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"
What do you like best about Box?

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.

"Box is an excellent choice if you are looking for a proper cloud storage management"
What do you like best about Box?

I think that the Box platform has a wide variety of storage tools that facilitate the management of information for any project. We also like the security it provides when sending confidential information. This platform can see who has access to company folders and assigns each person, according to their position to the information they can access. One of the points that favor the correct functionality of this platform is that when sending information of interest to any person in the audience, they don't need to have an account on the Box platform.

What do you dislike about Box?

Box is a platform that has brought great things to our organization. However, we must recognize that it has a learning curve a little long, and it is necessary to have previous training to be able to handle smoothly each of the tools it provides through the intuitive interface it has. And customer support does not offer much benefit to the platform since they take a long time to respond to the requirements being made. Therefore the process of adapting to the platform becomes a somewhat unpleasant experience.

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

One of the most important benefits we have had thanks to the Box platform is the problem of accidental leakage of personal assets; today, we have much more peace of mind when sending any of these unique assets through the platform. As well as we have also had an improvement in our desktop computers since all the information and data collection, or at least most of it, is uploaded to this cloud storage, i.e., we have everything in one place.

"Perfect storage tool for remote workteams"
What do you like best about Box?

l love its drag and drop feature. Box is customizable and very good for remote businesses. I use it all the time storing HR paperwork, and employee-training materials. It's perfect for collaborating with other co-workers or users. I especially like the upload via email feature. Use it all the time.

What do you dislike about Box?

Sometimes there's a little delay in showing the uploaded via email files, but that doesn't happen very often, so it isn't that big of a deal.

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

We use it to store files on the cloud (videos, documents, audios, etc.) and collaborate with others. It's very useful! Everybody can download and upload files when we work on the same project. In my role, I use it to store candidates' tests, HR paperwork and testing materials.

"I save a lot of files, it is excellent and works powerfully"
What do you like best about Box?

Box's large storage capacity, secure environment and easy-to-use interface made it easy for me to get started with the service and start using it to store and access my most important information. This program has provided me with secure storage for my massive data, and the data I have collected can be distributed to various audiences. It is easy to use and works with a variety of platforms. It has fully backed up the projects.

What do you dislike about Box?

I am not sure if it is a problem with the software or my computer, but it is prolonged without question when I install the software or start it for the first time.

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

We are creating a fantastic internal storage tool based on Box folders so that we can easily locate and share any file with anyone in the organization. Customer project models can be stored here seamlessly. We are working on large collections of documents that will be shared with a large number of people via email, so this works great, and I appreciate the concept of being able to store them without worrying about them being hacked or stolen.
