Box Reviews & Product Details

The ability to synchronize all files to your desktop is really good. One can share folders and files with other people and let them collaborate on any particular file. It can be accessed anywhere and on multiple devices. It can work on multiple platforms and there is freedom with what files one can select to sync. People can files public which can be accessed by multiple people . Various versions of a particular file can be stored and can be accessed through file history details.

The interface for loading is quite primitive. One can unexpectedly stop the sync process if he or she decides to shut down. Files can only be stored and not edited in here. With slow internet, there is significant lag in syncing files to box folder on computer. It creates a copy of the file on each device which can get confusing.

I use this software for backing up my research data from my desktop on to the box storage space.

It's easy to navigate the site and allow users to "add content" or just "review content".

If you upload something twice, it puts "v2" next to it. I wish it would flag you before it submits.

A place to store files

Really made for businesses and not personal use If you want to use this for personal use, this is not as easy to use. More advanced users Unlimited storage! Never worry about storage space with box very secure easy collaboration - flexible sharing options and I really like the fact that multiple users at the same time You can create and edit documents inside the app without depending on microsoft office- which is very helpful when you are not sitting in front of a computer all day

Not at user-friendly because it was made for more IT type of user Isn't very integrated with other apps when you are using this on your phone. So, on your phone, you can't connect to gmail app or other scanning apps in my experience. Not as easy to use if you are personally using it or if you have only a very small operation

It helped connect our company and not be forced to use Microsoft Office 365. I have a bunch of employees who don't work in one office and not all have Microsoft Office. Very good because they can custom their storage but I personally found that our company is too small to benefit from this product. I think it's much better for a medium sized company instead of a smaller company that I am running.

I like the fact that it has file storage and collaboration options.

It’s not as functional for revising documents in the cloud and some other options.

I’m able to collaborate with other people without having to send files that are on tangible devices.

It's an all in one! I liked that it made running a small business easier. Some of the things I liked were that whenever I had a question, I could easily call and ask one of the people how to improve some of the issues I was having.

No complaints at this moment. Most of the reps were helpful. Something that could be improved would be instead of having to purchase an all inclusive package upfront, having the ability to purchase a couple of things together.

Collaborative issues! I've found it hard to manage a bunch of things at once with running a small shop, but having a site, and social media managed all at once was actually really helpful and something a lot of business owners could benefit from.

It works all the time for me and people at my firm

Fat client it is very slow sometimes with peaks and valleys

Customer gains

The ability to sync to a folder on my desktop using Box Sync really makes this streamlined and efficient for daily use.

I dislike the time it sometimes takes for files to sync between users. Some larger files have taken an hour or more.

We have employees in multiple regions sharing files with Box. The ability to see the same information, as well as collaborate, all in one place, increases efficiency and reduces the chances for employees to be working from different versions of documentation.

Easy to organize my files. Basically it take less than 1 minute to upload my files.

Some company does not support to open box.

I liked the fact that using Box Sync allowed you to access/browse your cloud director as if it was native to my operating system.

It was common to become frustrated when it went out of sync and it was unclear what the proper process was to fix it.

Box provides an environment to store and share policy documents as well as daily reporting documents

Being able to edit files and save them directly to and from Box, no need to download and re-upload!

Won't tell you if someone else is currently looking at the same file.

Having to send files around the office. Time saved by having everything in one place for everyone to access.

I like that I have free storage and an option to buy if necessary.

IT will be better if it were totally free but I also understand why it's not

Using it to share large images with clients.

I like the easy, visual format that they have!

The internet reliability is a bit of an issue

They allow me to easily organize large amount of content

I like the fact that sharing is much easier without having to use google email addresses.

I wish some of the tools were a little more user friendly.

Nothing major other than easier collaboration without the need to use personal google email addresses.

easy to access, user friendly, and useful, can share a document with multiple users.

limited GB for free accounts, need to consistently upgrade plan when run out of storage

Share the file with different user and its admin functions allow me to limit other's user access.

1. Box provides a common platform from which anyone on the project with the requisite level of authority can access and/or edit a file 2. The functionality is straightforward and intuitive 3. It's easy to move and copy files and create folders 4. Pasting links to Box is much better than passing files along via email...and more secure 5. I can easily see who the last editor is and when the last edit was made. Size of files is also accessible.

1. Sometimes it's hard to discern what the different levels of access to a file mean. For instance, what can I do by opening a file in Excel online vs. regular excel vs. downloading it. What are the pros and cons of each. Box doesn't it make it easy to understand this and therefore I do see conflict errors occur in files whereby 2 people editing the file at the same time aren't aware of root cause. 2. Why is there JnJ access vs. outside contractor access? What is the difference?

See above. For fast-moving divestitures, people need to be able to store and edit vast amounts of files and data. File sharing is crucial. Also crucial for audit purposes. Benefits are increased accessibility and collaboration on files.

It is very easy to navigate the site and shows the date that was uploaded and by whom.

I really like all the features on Box, however I wish there was a way we could choose to download multiple docs at the same time.

Allows us to transfer big files easily

Convenient and easy to share with others

Hard to get used to at first - not clear instructions

Collaborative

It is really difficult to trust any application for storing your sensitive files to be accessed from anywhere in the world. But Box is one of the best cloud based services which helped me to store my files securely and also to edit it and re-store from anywhere. Also I liked its efficient sharing and collaboration feature for documents. Nice application for everyone who work online!

Could not find anything unfavorable in this application as it is superb and well designed. One thing I would like to suggest is that the integration of a direct chat window with the support in the user dashboard or direct email support. It might help users to quickly chat with the support team.

Storing files on a secure server. Easy upload and share of important documents for collaboration. An application on which our business can trust!

I have been a longtime user of box.com and find that it provides a secure means to store valuable content and share with team members.

When comparing this tool's UI to google drive, I find that the features Google provides as it pertains to email integration and cross-platform usability is where box.com falls short.

Storing public and private content in the cloud.
