A Solid Cloud Storage Solution for Collaboration

Box has indeed been a dependable cloud storage service for our team, right from easy file sharing to secure collaboration and a high level of integration with other tools. It is for this reason that despite pricing concerns, security, scalability, and ease of use make it an excellent choice for businesses that really need storage and collaboration.

Pros

Box excels in providing robust cloud storage and file-sharing to enable collaboration among teams with much ease. Its ease of use, combined with good integration into popular productivity tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft Office 365, and Slack, makes it highly effective for business. Advanced security features of Box include encryption and granular access control, particularly helpful when it comes to dealing with sensitive documents.

Cons

While Box has great functionality, the pricing for Box can be quite steep with its structure for small businesses, particularly if you have to scale up or require additional storage. There are also slight complaints from users that the mobile application needs to be a little more intuitive and responsive.

Solid File Sharing System

I have been using Box for many years. As an early adopter, I can say that the brand has been loyal to it’s early adopters and that is really appreciated. I only ran into an issue once with a storage related issue and their support team had to run a script to fix it but they were very responsive as they tackled my request in a few business hours which was impressive. Highly recommend.

Pros

Generous data storage allowance
Competitive Pricing
Top-notch support team and I’m talking from experience.

Cons

Sometimes some files get duplicated so you might have to delete doubles manually but I’d rather have my files doubled than deleted. So far the archiving on Box has been a pleasant experience as I never experienced data loss.

Alternatives Considered

Dropbox Business and MEGA

Reasons for Switching to Box

I’m an early adopter of Box and the plan that I got was very interesting so I never really considered using anything else.

Box for business is great

Pros

Box makes it easy to share larger files that we cannot send via email. Doesn't matter if they are in our organization or not. It's a great way to send files.

Cons

There isn't a lot to not like about Box other than the added cost for licenses. But even that is a bargain.

Box Review

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.

Does what you need, straightforward and robust.

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.

Simple and clean. We have developed a process and system using the box cloud, and it has been a game changer for our business.
