Overall Satisfaction with Box

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Box is used for document sharing and storing around the globe. It allows us to save space on our individual hard drives and gives us a central space to work together. Version control is a great feature. Being able to go back and see work that has been done when completing projects with different team members is a big plus. It also provides a way to go back if new work isn't going in the right direction.

The share features are excellent as well. The ability to set multiple view profiles and control who can see or do what within a specific folder allows us to have central locations for common documents.

Likelihood to Recommend

Box is a great platform for document storing and sharing. It's simple and quick to use. It works best when new teams are created and there is a project we are all working on together. Items are name, date, and time-stamped so it's easy to see who is doing what. It's great to be able to easily see what version a document is on right on the main folder screen as well as the last uploader.

Box has added some new protections to try and prevent multiple people working on the same document at the same time without knowing, but I have yet to test them out. That has been an issue in the past that has led to some weird file uploads where now there are multiple saves of the same document, but the bright side is that the documents are still saved and work isn't lost.
