What do you like best about Box?

Box has a very easy to use platform that allows us to send and receive large amounts of data very quickly. There are many tools and controls included in Box that can help new users to get familiar with it very easily and quickly. We’re constantly sharing information with our outside call centers, giving them access to their own folders. It provides unlimited storage and you can have an unlimited number of users using the same cloud. The Box “Access Control Model” allows you to easily have tiers of access control to files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Box?

When using it for free, there’s not such thing as an “online only”, so there’s no way to know the files are actually synced. To know this, you have to purchase the license, which can be a little pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Box:

I would recommend Box for document storage and retrieval. I think it wouldn’t be appropriate when you need to associate more metadata with files or some other complex actions. Box emulates perfectly a virtual hard drive, storing files and folders just like you would find on any regular file system. You can really take advantage of some features, such as granular access control, web access and web links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This software is being used across the whole organization. It’s a great tool for storing and sharing our project related information, such as documents, videos, images, etc. We have different Box accounts to each department in the company, so every team can access and update their required files. The folder and file system make easy to check the files and, compared to locally stored data, the risk of losing data is minimal. We really trust Box to keep our data safe.

Creating the actual folder for each customer was a little confusing at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Box?

It has an interface that’s very easy to use. It allows me to view the folders for open projects in a single dashboard. I like the general idea of box, because it’s set up for allowing companies to move large amounts of data with other companies safely, which is very important for compliance. Protection is the most important aspect when it comes to file sharing, and Box has data protection and file encryption, so we feel safe to share information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Box?

Box needs more customization. Maybe adding different themes of the interface could make the platform more personalized. Also, offline sync client needs to constantly update to be able to select folder and file syncing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Box:

I think this tool is very good as a general cloud drive. It has made important advances in compliance across all industry branches. For this same reason, I think Box is well-suited for every company with a relatively high number of files to be transferred. Box is also suited for integration with several relevant platforms, such as Google Apps, Microsoft Office 365 and Salesforce Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Box is a tool we used in every single department of my company, specially in the IT department. Every employee uses it to transfer files securely between outside call centers and carriers, between co-workers and even between devices. As we’re constantly moving information, we need a good file transfer tool to be able to upload enrollment call recordings to use on a daily basis, and Box was exactly what we expected, being able to handle large amounts of data and do it securely.

What do you like best about Box?

It’s UI allows us to easily search and store all the files we want. The management console is very interactive, coming with easy and self-explanatory settings. The web and mobile versions perform very well too. I can upload or download files from different devices by just logging in, which is great because it allows me to work on files from anywhere or share them with those outside of the organization, making it very useful for customer deliveries. Besides, Box integrates very well into your computer's ecosystem. It lets you seamlessly share files via Box from all different applications, both Windows and Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Box?

I think Box could add more ways to share data between companies. I think the sync system could be better. When it comes to the platform tools (copy, paste, delete, etc), I think they could be arranged in a more professional way, as right now it doesn't seem too serious to me. Also, Box is locked into the classic file explorer method of file management. Maybe it’s time for them to work with alternate views, such as tag-based file management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Box:

Box is a great option for uploading, downloading and sharing any file type between people, devices and locations. The file upload process is seamless in comparison with other platforms. You don’t need to attach all the different files to an email, as you only have to indicate the location of the folder and the files can be found easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Box has been implemented in my whole organization for centralized sharing of every type of file, from application assets, technical specs, customer deliveries and even business development plans and internal business documents. It has been a really useful tool for giving us a convenient point of storage, as well as to create a simple hierarchy system where we’re able to access to company assets at a glance.

What do you like best about Box?

The granularity of the permissions per file and folder makes a great system to actively work with the way I do it is: For work in progress total access, for reports that should be ready for the customer upload only but not edit or delete. That way is easy to distinguish the level of care you should have in every part of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Box?

Mobile apps are not good, but they are not needed for my workflow so no real issue for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Box:

A good place to collaborate in a project and to store a team backup of the files currently being worked on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

File sharing business content and collaborating in the creation of reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Box?

When Box is compared to its competitors then it is difficult to use and an expensive software which the small size companies cannot afford this efficient software. Sometimes security issues create and that thing I really don’t like about the box software. But otherwise it has very solid security service and it is also very good uses management software. The only thing that I most like is that it has the great ability to download multiple files in an instantly way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Box?

Box is the best software as compared to the Google Drive or one drive and the other software. It has some management features that we cannot use easily. The one most important problem is that software, when we shared the large amount of data and documents, it can create the error of our system and our system can't work well so all the data automatically delete. Another problem is that software, it takes too much time for downloading and uploading. We cannot use this software for searching the different functions and application. Another problem is that software, the views of documents are very difficult, and it also provide the bad connection of internet service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use this software for every day or any time for the best management. It is the best software for all the users. It has great storage device and help for our life. I use this software for few months and my all the experience is almost positive. I just say that about this software, it's all features are functions are outstanding and useful for me.

What do you like best about Box?

Thanks to Box we have never been so easy to work with the huge amounts of documents handled in our company and quickly and especially safely. Also with this we have saved a lot of time thanks to its good synchronization with the different teams to which the account can be linked, which makes it unnecessary to be transferring the same document from one place to another. In addition Box is very safe in information security even within the same account which leaves us very relieved because we do not have to worry so much about the security of our documents as long as they are stored and backed in Box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Box?

Sincerely we have been very comfortable during the time we have been using Box since this is a service that meets all the expectations, however we consider an aspect against the amount of storage space that has its free plan which can be very low for business use while in other services through the free plan offer much more space than Box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Box:

We are really grateful for the excellent service that Box has given us with its great security and its great ease of use without leaving aside the quality of work with which documents and other different files can be handled, so if what is looking is a useful tool, efficient, complete and that saves you a lot of time that is Box is what you are looking for and what we recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The service that Box has given us has been very useful in safeguarding our documents in a safe way and in increasing the performance that has meant using it. One of the most significant points is the excellent synchronization it has with the devices that are linked to the account and the database in the cloud which saves a lot of time when it comes to keeping each of the documents updated because we do not lose time to send a document too many times while Box we avoid all this process. Also another very useful aspect is its mobile application that allows us to move even outside the company and to continue working comfortably anywhere. In addition another point that we do not tire of mentioning is the great security that has shown us that it has already made us feel that we are really leaving our most important documents in the best hands that care as much as we do to keep them safe.

What do you like best about Box?

The Box software provides free 10 Gigabytes for your administrator to import files in general, bringing in your dashbord the option to separate files by folder, sort by name, size, date. Each folder has the options to share via other software, favorite, make it available offline (download the file to be able to use it even without internet), download the file, renomer, copy / move to another folder, delete and finally information in of the pulp. in addition to these items the software provides security through digital for applications such as Android and IOS optimizing the entry of the administrator into your account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Box?

It has a very big difference between the iOS platform for Android, with the android losing features in dashbord. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
