Came for the file storage. Staying for the wide array of features to edit, collaborate, protect, and organize my work.

Pros

Besides being a file sharing and storage software, it excels where other software does not even come close. I like the features to edit docs and files. The integration with google workspace, adobe, and microsoft office make this so essential. The security features are also not something I realized I valued until I started using box. I just feel like my files and my data are taken care of when I use this service.

Cons

There is no beating around the bush here: box is expensive. But also... lots of storage services are these days. The free version does not get you very far. I think it's the same space Google Drive gives you, but again, the features within box cannot be found elsewhere.

I do struggle with being able to find documents, but when I know where to go, it is always easy to access.

Pros

Box helps my larger scale university job easily collaborate and keep things in one space. I am able to access old documents, and easily reformat to update to my current needs.

Cons

For whatever reason, I have difficulty being able to easily find documents with the way that my specific organization has folders set up. I have not used it in other jobs, so I am not sure if this is a universal issue.

Box is fantastic for keeping everything managed and stored in one place. I really appreciate how competitive the pricing is compared to other options. The software has no crashed on me yet and I do trust that all my files are safe. It is quickly accessed through any phone or laptop (or tablet).

Pros

Box provides me easy access to all of my documents, files, and data, at an affordable price with a no nonsense software and universal support structure.

Cons

Great. It's so easy to use and I can do all my backup files and sharing files with clients in the same place so I don't have to duplicate work.

Pros

No limit to file size or number of files and folders for the business (PRO) account.

Cons

If you want truly unlimited file size and number of files you have to make quite a big leap in price from the standard account.

I am very happy with the functionality, and how easy it out to create custom access and share links. The search feature also works well when you are looking for specific documents.

Pros

Cons

I wish there was real time editing inside the tab you are viewing, same as Teams, Dropbox or Google Drive. I have oft had to teach people that they need to open the view only file in the "online" version and edit there.

Overall, it’s been a good experience. It helps keep everything in one place and makes working with my team much smoother. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but once you get past that, it’s super useful.

Pros

I really like how easy it is to share and organize files. The collaboration features are great, and I feel confident using it because of the strong security.

Cons

It can be a bit slow when working with big files, and some of the integrations can be tricky to set up at first.

Box was utilized for my first 2/3 years with this current company. The company as a whole made the transition from Box to OneDrive for Business. As a front end user, I did not see any issues with Box and think it was a great solution, but I believe the company as a whole transitioned to overall integrate more of Microsoft's Office 365 for simplicity and consistency.

Pros

Box does what it is supposed to do. It worked well as a backup solution and I always felt confident my documents and data were secure and easily accessible through desktop or mobile means.

Cons

Throughout my experience with Box, I would say that I never found a negative aspect.

Overall Box makes organization easier for our small marketing agency. We have tens of thousands of files, if not hundreds, and they're all easily found via the Box app and website.

Pros

Box makes organizing our server a breeze and finding files quick and easy. The search function and the ability to filter by file type is huge.

Cons

Depending on specific settings set by the admin, file links sometimes disappear and become inactive. Although this is good for safety reasons, it makes referring to old files a bit inconvenient.

It helped me to complete my work very quickly and not worry about the confidentiality of my files and data. It also helped me in the development of my company and the speed of its performance and transfer of files.

Pros

Experience is good and helpful with Box. As our main work is logs management and analyse the logs by taking it from customer. This work is easy with Box to take logs and to see the issues with easy storing and sharing capabilities.

Pros

2. Easy login if there is a account and can provide permission to each file.
3. Sharing files with short links, handling company data and signatures are effective and not a big deal now.

Cons
