I like the features to edit docs and files. The integration with google workspace, adobe, and microsoft office make this so essential. The security features are also not something I realized I valued until I started using box. I just feel like my files and my data are taken care of when I use this service. > > **Cons**: There is no beating around the bush here: box is expensive. But also... lots of storage services are these days. The free version does not get you very far. I think it's the same space Google Drive gives you, but again, the features within box cannot be found elsewhere. > > Came for the file storage. Staying for the wide array of features to edit, collaborate, protect, and organize my work. ----- ### "Easy, Powerful, and Fantastic for Metadata" — 5.0/5 > **Bonnie** | *February 6, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Box was super easy to use for our Marketing team, we loved the data structure and that we could tag our digital assets with metadata very easily for locating items. We loved how easy it was to share with outside vendors as well. > > **Cons**: Honestly, there wasn't much to dislike about Box. The only reason we moved away from it was that the entire rest of the organization was using Sharepoint which we have to pay for any ways and the Marketing team had stopped applying the metadata to new files which was the main reason we went with Box. If we weren't a Microsoft org, we would have stayed with Box. > > Box was incredibly simple to setup, incredibly easy to manage. The UI was fabulous. Admin backend and user management was so easy. I highly highly rate them. ----- ### "Box works well for storage, but not the best with collaboration" — 3.0/5 > **Pat** | *May 22, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Box storage is efficient and allows for good sharing outside of the company. Easy to open documents and save down in file folder. > > **Cons**: Box is not as great with internal collaboration and simulatenous work as Google Drive making it hard to justify continuing to use > > Box is getting harder to justify the cost as Google Drive is easy to collaborate across internal user and share ----- ### "Seamless and Efficient Cloud Collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Jasmin** | *March 9, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked how easy Box (cloud content management) makes it to store, organize, and securely share files with others. Its simple interface and strong collaboration features make managing documents and working with teams very convenient. > > **Cons**: There isn't too much of a downside for my company personally, but their pricing can be high for smaller teams, and occasionally the upload and syncing speeds feel slower compared to some competitors. > > Overall, my experience with Box has been positive. It’s a reliable and secure platform for file storage and collaboration, though the cost and occasional slow syncing can be minor inconveniences ----- ### "Kaganjo Opinion on Box Usage" — 5.0/5 > **Kelvin** | *March 12, 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Box allows me to seamlessly store and share files in cloud. With Box, I am able to collaborate on files with colleagues in real-time. > > **Cons**: Box is among the flawless file sharing tools that I have ever used. ----- Page: 1 / 227\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/90760/box?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/90760/box) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
