Pros

Its a very helpful tool. I use when when I work from home and I love when I have all my documents on my MacBook from dropbox- without copying them; they just are there, love it.
Love the different type of software it has to offer such as storage or the quality of being able to save.
Very user friendly interface sync is very reliable good retention features. Lan sync and smart sync features are great.

Pros

It is a fantastic product and its security features give our business confidence to be in compliance with all regulations we are required to follow.
I like the simplicity and good features and the appropriate speed of Box platform, you can easily transfer files from any device to the cloud storage space of the box.
The interface of Box is great, and it is my favorite of the primary file-sharing platforms. Upload times seem relatively fast and sharing links with people outside my organization is great.

Cons

The group and user policy is alittle bit weird to understand and alittle bit confusing. I had to redo the whole access policy twice because it was not working as i wanted.
To have the file uploaded in the background with limited speeds irrespective of the download or upload speed is something that has irritated me.
It has some integration that sometimes provides warnings through Excel, but other file types are completely at risk of having conflicting copies.

Cons

Sadly it does not work on my kindle Ir the android tablet I had. With everything going mobile these days, you would think they'd be compatible by now.
This product has very limited functionality in some areas which could be a bit frustrating at times.
The organization of Box is awful, but this could be my company's fault.

Fine but go with Box

Reviewed 5 years ago

I like Dropbox but prefer Box for their customer support.

Pros

Dropbox is super easy to use and sync with your computer. I feel like Dropbox is the foremost well known online storage provider so most others have used it and/or are familiar with it. I also don't think you'll only have read-only access if you don't have the product like Box's set-up. If you have a link to the file you're good. It also makes for great collaboration among team members.

Cons

I wish Dropbox came a more baseline storage space. Also, there product support is not on par with Box.

Dropbox is kind of a must for business these days. People intuitively know how to use it and it, for the most part, just works. The business system is great to get back a little IT control over your corporate users.

Dropbox business - so-so. Dropbox consumer great!

Reviewed 3 years ago

Used Sharepoint, OneDrive, Box, and Google for 5 plus years. Hands down better than the Microsoft Products and is miles ahead of Google, and the price compared to Box is much easier to swallow, but have not noticed huge improvements after going public. Like that you can pay monthly (which Box couldn't do when using) and the price point is easier than Box. Three years in, I like but the cost is keeping me in.

Pros

easy to deploy and setup. Syncing is good...but cannot sync fully if you use consumer and business with two different accounts. It is good but the hiccups are not as good as Box. Better than OneDrive, which was terrible, and better than the google suite. Lower priced than Box.

Cons

version control good but not great. Minute security to files is not as complete as Box. Use can use the Microsoft programs (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) when using desktop version, but could not as useful when using tablet or mobile device. The rolling down of security is not as clean but works for the files I am keeping/using. The software has the TEXT searching into the individual files, but cannot easily restrict the search in file type, when created. Pulls up too many files and have to look thru to find the document you are searching for.

You can actually incorporate existing personal dropboxes into a business account

Lot's of cash is saved which could have been used to purchase storage software as well as securing the data.

Pros

Drop box is extremely easy to use. All that is needed is to drag a file from your PC onto the drop box upload interface and that's it.

Cons

Sometimes it may fail to do real-time sync and forces the user to manually upload their files even after the real-time tool is integrated on PC.

Pros

We use both Dropbox and box. While we use Dropbox more I have found box to be great and use it for business. It’s great for backups.

Cons

Sometimes it can be clunky. Sometimes you just want to save a file sent to you and it doesn’t let you.

Not good. High cost and low storage space. End users even complained about the functionally of the software.

Pros

This could be a good alternative to other cloud storage companies. I did find that this is a decent cloud storage and not a lot on the internet about being hacked.

Cons

I think this is overpriced. MS OneDirve and DropBox Business is cheaper per head and offers more storage that Box.

File sharing made easy

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

The storage pricing is reasonable, and I love that box holds on to files deleted for a period of time just in case you accidentally deleted something by mistake!

Cons

Occasionally I've had issues with syncing taking longer than other comparable tools like dropbox business, but overall I have almost no complaints about Box!

This is pretty good, but sometimes takes a really long time to sync

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

We switched to this from Dropbox because it was offered completely free to nonprofits through TechSoup. It is not as good of a product as Dropbox, but it works alright for file sharing for a small business.

Cons

Syncing errors galore - we have a lot of issues that do not seem to be from user error. Support has not be helpful with these.

Great for Content Marketing on Startups!

Reviewed 4 years ago

When we started our business a few years ago, we did not have enough capital to spend on tools or rather we wanted to invest in more important equipment. That is when I got introduced to Box. Their product quality and security are as good as Dropbox. We never had a security breach or lost a file, and since we offer content marketing services, the number of files we upload and download monthly is too many.

Pros

The speed to download and upload every single file

Cons

It is not as good as Dropbox, but if you are starting your business and want to save a good amount of money it is an ideal choice.

One of my favourite cloud storage apps until I switched to a MAC laptop

Reviewed 3 years ago

I was using Box more than Dropbox but now I've had to abandon Box in my usage due to how slow it's been for them to get a compatible app out for the Apple M1 chip devices.

Pros

I started using Box in the early days, so I have a decent amount of free storage. It does everything you would need for a cloud storage app (very similar to Dropbox). I would Box is seen more as a business/enterprise cloud app vs Dropbox, although I think Egnyte is also very good as a Business/Enterprise cloud storage app.

Cons

I recently switched from a Windows PC to a Macbook Air w/ Apple's M1 chip and to my disappointment, despite the fact it's been months since the M1 chip has come out, Box is one of the few critical apps I use that has zero support for the M1 chip (I have not idea what they were waiting for all these months knowing it was coming). Their stock answer is to suggest to users to just use the web browser version as they don't have an ETA for the Box sync app for Mac O/S (M1 chip). That's just truly disappointing to see from such a well-known and used app.

Beware small print. Misleading site as to costs and # of users.

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Was looking for alternative to Dropbox. Dropbox was not syncing correctly.

Cons

I had a "individual" account. Was trying to upgrade it to a different tier that stated a cost Of $60.00. I am the only user. I missed seeing the much smaller print on the site which stated a three user minimum. I guess my 70 year eyes are not as good they used to me. I put in my credit card and it went through. AFTER it went through, it displayed a confirmation charge of $180. (those 3 users). I immediately...
