Box Reviews & Product Details

I appreciate how easy it is to use, the ability to add favorites, and having one place to upload documents that can be accessed by myself or other people that I have chosen to have access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, it can be a little slow to upload documents. Also, I had a little trouble figuring out how to make some folders private and how to allow others access to other folders I created, but nothing I couldn't figure out on my own with a little trial and error. I also sometimes have trouble when it comes to finding documents I am looking for via the search menu, but I suppose this is more of a testament to how much we use this system.

Box personnel account offers you a huge 10 gb storage which is way more then 2 gb storage capacity of Dropbox and same as other cloud storage products. Its android app has a good user interface also with the nice facility of pass code and auto upload option for photos and other files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's paid version gives you only 100 gb capacity for $5/month/user whether other products of same genre gives you much more in comparison to cost like Dropbox & google drive gives 2tb @ $9.99/month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In box many features are likeable such as , the file upload and download features is very smooth and faster then others.

The document opening capability as well as view section is really remarkable and it gives us the flexibility towards faster view of files without actually opening it .

The features of opening Microsoft office files online is very good as it allows to update it on the fly without downloading it and which reduce time and effort as well as a problem of multiple download and then upload .

Version controlling notation are another likeable features where we can see how many times the file is being updated .

I like that I can be working on MS Word rather than a google doc and it still saves automatically to the cloud. Additionally, Box's notification feature is very convenient while working on team projects and lets team members keep track of each other's edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that when a bunch of team members are working on the same word doc online via box, documents sometimes get frozen and we lose progress if we refresh the page. Also, the page break feature is a bit all over the place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An optimal disadvantage that this application presents are its frequent interruptions, which have to do totally with the Box system, and its use is blocked through the web versions, which means a quite significant problem, which requires a update, for the proper repair of these annoying and disastrous mishaps, which is a very notable inconvenience, since it slows down work sections on large scales, for a considerable period of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about box is that It's not from google which is known to be a data stealer. I won't really like if my data is shared with others, to show me the relevant ads. The best feature according to me is the option provided to edit the MS Office files on the go, since I don't have them installed on local laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not so popular, hence a little reliability issue. I don't personally mind trying, but when it comes to sharing with someone, not everyone is interested to use that. a little word of mouth publicity will bring them customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A handy tool to store all your documents, software, files, etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think if there are any cons to this application. I have been using it for a year very safe. However, you have to pay for the space you want. But, if you need a secured storage system you have to pay for what you want. Nothing comes free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Box has multiple features,workflow automation is the one I liked the most. Also it has secured file sharing option so that only intended persons can see the document. Also easy inteaction with collaborated documents is the best feature. So we don't need to open doc in another tool to edit or view it. It reduces our efforts.
