About Box
Box empowers teams to work from anywhere with a single, secure collaboration platform built for the entire content lifecycle.
Easier to use than Dropbox. Better customer service.
If you don't know what "folder" a document is in - or even its exact document name, the search tool can be very difficult, and almost useless.

The older the berry, the sweeter the features!
Comments: Using Zapier workflow automation, we were able to mimic a google workspace type experience for our project management needs which we chose box because of a 20+ year relationship and its robust list of available integration options thanks to its multi-decade cultivating of relationships unmatched by any of their competitors.
Pros:
Their Cloud infrastructure is one of the original online storage spaces, which i have used since 2001 to keep my songwriting files secure. My favorite unique advantage that box has is its file versioning. As a songwriter it can be challenging saving updated lyrics though still utilizing autosave to avoid unintended deletion. File versioning combines the two and organizes all versions, with an easy selectbox convenient for final drafting.
Cons:
Their workspace is pretty generic, which can be more seamless as a one-stop project management superapp, which is made possible by zapier
Review For Box
Comments: Box has a fantastic security for protecting our data.
Pros:
Box offers incredible security features like data encryption. This helps to protect you data from malicious activities. Box has an amazing customer support.
Cons:
There nothing that is wrong with this platform.
Popular but not as fast-running for all devices
Comments: a lot of companies use this to share files safely
Pros:
ease of use, easy to share files through one cloud
Cons:
It makes my device run so slow- I can only use it on specific devices because it makes it all take so long to load on the box on my pc
Better than the rest
Comments: Came for the file storage. Staying for the wide array of features to edit, collaborate, protect, and organize my work.
Pros:
Besides being a file sharing and storage software, it excels where other software does not even come close. I like the features to edit docs and files. The integration with google workspace, adobe, and microsoft office make this so essential. The security features are also not something I realized I valued until I started using box. I just feel like my files and my data are taken care of when I use this service.
Cons:
There is no beating around the bush here: box is expensive. But also... lots of storage services are these days. The free version does not get you very far. I think it's the same space Google Drive gives you, but again, the features within box cannot be found elsewhere.

Pros:
Box makes organizing our server a breeze and finding files quick and easy. The search function and the ability to filter by file type is huge.
Cons:
Depending on specific settings set by the admin, file links sometimes disappear and become inactive. Although this is good for safety reasons, it makes referring to old files a bit inconvenient.

Easy to Naviagate, Easy to Share

Pros:
I like how easy it is to customize and share files with specific parties. I like how customizable the layouts and folders are.

I wish there was real time editing inside the tab you are viewing, same as Teams, Dropbox or Google Drive. I have oft had to teach people that they need to open the view only file in the "online" version and edit there.
Alternatives Considered:
Box is a great file storage, sharing, and collaboration tool.
Comments: Overall, the last 4+ years the tool has been really helpful for our organization. We also feel more secure adding files in Box that are sensitive vs Google Drive, so we use this as a backup up location for these types of files.
Pros:
Cloud storage of files that are also accessible in the cloud and desktop. Ability to limit access across staff, project teams, and internal or external organizations. Large capacity for file storage at your fingertips.
Cons:
Some features are not as thoughtout as other tools: renaming large amounts of items like photos, moving files from one folder to another, and many times links shared to outside orgs and emails dont work the first time.

Box provides secure services, there is nothing to dislike about this tool. I appreciate its team for developing the great features that have created easiness in managing our precious data.
Box vs. Case Management
Comments: It took time for me to understand the platform. Once I did it was an easy file system for the duration, until the company went to a Case Management system.
Pros:
The ability to file documents and able to access from multiple location's.
Cons:
A patient had to be moved manually when he/she went from Active to Inactive. It would have been nice to have a way to select Inactive and it moved on its own.

I like the way it integrates. I use it with Trello. I also have a folder of all my details for when I travel, like photos of my passport, tickets and contact numbers. It means I can access these from anywhere if the world if needed.

Nothing. It's a great product and works really well. There's nothing to complain about with Box
