My favorite unique advantage that box has is its file versioning. As a songwriter it can be challenging saving updated lyrics though still utilizing autosave to avoid unintended deletion. File versioning combines the two and organizes all versions, with an easy selectbox convenient for final drafting. > > **Cons**: Their workspace is pretty generic, which can be more seamless as a one-stop project management superapp, which is made possible by zapier > > Using Zapier workflow automation, we were able to mimic a google workspace type experience for our project management needs which we chose box because of a 20+ year relationship and its robust list of available integration options thanks to its multi-decade cultivating of relationships unmatched by any of their competitors. ----- ### "Easy, Powerful, and Fantastic for Metadata" — 5.0/5 > **Bonnie** | *06 February 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Box was super easy to use for our Marketing team, we loved the data structure and that we could tag our digital assets with metadata very easily for locating items. We loved how easy it was to share with outside vendors as well. > > **Cons**: Honestly, there wasn't much to dislike about Box. The only reason we moved away from it was that the entire rest of the organization was using Sharepoint which we have to pay for any ways and the Marketing team had stopped applying the metadata to new files which was the main reason we went with Box. If we weren't a Microsoft org, we would have stayed with Box. > > Box was incredibly simple to setup, incredibly easy to manage. The UI was fabulous. Admin backend and user management was so easy. I highly highly rate them. ----- ### "Box works well for storage, but not the best with collaboration" — 3.0/5 > **Pat** | *22 May 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Box storage is efficient and allows for good sharing outside of the company. Easy to open documents and save down in file folder. > > **Cons**: Box is not as great with internal collaboration and simulatenous work as Google Drive making it hard to justify continuing to use > > Box is getting harder to justify the cost as Google Drive is easy to collaborate across internal user and share ----- ### "Great utility for Orgs and advanced users" — 5.0/5 > **Mat** | *19 March 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to connect/integrate with multiple other services and allows for CLI with RClone that allows you to import entire companies directly via terminal. > > **Cons**: 15GB limit and the need for splitting apart larger files can be difficult at times, but it's easily solved with some minor terminal commands. Box really doesn't have any serious drawbacks and seems to have all the features any other service would > > The use of their Box Drive app on both macOS and PC is pretty great. The CLI performance with RClone is awesome. Their support is pretty responsive, and we're able to deploy across our org with minimal downtime. ----- ### "Kaganjo Opinion on Box Usage" — 5.0/5 > **Kelvin** | *12 March 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Box allows me to seamlessly store and share files in cloud. With Box, I am able to collaborate on files with colleagues in real-time. > > **Cons**: Box is among the flawless file sharing tools that I have ever used. ----- Page: 1 / 227\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/90760/box?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/90760/box) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
