Pros

“Collaboration features such as file previews, comments, and real‑time editing worked smoothly and reduced the need to download documents or rely on multiple versions.”

“Excellent Microsoft integration – Seamless integration with tools like Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook) made it easy to edit and collaborate on documents without leaving Box.”

“The recent integration of Gemini has made the platform even more useful, providing quick assistance for writing, summarizing, and organizing my information directly within the tools I already use every day”

Superlano A.

“Google Workspace has allowed me to be more efficient in my everyday working life thanks to connecting Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Calendar and Drive all under one umbrella.”

Cons

“I do not like how image/video storage works on box and the latency. If you are storing and sharing images and videos through box, it will take you a lot of time if you are looking for a specific image/video and clicking on each image, it takes so much time to load even with a very high speed internet.”
VK

Vatsal K.

Software Engineer Intern

“Performance occasionally slowed when working with large folders or many files, and offline access was less intuitive than native desktop file systems.”
RS

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“Interface can feel cluttered – With many enterprise features layered in, the user experience isn’t always as clean or intuitive as some lighter file‑sharing tools.”
RS

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

Cons

“Performance with Large or Complex Files: Sheets can slow down noticeably with large datasets, complex formulas, or heavy conditional formatting, which can impact productivity for advanced users.”
