## Box Shield Reviews
  ### 1. Very good for sharing files and documents in a more secure way.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gary C. | Senior Human Resources Recruiter, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 07, 2020

**What do you like best about Box Shield?**

I like that it makes sharing files and documents safer and has a traceability of "who is shared" and "with whom it is shared." It also has content controls that give some freedom and, at the same time, security to make sharing processes inside and outside the company less worrying.

**What do you dislike about Box Shield?**

Price is not a negative thing, but it should be evaluated by small and medium-sized companies and related to its possible benefits

**What problems is Box Shield solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is advantageous to have an extra layer in the security of the files that are shared on the network, especially when they are documents or elements that must have a certain degree of confidentiality, thus avoiding information leakage, duplication or original copies of projects, invoices or any item that must have a limited range of sharing
