Better than the rest

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.

The older the berry, the sweeter the features!

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.

Pros

Their Cloud infrastructure is one of the original online storage spaces, which i have used since 2001 to keep my songwriting files secure. 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

Familiarity played the biggest role as i led this project and needed to reflect confidence in my decisions which is hard to do when using new software.

Box Review

Box is overall not user friendly and does not allow multiple users to edit the document, if it was opened by another user. It does though allow for a reliable storage of documents and easy sharing.

Pros

It was organization specific and allowed for easy sharing of documents. It was also a good place to store documents.

Cons

Because it used Word to upload, when documents were shared among users the document could be only be viewed and not edited. It then required a new document to be saved because users could not edit the document at once. It also was not user friendly and took a while to understand how it worked.

Box is my number one cloud storage software!

Overall Box is my favorite cloud storage software. I use both Online and Mobile App and love the seamless use from one to the other. In all the years that I've been using Box, I have never had a single security issue. The functions are easy and intuitive. File loading and transferring is very fast. Box is a very solid and reliable product, with a high trust factor. I highly recommened.

Pros

Box offered the best introductory deal, so I gave it a try. I like the clean interface, ease of use, security, and intuitive functions. Box makes file sharing easy and very reliable.

Cons

I've been using Box for over 3 years and have never had a negative experience.

Helpful for collaboration

We've used it for years to track various parts of our business, with the persona on site and the one in the office, both able to update, without having to meet or even be in the same place.

Pros

Quick, simple, easy way to collaborate with others across distances.

Cons

I really can't think of anything. We mainly use the spreadsheets and it works great.

Alternatives Considered

Dropbox Business

Reasons for Switching to Box

The main reason was pricing. Also, for our functions, Box.com was much simpler and worked much more quickly than Dropbox.
