Box Reviews & Product Details

Our sales processes and collaboration between teams have greatly improved as a result, there has been a considerable improvement in the management and accessibility of our information. We have been able to streamline our process significantly due to the ability to consolidate all of our sales documentation, including contracts and offers, into one secure place. We were able to upload, organize and exchange files quickly and easily thanks to the incredibly easy-to-use user interface. Our team members can now collaborate on the same document in real time, which has greatly increased project productivity and quality. The collaboration features are also fantastic, when we collaborate with clients and other external parties, it greatly reduces our anxiety about file sharing.

It took some time to figure out how to operate it properly, but after that, it was a breeze. We double-checked that the tool was easy to use for everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Box allows us to upload any type of file and access that data from anywhere with an Internet connection. The user interface is intuitive, and I really like that it can be integrated directly with the computer to save us time, I have managed to integrate it with other tools without any problem, and all the plans it offers give unlimited storage. Thanks to its unlimited storage and useful features, it has helped our company save time and be more productive. Another aspect to consider is that it works well for teams involving employees from different departments or offices, and it also helps keep all ongoing tasks organized. For my day-to-day work, Box has been an invaluable tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On rare occasions, even with my lightning-fast Internet, I've seen both uploads and downloads become painfully slow. I don't know what causes this; these are isolated incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Box is an excellent cloud storage solution for both personal and business use. One of the standout features is its intuitive interface, which makes uploading, organizing, sharing, and accessing files seamless. The ability to collaborate in real-time on shared documents with integrations like MS Office and Google Sheets is very convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Box is reliable, the desktop app is not very advanced. Sometimes I feel the need for more in terms of searching, connectivity, and reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Box is a fantastic platform; it's perfect for cloud storage, it has an easy to understand interface, it's clean and all I have to do is log in to store what I need. Great for backups, easy to set up and use. As our company grows and we take on more clients, projects and team members, it adapts to the document needs. The ability to sync with individual folders streamlines the process of storing, retrieving and sharing files and documents. A well-prepared and professional appearance is an asset to any business.

As far as I can tell, it's the ideal tool; there's nothing wrong with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well I used to really like it and then it got so expensive and they started with these high pressure tactics to set up all these meetings and then upsell you stuff you don't need, then they end up just looking at your plan and making up reasons to double your costs when it's already exorbitantly priced.

High pressure salespeople unilaterally jacking your costs during the middle of the BFCM holiday rush. Random disparate offerings that don't really add value that they try to push on you all the time. Really people? Read the room. Have a touch of class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of collaboration - multiple options for co-editing documents and saving them. Love desktop integration that is fairly seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes features you rely on don't always work (tags will go missing etc.) but usually fixes within a day or two. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Notable and strong security features of Box include compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and FedRAMP, in addition to extensive permissions and audit controls. Box allows me to set up a cloud where any kind of file or document can be accessed by anyone with the simple click of a link. Due to its extensive security features, such as data encryption, two-factor authentication, and custom logins, I have depended significantly on it for all of my projects. Among its many useful document management features include a folder structure, copy/paste, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it has done its job, we are aware that there are free options available that are just as good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Box has a simpler and more user-friendly ecosystem, which permits the upload of files in a more organized and easy-to-locate way. Also, the option of signing documents is beneficial when it comes to having a bunch of people sign a document and not needing to send individual emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I would say is that it takes a little longer to upload files, compared, for example, to OneDrive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Box excels in security, offering enterprise-grade features such as data encryption, secure file sharing, and detailed access controls. These features make it particularly attractive for companies handling sensitive information or working in regulated industries. Box excels in meeting the needs of businesses, particularly in its ability to support large teams, enhance collaboration, and provide secure file storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

However, the platform's full set of features may be more than what some casual users or small businesses need. The pricing structure, particularly for advanced features, may also be a consideration for smaller organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For many years I was a satisfied user of Box, when they had the now depreciated Box Sync App. All worked mostly fine, the pricing was ok, but not perfect Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When Box forced me to upgrade to Box Driver, the trouble started. Box did a backup of my old files, which was good. However as it switched from Box Sync to Box Drive, not all files where transferred. The problem was, I did not know which ones were transferred and which ones weren't. So I had to check every file.

But the real trouble is, with Box Drive, they created Schroedinger's files on my computer. Not all files show up on Box.com, so I don't know whether they are fully updated to the cloud or are on my computer or somewhere else in the universe. The little update icons turned out to be pretty useless.

For context, I am using a 2017 iMac, so the old Mac might not be fully compatible with Box Drive. But if you offer cloud hosting it's your job to ensure compatibility across all devices.

I am now about to collect my files, move them to another cloud hosting and cancel and never return to Box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
