Overall Satisfaction with Box

I use Box for file sharing and inviting other collaborators to create Word documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, as well as for collaborating on these documents in real-time. It is packed with oodles of features and options for file storage, syncing, and collaboration. Box backs up entire hard drives and systems. By simply clicking on files and folders then tabbing over to ''details'' I can view their sync status on my account.

Pros

  • Collaborating with other colleagues on marketing projects
  • Team management and controlling access to files and folders
  • Managing cloud storage data
  • Grouping documents into folders

Cons

  • High price tag for small businesses
  • Box notes are not quite as good as note-taking apps
  • No link download limits
  • File previews
  • In-transit encryption
  • Deleted file retention
  • Data residency
  • Data is safe and supervised
  • It is convenient for sharing data with multiple users
  • Best method to deal with data loss
Neither pCloud nor Sync.com comes with unlimited storage, even though they are cheaper than Box. They also do not match most of Box's business features like custom branding and data loss protection.

Do you think Box delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Box's feature set?

Yes

Did Box live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Box go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Box again?

Yes

I can easily create and edit documents then assign a general or approval task to any file with comments. Three of its four plans come with unlimited storage, making it the only cloud storage service offering that much space. However, it can still be expensive for small businesses.
