	Box	Dropbox Business	Microsoft SharePoint
Considered Multiple Products	Box RC Rusty Carlson Field Underwriter Chose Box The first benefit of using Box that comes to my mind is the cost advantage. Box is generally more affordable and easy-to-use than Dropbox Business because it eliminates the cost of hardware and maintenance which translates into significant cost savings. Box team maintains, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Box The best user experience of any of the major cloud data providers. As it's not a product of any of the other major technology companies, it remains agnostic to the many platforms / features that everyday users want to have. Incentivized Helpful? Marcus Jones Finance Assistant Chose Box I prefer Box over all of these alternatives because I find Box to be a lot more user-friendly and intuitive. Box has a lot more integrations as compared to the previous alternatives I used in my company. Moreover, this tool has led to an improvement in risk mitigation because … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Box We use both Box and SharePoint for different purposes. Incentivized Helpful? Bianca Oviedo Associate Software Engineer Chose Box This platform was a recent selection but before switching to Box we used Hiver, MS SharePoint, Dropbox, and Asana. We moved to Box because of many reasons like cost factors, usability factors, support team rating, and much more. With my Incentivized Helpful? Rebekah Ryan, PMP Senior Technical Project Manager Chose Box Box and its competitors are all quite similar in their filesharing and storing capabilities. I think the closest, most similar product would be OneDrive, which I use quite often. Google Drive provides a bit more of real-time updating and version control of documentation that I … Incentivized Helpful? Christopher Boutros Senior Financial Systems Administrator Chose Box Box was selected prior to me starting with the company. We eventually switched to Sharepoint because of the cost savings, but otherwise, we would have preferred to stay on Box. OneDrive did not stack up to Box because it was determined that it was best suited for storing work … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Project Manager Chose Box Box is better for large file sets than Dropbox, and doesn't have the collaboration abilities of Sharepoint (But that's not a negative! Sometimes it's just not needed). Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Box Box was the most versatile and cheaper of these options, also had more granular admin capabilities and platform agnostic (whether your are using MS Office or Google Docs). Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Box Box is infinitely more reliable and easy to use, without the sometimes days-at-a-time delay when the site was down, nor the data loss we experienced when our content was housed in SharePoint. Our day to day workflow has been hugely positively impacted by the switch to Box. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Box Dropbox trails built in platform players like Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive from built in integration with services. However, the online interface and collaboration tools are better designed than the other platforms. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Box My organization selected Box because it's a product that many organizations use, so it was easy to get users up to speed and collaborating together. The interface is very user friendly and intuitive. This has saved us time and effort in allowing users to become proficient in … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Box Box was a good platform, to begin with as the team was growing, and also since we did not have much data. Box was user-friendly and had sync options that we needed. It also did not have a lot of the other options in G Suite that was not required for use at the time. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Box Box is more user-friendly since most of its features are simpler and easier than OneDrive, which has many add-on features. Files in the Box sync folder will sync automatically and can be available for phones and tablets. GitHub users commonly share, and document code sources … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Box Back when the selection for Box was being decided, Office 365 and the online suite of products were not well developed yet. However, that is no longer the case. Office 365 and the Microsoft stack make way more sense and there's no need to go with Box. OneDrive has covered all … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Former Employee Chose Box SharePoint is unusable and nobody should have to use it who isn't being forced to use MS applications by their employer. Drive is great, and for use cases less important/critical, I'd go with them as the free alternative for my storage needs. Incentivized Helpful? Stephen Wittmaak Media Associate Chose Box Although not as well known as Dropbox, Box definitely holds its own and is much more effective if you're looking for one solution for working with outside agencies. Incentivized Helpful? Maddie Sedgwick IT Support Specialist Chose Box We went with Box because it has the right set of tools according to our needs. It is reliable, economical and provides the best and interrupted service. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Box In the end we selected Google Drive for our primary storage and Box as the backup. OneDrive and Dropbox did not fit our I.T. systems model. Box is reliable, so we do count on them to provide needed security for critical data. Incentivized Helpful? Jonah Dempcy Web & Mobile Developer Chose Box We use Dropbox and Drive as well. However, Box has become our go-to and the canonical standard that we use almost exclusively at this point. We simply use Dropbox and Drive because some customers prefer it, and we like to have the flexibility to meet client needs and use their … Incentivized Helpful? Vin Campbell Owner Chose Box I was (and am) a very early cloud adopter. I've had accounts with all of the major players since their inception - some even on direct invite! That said - I've used most all of the cloud services, and I've found that most offer the same and/or similar services with the main … Incentivized Helpful? Ross R. Mason Chief Executive Officer Chose Box At the time when we selected Box, Dropbox had yet to introduce collaboration on files, though they have since done so. Also at the time, we were concerned about security on Dropbox, with its primary emphasis on consumers and had already seen instances where client folders were … Incentivized Helpful? Raymond Cobb III President Chose Box Used Dropbox. Great product too, especially if you are on the personal usage side. I use the Box app on various devices - android, desktop, apple and they all work fine. We were able to cancel our Basecamp account as a result of the collaboration feature from Box. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Box We used Box for 2 years and then switched to SharePoint thinking it would integrate more appropriately with our other MS platforms. We had it for about 3 months and switched back to Box because SharePoint was a horrible experience compared to the flexibility and speed of Box. I … Incentivized Helpful?	Dropbox Business Jorden Beatty Digital Marketing Director Chose Dropbox Business I am a big fan of Google Drive (and Google's whole suite of online tools), but when it comes to file collaboration and management, I will chose Dropbox for Business every time. The sync functionality and device availability is unparalleled and, so far at least, the service has … Incentivized Helpful? Rahul Agarwal Digital & SEO Consultant Chose Dropbox Business The best thing about Dropbox is the fact that it can be integrated with over 100,000 third party apps which makes it easier to integrate the softwares which we internally work with. Dropbox integrated with DocuSign, Vimeo, Adobe, Salesforce and project management tools such as … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Dropbox Business Box dropped shortly after Dropbox with the intent on beating out Dropbox in file sharing by offering more space for free and adjusting their pricing. What was crazy was Box was less secure than Dropbox and had less functionality upfront. Although they had a nice navigation, it … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Representative Chose Dropbox Business Box has been pretty competitive for Dropbox, but the pricing and capacity options are more competitive with Dropbox. Incentivized Helpful? Jeff Williamson Creative Producer Chose Dropbox Business Our company uses both Dropbox and Flight for file storage but in different contexts. Dropbox has been our internal source for ALL files that can be accessed by employees with company emails. Flight was set up as our external brand portals for product images, lifestyle images, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Dropbox Business So there are a variety of other file sharing and collaboration options out there: I find Dropbox Business pretty similar to Box. They seem to be about the same in terms of quality. MS SharePoint is a more sophisticated option. It seems to take more effort by the organization to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Dropbox Business They are very alike-- in the end we need to work locally more often than others, so for that reason we went with Dropbox business as our main internal group collab for files. Box's security is better, but Dropbox's sync and sync control is better. Incentivized Helpful? Jesse Bickel, MS - PMP Sr. IT Project Manager Chose Dropbox Business We mainly selected Dropbox business for the limited deployments are due to the customers we have already using them. They are not our centralized system of choice. Incentivized Helpful? RN rizwan nazir UC Product Manager Chose Dropbox Business Sometimes using products outside the Microsoft ecosystem forces competition and helps to get improvements fast tracked which benefits everyone. Dropbox Business is designed from the ground up as opposed to yet another add on to a wider set of software applications. User … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Dropbox Business Dropbox Business is far superior for user experience, file requests, and general stability, but it's a hard sell to use extensively when OneDrive is included with Microsoft 365. Incentivized Helpful? Vin Campbell IT Director Chose Dropbox Business I've stated a few times already - DropBox set the Industry standard. Even when people are using a different solution - they tend to refer to cloud filesharing as using their "DropBox". So - including those I've referenced above - they all do virtually the same thing. DropBox … Incentivized Helpful?	SharePoint Verified User Consultant Chose Microsoft SharePoint SharePoint provides more features than Dropbox. It also integrates with MS which most office/companies utilize. Incentivized Helpful? Kirsten Rodriguez Realtor Chose Microsoft SharePoint Dropbox and Facebook both are very easy to do the same thing with. I don't know what the pricing is for Sharepoint, or what king of controls are on the back-end, so my knowledge on the back-end of Sharepoint is very limited. As a user, they seem very similar and easy to use. Incentivized Helpful? Stephen Wittmaak Creative Content and Design Specialist Chose Microsoft SharePoint Dropbox and Drive both have more 3rd party integration, although they may not be as secure. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Microsoft SharePoint MS SharePoint lags behind its competitors in most areas. While it does offer more functionality, such as custom sites, MS SharePoint's bogged-down sharing system really hurts it. While sharing documents with coworkers, outside contractors, and guests is hassle-free with Google … Incentivized Helpful? SD Shanaya Desai Process Executive Chose Microsoft SharePoint Dropbox UI is very cluttered and not well organized. It doesn't come with an office suite, unlike SharePoint. Inbuilt video player on SharePoint is great and has better playback controls than Dropbox video player. Sharepoint is integrated well with other offices 365 apps. Dropbo… Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Microsoft SharePoint Have used Box and MS Team which is add on to MS Sharepoint. Incentivized Helpful? RP Rene Peels IT Advisor Chose Microsoft SharePoint We have looked at several cloud file sharing solutions. Limited configuration features and resistance from IT departments to allow cloud file sharing access make MS SharePoint the solution with a broader acceptance across partners. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Microsoft SharePoint I think that Google Drive is much faster and more efficient than working in SharePoint. I understand that the benefit of using SharePoint is the integration of other MS tools such as Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, etc. However, these tools all work more efficiently offline rather … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Microsoft SharePoint MS SharePoint had great Microsoft product integration compared to other services, and was a more complete enterprise package. We didn't evaluate many other services, as SharePoint's integration into other basic office programs was more valuable than saving a little bit or … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Microsoft SharePoint MS SharePoint has more practical functionalities because we use MS Office software. Incentivized Helpful? Guillermo Villamizar Enterprise Products Chief Chose Microsoft SharePoint The decision of selecting MS Sharepoint was relatively easy, as we have all our servers and applications in Microsoft Environments. So, by selecting SharePoint, we didn't have to worry about compatibility issues. Also, the majority of our partners are Microsoft Gold Certified, … Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Blazquez Corporate Development and Strategic Product Management Chose Microsoft SharePoint In terms of user experience and usability, other apps have done a better job proving an intuitive workflow and behaviors that just work. In contrast, SharePoint's use cases (in particular sharing with non-Microsoft users) result a bit more confusing sequence of events. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Microsoft SharePoint Is not a document depository but does allow for sharing of documents and collaboration and is much cheaper. Incentivized Helpful? Jorden Beatty Digital Marketing Manager Chose Microsoft SharePoint Ultimately we are an agency that makes everyday use of the Microsoft Office Suite, Exchange Servers and O365 Email Services, so it only made sense to go with MS SharePoint based on its great integrations with these other systems. It fills a much-needed gap in the agency, … Incentivized Helpful?

	Box	Dropbox Business	Microsoft SharePoint
Likelihood to Recommend	Box I think Box is great for research teams or anyone that has a large number of files that need to be securely stored. Particularly in the case of social science research, where it is important to protect identifying data, Box is a great option. In cases where teams need a more reliable means for real-time collaboration, I would probably consider a different alternative Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Dropbox Everywhere as aforementioned it is well suited ... The largest and most appropriate... A business can never ever have too many locations of its data stored. This option allows my company to have our data stored in one location and everyone works it in real time whereas the updates go in "Real time" no matter who is working that file. This is the most awesome trick of the entire program not to mention that I can see everything that Bobbiesue is working on out west at the same time pull another activity report to see if indeed Peggy logged in for work from home at 2p yesterday as she stated she did. Its a check and balance for small businesses such as ours that runs on the honor system for telework employees. At this time, there just is not any less appropriate! Cindy Burgener, MBA CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review	Microsoft SharePoint Document Management excels as a central repository for storing, organising, and retrieving documents. It supports version control, metadata tagging, secure access, and integration with tools like Power Automate. At our organisation, it's used for managing contracts, policies, and supplier documents. SharePoint Workflow Automation integrates with Power Automate to streamline approvals, gather feedback, and automate recurring tasks. This reduces reliance on email chains and manual trackers. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Box The main feature that I like the most in Box is that it makes collaboration seamless, workers can easily check the documents any time and make changes according to the needs. Box manages and backs up all of your files on its cloud servers, and provides a very nice interface for creating, viewing, editing, and collaborating on the most commonly used file types (PDF, XLS, DOC, etc.). Over the past few years, Box has built on top of its basic cloud storage management with a host of other tools, such as workflows, AI, monitoring, and analytics. It is helping us to make good connections with clients and our workers themselves as to its syncing and viewing feature to all is very much helpful and easy to go. Incentivized james dean Senior Software Engineer Read full review	Dropbox It enables us to share documents and workflow to all employees for whom access is allowed regardless of where in the world they may be located. Dropbox Business provides a means to safely store our documents without having to have physical copies. Dropbox also allows for easy organization of our documents in folders and such in the system. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Microsoft We track employees' performance sheets, which are accessible to the employee, his manager, and HR, and this helps with transparency. We maintain technical process documents and SOPs, which help us quickly provide relevant documents during audits. We maintain incident documents change request forms in SharePoint, which helps us in tracking the changes. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Box The graphic design of the dashboard should be simpler and more tangible that can be changed to the liking of the Admin. Sometimes there are some syncing issues in the background. The product has very limited functionality in some areas which could be a bit frustrating at times. Incentivized KW Katherine Weiss Executive Assistant Read full review	Dropbox I deeply dislike the navigation. I find it very clunky and hard and not intuitive. A few years ago Dropbox redesigned its navigation and I'm frequently at a loss to figure out where to access the option I need. It should be quicker and easier to figure out how to send a file. I wish I could do that from the drop-down menu in my taskbar under the Dropbox logo. I wish I had the option under the same drop-down menu in my taskbar under the Dropbox logo to go to where the files are on my laptop, which I find much easier to navigate. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Microsoft Windows Explorer users have some difficulty having to constantly UPLOAD / DOWNLOAD files. Specifically on the DOWNLOAD when they are used to Drag & Drop in & out of LOCAL folders via Window's explorer. Microsoft SharePoint supports multiple "library" types. When implementing our "image" library the search function is done via "tags" and boolean logic. This is challenging to most end users. I'd like our users to be able to search our Microsoft SharePoint image library without having to enter KEYWORD or other BOOLEAN logic. Microsoft SharePoint can also be an internal website for each department or company wide communication tool but I believe these features are geared for much larger organizations. Since we are a SMB we really aren't using these features. So maybe something more useful to SMBs would be nice. Incentivized Jimmy Harrell IT Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Box I like the security features and I like the website. It's easy to use and create and move things around as needed. The main reason for a lower rating is because the Box Sync app is just not a good program. It's a memory hog, it's slow, transfer speeds are slow, and it's not the most efficient route. If you have a large Box account and you need to get a computer up to speed on a large amount of data within Box, you are in for the long haul. Last time I had to do this, it took 3 days to sync all of the files and we are talking around 100 GB worth of data Sam Montoya, CSM Project Manager Read full review	Dropbox Dropbox is very expensive and its price is not as competitive as it was. We are looking for an alternative that will enable as to subscribe more users at a more affordable cost. Also, we did not like Dropbox customer service, and felt that they should have found a way to compensate us for some of the damage they were responsible for when restoring our data. Incentivized Oran Bar-Tal COO (Chief Operating Officer) Read full review	Microsoft It's integral to our business. It's already included with most of the Office 365 licensing we buy, so the cost is effectively zero. It stores our files, it is the foundation for custom applications, and Microsoft only continues to enhance its functionality and its connections to other Microsoft tools. SharePoint just keeps getting better and better. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Box Everything with Box is seamless. It can be integrated into virtually any other software or application. You can even get the app for your phone or tablet to work on the go. File syncing is so quick. The only reason I gave it a 9 is the issue I discussed earlier about the local file application rebooting and not continuing to sync files. Other than that, it's great! Incentivized Tyler Grudowski Product Development Engineer Read full review	Dropbox Well-designed, smart, packed with functionality without being overwhelming—Dropbox knows what they are doing and they do it well. They know what users want from the service and they make sure that all the normal use cases are intuitive and at your fingertips. I have never had a hard time finding things with Dropbox and I think their usability is excellent. Incentivized Jonah Dempcy Web & Mobile Developer Read full review	Microsoft No usability issues reported. Individual teams also have allocated areas which replace legacy shared drives on local LANs. Access to Sharepoint resources is fully integrated with corporate Active Directory with additional two-factor authentication required for administrative users. Users have access to Microsoft Services Hub which allows you to create, manage, and track support requests while staying current on Microsoft technologies with access to select self-paced learning paths Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Reliability and Availability	Box Yeah, it's always worked, I've never had any kind of connection issues, the only issues I've had it I've been on our end when the Internet hasn't worked. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Dropbox At least once a week the app crashes on my computer and causes files to stop syncing. It is an easy fix to re-open the app, however I have to notice the app stopped working to realize it needs to be reopened. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Microsoft No answers on this topic
Performance	Box The general operation and management of Box is very efficient, both when accessing the account, and when adding files, downloading or modifying any document directly. The web platform, mobile and desktop versions work really well and quickly, making all the work and process flow smoothly and without setbacks. So far I have not been able to observe any inconvenience Incentivized burt smith Graphic Design Specialist Read full review	Dropbox The Dropbox site and tools load in a reasonable amount of time. I don't feel like their site and app performance is any better or worse than any other paid product that I've seen offered by any other large company. Compared to a competing product like Google Drive, the performance is probably about the same. Incentivized Justin Roodman Product Marketing Manager Read full review	Microsoft No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Box I found their support community lacking in clarity when I experienced a login issue. The error messaging was poor on my Box Sync application. I did not reach out to support staff for help, instead, I reasoned that I should try downloading the Box Sync application again and reinstall it. That fixed my issue, thankfully. I think a less computer-savvy user would've been much more frustrated. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Dropbox I give it a nine because I haven't ever had to use the support or help. I would give it a ten but since I've never had to use them, I can't really give a full review of how their support works. I've talked to market research teams from Dropbox about new features, but have not had to get any assistance with a problem yet. Incentivized Andy Ryan Launch Engineer Read full review	Microsoft Support for SharePoint is quite good. Microsoft provides good support. Microsoft offers Quick turnaround time for issues A range of support services Access to a network of resources Escalation of issues Ongoing development and commitment to produce enhancement The majority of support is required for initial installation. Once complete and the system is operating we have had very few support issues. Incentivized TD Tim Daciuk Director Advanced Analytics Read full review
In-Person Training	Box The in person training was done in house and I helped with the training, people seem to respond well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Dropbox No answers on this topic	Microsoft The face to face training I received was on SharePoint Administration. It was rushed as there was a lot of information to cover and the application of the labs weren't that great either. I like to be able to relate what I am learning to what I am currently doing. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Online Training	Box The documentation is good. Since Box is a popular service, there were also a number of YouTube videos and other sources that were helpful as we were considering the product and planning for deployment. Also, the ability to try the free version helped to prepare us. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Dropbox No answers on this topic	Microsoft I like to learn at my own pace and online training allows for that. Additionally, you can skip through pieces of content that you already know or are already comfortable with. Microsoft actually offers great videos on their website for basic fundamental SharePoint Training. I have used these training videos in some of my own training sessions with end users. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Box Be careful with settings. It is easy to get overwhelmed with updates. For example, you don’t want to be updated when doing historical data uploads. I recommend taking off notifications initially and then turn on post you have done your historical data upload. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Dropbox The implementation was actually very simple. Again, as stated previously, the most intriguing part of the entire exercise was the implementation of the directory structure for each account. Once you design and implement it for one, it becomes quite simple to replicate for each account you implement thereafter. You just really need to take time to ensure you implement the first perfectly and those that follow on will be likewise work efficiently and easily. Incentivized Brian Muench Chief Relationship Officer Read full review	Microsoft Planning to the last detail would be advised. SharePoint is a very large application that takes a lot of finesse to get operational Christopher Corbett Database Administrator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Box They are kind of the same. And both of them do their job as promised. But for company and project wise I think that Box slightly wins for some points. Which [makes him] win over Google Drive (don't forget that Google Drive is very easy to use and has a lot [of] nice features too). Pjeter Gjergjaj Senior Network Engineer Read full review	Dropbox Dropbox Business is dependable, adaptable, and cost-effective for our businesses. On the inside, it’s comparable to other file-sharing and storage. Also, file access and navigation are much faster. We use it to share documents and store data and files for our business purposes. And I’ve never been convinced of other tools’ integrity or dependability. Dropbox Business has good connectivity and is smooth to use. Aononna Tazin Software Specialist Read full review	Microsoft The reasons for selecting MS SharePoint are: SharePoint provides ease of use and web design assistance and support SharePoint helps you schedule your content for publishing. enables users to share documents with external parties and offers a better internal structure of the content and better indexing and searching capabilities. Incentivized Helmi Tatanaki Data Management Consultant Read full review
Scalability	Box It's great, as we put more files on there it's done very well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Dropbox We've used this when we were 2 users and when we were 20. It did not make any difference. Even when we've had to scale down and fire 10 employees, it was still easy to salvage all the material and keep it organized within Dropbox.

Return on Investment	Box Box has been an only positive experience. It provides a seamless way for me and my team to collaborate on documents in such a way where we're not sending the document back/forth via email. It's a huge timesaver. Box reduces the risk of sharing a sensitive document to the wrong person via email. Box has provided a platform where my team can share notes in meetings - this has helped streamline and organize our meetings. Our meetings are more productive and actionable.

No more trying to send cumbersome encrypted emails that customers struggle with. Dropbox makes it easy for them to retrieve their files. Collaboration makes it faster for us to complete plan documents with our customers. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Microsoft It comes with Office 365.
