What do you dislike about Box?

The mobile app is not user-friendly and doesn't allow selecting multiple objects and downloads. It doesn't display Excel files in their correct formatting. Files abruptly close if trying to zoom.

It gives the basic tools that a cloud platform gives. Isn't like a star performer but barely manages to get past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Box?

I got 50GB of free storage with the phone I purchased. This is truly free. (unlike mega which gives 15 GB free, but the free storage you earn will expire and if your storage exceeds the 15 GB, you lose data or you have to go for a paid plan). It doesn't just disappear after a year or so. There's a limit to the size per file uploaded, but that is fine.

There is an automatic backup option for photos, but I wouldn't switch this on.

There's a pdf reader if you upload your projects in pdf format.

The starter pack will upgrade you to single file upload size of 2GB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Box?

Sometimes the upload gets stuck and you have to reupload everything again.

Videos don't stream properly at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I think a free cloud storage offering 50GB without any ads itself is a great thing. If you want more you could go for paid packs (which are cheaper than most competitors) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Box?

Yo, so I've been using Box.com for a while now, and it's pretty dope!

What I like best about Box.com is the seamless file sharing. 🚀 Sharing documents and files with friends and colleagues is a piece of cake. No more wrestling with email attachments or dealing with confusing permissions. You just send a link, and boom, they're in. It's like having a secret handshake to your digital stuff. Plus, the collaboration features are a game-changer. Working on projects with my crew is smooth as butter, and it's all in real-time. No more waiting for the latest version to arrive in my inbox. Box.com just makes teamwork feel like a breeze. 🙌😎 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Box?

What I'm not too thrilled about with Box.com is the limitations of the free plan. 🤨 It's understandable that they need to make a buck, but the free version can feel a bit restricted, especially if you're handling a lot of files. If you need more storage or features, you'll have to shell out some cash. But hey, I guess it's the price for the convenience. And to be honest, it's not crazy expensive. So, it's more like a minor gripe rather than a deal-breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Box cloud tackles file organization chaos, making my digital life a breeze. No more scattered files; it's like having a virtual librarian. Sharing and collaborating? Super easy. It's my trusty online sidekick. 📦👨‍💻🚀 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
