync folders when a project is done saving space but still having it available in box for whenever it's needed again.

So far everything works as intended so no complaints

Downloading and uploading corporate documents and collaborating with my teams.

Box allows me to access a large number of files organized in multilayered folders that I share with coworkers.

I haven't yet found any problems with it and I've been using it for two years now.

Thanks to Box I am working in my consulting position remotely without any trouble, and with virtually no need to use storage in my hard drive.

Since we used Box we loved to store with this program in the cloud, easy to use, modern and updated. With this program we can easily share files, send documents and multimedia files, as well as receive resumes and all that and more with a single "BOX" program!

It's not something we do not like, if we believe that they can improve and is the limit of space, Box only offers 10GB of free space and other tools similar to this offer much more. Of course, if they want to increase their space, they can opt for a payment plan. In addition they could increase the transfer limit, since their payment or free plans are very limited and this should undoubtedly improve it since it can hinder the work in certain occasions.

Box helped us send important files and documents through the cloud and no matter where we are. The best thing of all is its mobile application that allows us to access the platoform and receive all our documents, as well as make backup copies of our work files, personal files, and even any information we have on our phone. It is also a very safe program because it encrypts our files.

Easy to use, easy to give and remove permissions, It's easy to have someone as a view only or editor depending on the level of access needed. Files go to trash for a set period of time instead of immediately deletion just in case you deleted the wrong file.

I dislike the box mobile apps, I tried them before and still prefer to use the browser

Sharing content between areas of our company.
