Box

Pros

As a tutor and a researcher, I love being able to upload videos of lesson plans and lectures so that my team and those I am working for are able to look back on what I said. Another thing I love about Box is how you can share multiple files with anyone you want and you are able to view who has downloaded something to maintain privacy and confidentiality. Box is especially useful for big groups of people. Everything is extremely accessible and easy to learn how to use. I recommend Box to my colleagues in research who want a safe way of maintaining confidentiality in research projects.

Cons

I do not have any problems with Box so far and I have been using Box for most of my college experience. I have used it for research, tutoring, and collaboration projects.

Pros

Box is a cloud storage and collaboration platform that offers a range of products for individuals and businesses. I found Box to be a reliable and user-friendly solution for storing, sharing and managing files online.One of the unique features is its robust security policy. It provides strong encryption and access control, ensuring that my files are secure and accessible only to authorized users. This gave me peace of mind, especially when dealing with important papers or confidential matters.The ability of the platform to unify is also impressive. With Box.com, I can easily share files with colleagues or clients, collaborate in real time, and track changes to documents. The ability to leave comments and comments has been especially useful for team cohesion and feedback.

Cons

Currently, Box offers folder level access, allowing users to control access at the folder level. However, some users find it useful to have the ability to set permissions at the individual file level. This will provide more granular control over file access and sharing, especially in situations where specific files in a folder require different permissions.

Pros

Unlimitedspace. With no extra charge. Multiple file types supported

Cons

We had requested flexibility on our licenses since our staff increases and reduces between 90-100 people.

Our admin accidentally added licenses before removing some leavers resulting in an accidental increase in the licenses.

Box would not reduce the number by 3 licenses even though this was a clear mistake.

They tried to make us pay for the remaining period of our 3 year contract. This resulted in a waste of several thousand dollars when we were in cost reduction mode.

Canceling. There are many equivalent services with better customer support and lower pricing.

One of the biggest drawbacks to Box is its limited storage capacity. While it offers enough space to store a few documents, it is not suitable for storing large amounts of data. Also, its customer support could be improved.
