Overall Satisfaction with Box

Box is yet another entry into the cloud storage and sharing space for me. I have used it extensively for file sharing thanks to its simple interface and standalone apps. Media files, PDF documents, and other files have been a breeze to share within Box, and I appreciate the flexibility.

Pros

  • File sharing
  • File organization
  • Interface simplicity
  • Box notes

Cons

  • analytics for file viewing
  • more integrations with project management tools
  • Box Notes
  • file sharing
  • file organization
  • I can collaboratively discuss and share files with colleagues.
  • I can test drive features.
  • I can employ the tool with a fee for small projects.
Box is nowhere as deep as Google Drive due to the breadth of Google's ecosystem, but it is a self-contained mini-DAM that most will find works really well. The added bonus of built in Gmail sharing is a nice addition.

Do you think Box delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Yes

Did implementation of Box go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Box again?

No

If you need to create a wiki-style reference for a team, this can be very useful. Box notes are a great way to do this, and links to your files make for rich content. One use might be to think of Box Notes as README files like the ones that accompany software applications.
