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.”

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“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.”

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“Integration with Microsoft 365 was a notable strength, allowing documents to be edited and co‑authored efficiently while remaining within Box’s secure environment.”

Pros

“It provides a consistent and reliable way to store, sync, and access files, photos, and backups across devices without requiring much hands-on management.”

Marc R.

Digital Media Strategist

“The simplicity of using iCloud is its most positive feature; very easily synchronises with all Apple devices and allows simple organising of files and folders. ”

Gareth S.

Area Inclusion Worker

“It creates a smooth, connected experience where photos, files, notes, and backups automatically sync between devices without needing manual effort.”

Marc R.

Digital Media Strategist

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.”

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.”

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.”

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

Cons

“Storage space on the free plan is limited, and upgrading storage can become expensive over time compared to some competitors.”

Sonu P.

Systems Analyst

“One downside is that storage can fill up quickly, especially with photos, videos, and backups.”

Matthew M.

Holistic Nutritionist

“The web interface is as dated as 2015 and I don't even want to talk about sharing large video files with Windows clients.”
