"Access your data securely from whatever device you are on from any place."
What do you like best about Box?

I like having access to my data from any place and any device. I no longer have to rely on remote connections or VPNs to my office network. It works well for our office for effective communication when sending and receiving documents from our clients. I am not certain about comparisons to other products as I have been a box used for several years now. They offer the most features and abilities for a competitive price. Hopefully, it remains this way. I have recommended it to a lot of my clients for personal storage as well.

What do you dislike about Box?

I use Adobe Acrobat for e-signatures. Box released its e-Signature capture feature I was super excited about. They have been improving it over time, but for now, I feel that Acrobat Sign has more features I am used to at this time. I do currently use it internally for signatures.

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

They created a workspace environment where I can get feedback/comments on documents and opinions from other co-workers without having to email a document back and forth. I can securely send documents to co-workers and clients outside using links/passwords to the same document. It also tracks versions and due to the link sharing vs emailing a document, there is no confusion about which version of a document we are viewing.

"Simple, effective and very powerful"
What do you like best about Box?

We migrated over to box 4 years ago and now have over 3k users accessing box daily. The web interface is intuitive and packed with features, but in a way that allows different types of users to either take full advantage or to just use it as a content repository. It's really easy to get users in and working on your content and I particularly appreciate the solid version control and ability to see exactly what's happened/is happening with a given piece of content at any time. Box also integrates with just about anything so in addition to the baked-in features, you can link it with lots of other applications, making the whole experience very seamless. On the admin side, the controls are very straightforward; we found the initial deployment pretty easy and migrating additional data into our instance over the last 4 years has been very simple. With the new data onboarding options, I can see this would be even more straightforward for new customers to move large initial datasets. Our support team at box are helpful and friendly - I enjoy being able to discuss new ideas with them and contributing to the ongoing development of box (where I've already seen several updates related to ideas I've had or supported). Frankly, I can't recommend box enough!

What do you dislike about Box?

There's isn't anything I specifically dislike about box itself. One challenge we've had is weaning users away from the box drive interface and over to the more powerful web interface. I'm looking forward to some upcoming changes to some of the admin reports which I think are important for anyone with a bigger instance.

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

Box allows us to collaborate seamlessly on content all around our global business. The search function (combined with tags and/or metadata) make it easy for people to find what they need and get on with their daily work with minimal fuss. The security of knowing our data are backed up in multuple locations means that we won't lose anything and the ability to assign specific sets of content to specific regions makes it easy to comply with differing client requirements (e.g. if a client requires that their data be stored only in the USA, that's possible). One very important feature for us is the solid access controls which enable different parts of our business to be firewalled from one another - a feature that realistically extends right down to invidual users. We deployed at the end of 2019 and it was a life saver during covid - our old systems would certainly not have been able to cope with such a sudden and large-scale shift in working practices. I also like the simplicity of the waterfall permissions system - it means that, with a little organisation, giving people access to the content they need stays simple and doesn't end up in a rabbit warren of user-level permissions like some other cloud storage solutions do.

"A Secure and Collaborative Cloud-Based Content Management Platform"
What do you like best about Box?

Box takes data security seriously, employing industry-leading measures to protect your information. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and access controls can be configured to restrict access to authorized users only. Additionally, Box offers a variety of data residency options to ensure that your data is stored in a region that meets your compliance requirements. Box's interface is designed to be easy to use, even for users with limited technical experience. The drag-and-drop functionality makes it simple to upload and organize files, and the search function allows you to quickly find the information you need. Additionally, Box offers a variety of resources, including tutorials and videos, to help you get the most out of the platform. Box integrates with a variety of third-party applications, making it easy to incorporate it into your existing workflow. For example, you can use Box to automatically save files from Microsoft Office 365 or Google Workspace. Additionally, you can embed Box files into presentations, websites, and other documents.

What do you dislike about Box?

It has been observed that slow response times from Box's customer support team. This can be frustrating if you need help with a technical issue or if you have a question about your account. However, Box has been working to improve its customer support, and there are now a number of different ways to get help, including phone, email, and live chat. It has limited storage space. Msuct increase some storage space foe better user experience.

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

I deal with vast amounts of text and code data, which requires secure and reliable storage solutions. Box's cloud-based storage infrastructure provides a secure repository for my training data and generated responses. The encryption at rest and in transit ensures that my sensitive information remains protected from unauthorized access.

"Genuine service quality"
What do you like best about Box?

One of the conveniences of Box.com is its ability to effortlessly facilitate the sharing of large files with clients, overcoming the common email limitations associated with file size restrictions.

What do you dislike about Box?

I'd like a quicker or even seamless login process for Box.com, and the option to easily share the complete file tree when sharing deeper folders with clients or colleagues. Sometimes, it's not necessary, but having the choice to include the file tree location would be great.

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

Box has greatly improved my cloud content collaboration. Its user-friendly interface, effortless file sharing, and features for managing permissions and tracking changes have streamlined our teamwork. The ability to access and edit documents from any device, coupled with robust security, offers flexibility and peace of mind. In essence, Box is now a vital part of my workflow, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of teamwork.

"Reliable Online Storage"
What do you like best about Box?

I like that you can save massive amount of information and files online and in the cloud. This allows me the opportunity to access these files on other devices. Also, I don't need to bog down my laptop with all of this information. Being able to have a file on my computer that auto-syncs to the cloud helps me quickly back up my laptop rather than going to the website each time and uploading the information. Receiving emails letting me know when the files have been changed or updated is beneficial. Especially when we're on time crunches and we're trying to track when employees update documentation.

What do you dislike about Box?

When you first sign up for the service and add 'Box Sync' to your your computer, it has to sync all of the information. Having a BOX with over 5 gigabits worth of data took longer than expected.

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having an online back up space has been great. Having an online file cabinet so all employees can have access to the information makes things easier! No employee is without the most up-to-date files. Also, getting notifications when files are updated helps keep the team up to speed on which files are being changed and when they're being changed.

What do you like best about Box?

I examined every product utilized, put it through testing, and then wrote a review for it. The majority of the products were new and had incredible new features that set them apart from the competition, which motivated me to write honest reviews for them.

What do you dislike about Box?

User interface could be better and it should be user friendly for new people or unteck savvy. There should be more features in the trial period. Otherwise it's a great product.

It is the most simple and secured tool and easy to use. The best is that it is accessible from different devices as I work digitally and this has made my life very easy. Now I can finish half the work at the comfort of my home.

There is nothing ỉn specific that I dont like about the box. However maybe it could be a bit more cost friendly and a bit slow with larger files and low internet speeds.

Time saving is one problem it saved for me as now I can finish my tasks at home after the research before actually presenting it to my clients hence it gives me for confidence as I feel more prepared with my work.

"Probably an underutilized product with some great features"
What do you like best about Box?

Personally, my favorite Box feature is the ability to lock a given document that is shared in a folder with other users while you make changes to that document so that there are not multiple versions floating around that will later need to be somehow integrated. As someone who edits documents for a living, this is incredibly invaluable!

What do you dislike about Box?

Not much that I dislike about Box. It's a thoughtfully built out software that I have used to collaborate with other organizations to write multi-institute grants and it has worked beautifully for us.

What problems is Box solving and how is that benefiting you?

Box is an intuitive and easy-to-use software that allows me to collaborate with other writers across insitutions. When we are working on large projects (like grants) with multiple documents and iterations involved, the ability to collaborate seamlessly (and with the security of knowing it's on the cloud) is priceless.

"It couldn't get any easier than Box!"
What do you like best about Box?

I like Box because it makes sharing files extremely easy and intuitive. When you receive a Box invite, you know right where to to and what you will find when you get there!

I really can't think of anything I don't like. Its simple to use, easy to understand, a perfect way to communicate with others across the world! Don't change a thing!

The problem Box solves for me, as an independent contractor, companies can send me documents quickly and easily without giving me access to stuff I do not need to see or work with.
