"Effective and convenient remote file management"
What do you like best about Box?

I like that I can easily work collaboratively on files with colleagues, share files easily, and organize my files with easy syncing between box and my desktop

What do you dislike about Box?

The only downside is when editing excels online, not all the functionality of excel is usable. For example certain formulas and shortcuts that I normally use in Excel are not usable when working online.

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

Box allows my peers and I to share files easily, work on projects together without relying on emailing the latest versions to each other, and sharing certain access with people outside my company with appropriate privacy settings

"One of the Best Cloud Based Storage Platforms"
What do you like best about Box?

What I like most about Box is that I am able to not just store pictures, but I can also store documents, I can share documents with colleges, I can create sharable folders with colleagues, and it interacts well with my corporate VPN network.

What do you dislike about Box?

What I dislike the most about box, is that it is not easily findable as a shared platform on all operating systems. When I am using my iPhone and want to share a picture or document, especially if it something I need to share so I can access it from my work computer later, Box is never one of the Cloud platforms that initially comes up. I always have to select more, and then select Box as a sharable platform that I want to use.

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

what I use Box for during my current day to day work is a transfer cloud platform from my work account to my outside private accounts. Box is the only Cloud platform that can be accessed by ,y company VPN, so when I need to share a doc or picture from or to my work account to my outside personal account I use Box. Personally, because of its features as a Cloud-based storage platform, I Box to collaborate with working folders and store documents and pictures.

"Secure File Storage for Your Team"
What do you like best about Box?

Easily create "trees" of files with main folders and subfolders. Varying levels of access allow you to add in various users who may just be uploading, viewing, or in complete control of the documents. Can grant access to a parent folder and all folders within, or a single sub-folder. Easily share secure links with the knowledge that only the right users will access the information. Favorite folders for quicker access. Easily searchable within all of Box or specific folders. Customizable branding colors.

What do you dislike about Box?

There's really nothing I dislike about Box. The search works great, logging in and adding users is easy. Makes document management painless.

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

Secure file sharing that our clients can trust and can be shared between team members. Can upload small files or long videos.

"Collaboration"
What do you like best about Box?

It’s super easy to collaborate with remote teams. It provides a way for us to securely have all files and to allow all of us to edit the documents from remote locations.

What do you dislike about Box?

It can be hard to format tables and charts without downloading the document. This makes for multiple versions and possible confusion.

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

Coming up with ways to work with remote teams, it is way that two firms can come together to work on clients in a secure area.
