Box Reviews & Product Details

Secure cloud storage that can integrate with Google/Microsoft apps for better performance. Box Drive is also amazing; it mirrors files from the cloud to the desktop directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On the expense side, Box is a little expensive. There is some sort of redundancy with Google Drive because the data backup is at times confusing where the file is stored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, it’s one of the best cloud repositories. I’ve been using it for many years, and it’s quite popular. It’s also available on many operating systems and in all the app stores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing should be more competitive. With so much competition out there, you need to focus on retaining customers. Paying per use for so many apps is becoming really heavy to bear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Box to have easy to access and fast to synchronize the app on the computer. With the search engine, I can easily find all my documents and share them. I'm not the one paying for it, it's the company I work for, so Box improved the file sharing and updating between us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using Box on the website may be a little slow to update and anyone can easily edit folders and documents. It's not something that happens often but it's annoying when it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keeps all the files in one spot and can give permission settings and also provides easy access to documents without having it stored locally. The UI/UX is easy to navigate and the files upload quickly which makes it reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Box can be quite pricy depending on how big of a file you have. If you have videos and large files, it can quickly add up as it charges per user. When competing with Google Drive which is already native to the Google ecosystem, it becomes hard to justify the cost to pay for something that only stores files.

It's a secure way to share files. I've used it for more than 10 years and it's used by enterprise and federal companies I work with - their concern over security and use of Box gives me confidence that my files will not be hacked or downloaded by others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's been a little bit of a hassle to integrate Box with some of my other applications. I generally use Google Tools, which push us to use the Workspace suite, so adding Box in to the mix requires some extra effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a fairly intuitive and performant user interface when compared to other competitors like Google Drive and Dropbox. These often stutter with large files and documents, but I haven't had as many issues with Box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can occasionally hitch when viewing high resolution PDFs, which can be an issue in the design and engineering fields where I do most of my work professionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out most about Box is its enterprise-grade security and granular permission controls. Managing file permissions at scale is seamless, allowing us to share sensitive external links with custom expiration dates, password protection, and access limits. The audit logs and access reporting give our compliance team peace of mind, while the interface remains simple enough for non-technical users to collaborate without friction.

One downside of Box is that Box Drive occasionally experiences sync conflicts or slow performance when handling large volumes of files or complex folder structures. Furthermore, offline access isn't always seamless, and resolving duplicate file errors when multiple users edit locally can be frustrating compared to other cloud storage platforms.

Box features really strong security features, allowing me to safely store files and information away without worry. The Ai summary tool is also very helpful when it comes to finding a file as it saves time in opening everything that might be the correct one. The Ui is also very easy to follow, very similar to dropbox and google, where everything is in a logical place. The performance is also good, and i have had no struggles with storing many files away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The primary downside is the overall cost, especially for individual use. Additionally, all the useful Ai features, like the document summary, are behind a paywall of around £10 per month. this makes it hard to justify for individual use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Box provides strong security and detailed management controls which are extremely improtant to me and especially helpful when I need to keep contracts and other documenta prototced and tge sharing features are a big advatnage when I’m working with regilated, confidential data. The product has continued to improve with updates and adjustments that makes with Microsoft 365 and Google workspace is smooth and straightfoward and its a solid option for business documenta storage helping me keep everything orgainzed secure and properly stored.

The pricing could be lower, and uploads feel slow at times. Apart from that from, I don’t really have anything negative to say. A few actions take extra steps to complete, and it also takes a bit of time to get familiar with everything and find your way around Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Box is its ease of use, secure file sharing capabilities, and seamless collaboration features. The platform makes it simple to store, organize, and access documents from anywhere, while maintaining strong security and compliance controls. I particularly appreciate the ability to share files with internal teams and external partners through customizable permissions, which helps streamline workflows and improve productivity. The integration with popular business applications such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce further enhances efficiency by allowing users to work within their existing tools without disruption. Overall, Box provides a reliable, user-friendly, and secure content management solution for organizations of all sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One aspect that could be improved is the search functionality, which can occasionally be slow or less intuitive when locating specific files within large repositories. Additionally, some of the advanced administrative and security features have a learning curve and may require additional training for new users. While Box offers a robust set of capabilities, certain integrations and workflows can take time to configure and optimize. However, these are relatively minor concerns compared to the overall value, security, and collaboration benefits the platform provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
