"Easy way to store collegiate work."

5/5

What do you like best about Box?

Clean. Simple. Effective. Box does an excellent job of storing files on the cloud so that they are accessible across all devices where you have a stable internet connection. As a college student, it makes backing up my class assignments easy. I am able to transfer files between my phone, laptop, and desktop computer with ease. If I have an assignment that I want to work on at home, I am able to start it on my desktop. Then, when I go to class, I can download it on my laptop and complete my work.

What do you dislike about Box?

The only downsides of Box are a minor user interface issue and inconsistent upload speeds with medium-to-large-sized files. When I first started using Box, I would always right-click below my files or in folders expecting to be presented with an upload option so I could quickly upload my materials. Unfortunately, this is not an option, you have to drag in files or hit the "New+" button in the right-hand corner of your window. But, as I said, this is a minor issue. The larger issue I have is with the upload speeds. When I want to upload files that are larger than just a word document, it seems to take ages to upload to the cloud. Most of the time I have had no issues, but there is a chance that the upload progress bar seems stuck right toward the end of my upload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Box is solving the problem of having too many tech devices and not enough ways of transferring files. It benefits me because I am able to quickly transfer files from my phone, laptop, or desktop computer with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
