Overall Satisfaction with Box
We use Box to share hundreds of files throughout many projects. It allows us to keep everything in one place for a project, and be updated [in] real-time for everyone who is a part of that project. Using Box has helped our company keep everything up to date, while also cutting out the fat from data storage. We also use the functions [as] the online excel sheet to keep price lists up to date with our vendors, and those can be updated real-time which helps save time for everybody.
- Sync online folders onto a computer, to be used by the file explorer as if it were a local folder.
- Keep online data up to date according to what other users have edited within those files.
- Allow backup of local data easy.
- The sync could explain what is being done in a more detailed way, I've had to "unsync" and resync things multiple times before to get it set upright.
- Folders that appear in the file explorer sometimes say nothing's in them if they haven't loaded the folder yet. That can be confusing, it should tell the user that it's loading.
- The syncing interface could be more user friendly.
- A good ROI because of less time spent organizing files
