The older the berry, the sweeter the features!

4.0 7 months ago

Comments: Using Zapier workflow automation, we were able to mimic a google workspace type experience for our project management needs which we chose box because of a 20+ year relationship and its robust list of available integration options thanks to its multi-decade cultivating of relationships unmatched by any of their competitors.

Pros:

Their Cloud infrastructure is one of the original online storage spaces, which i have used since 2001 to keep my songwriting files secure. My favorite unique advantage that box has is its file versioning. As a songwriter it can be challenging saving updated lyrics though still utilizing autosave to avoid unintended deletion. File versioning combines the two and organizes all versions, with an easy selectbox convenient for final drafting.

Cons:

Their workspace is pretty generic, which can be more seamless as a one-stop project management superapp, which is made possible by zapier

Secured and convenient, cloud content management platform

5.0 last month New

Comments: It is an excellent cloud content management platform. My overall experience with Box has been great.

Pros:

The Box is compatible with several operating systems. You can share files and collaborate seamlessly from any device, whether it is a Desktop, Android phone, or iPhone. You can open, and edit Microsoft Office files straight from Box instead of downloading them. It allows you to securely store your documents on the cloud and share them with anyone. You can set permissions to folders and files to restrict user access to them.

Cons:

We have not encountered any issues with Box till now.

My favourite cloud storage for several years

3.0 7 months ago

Comments: I had a great experience with Box, kicking off around 2012 when I was given some extra storage with my HP TouchPad (remember that!?). While I can no longer use it on my main PC, it is still running on the family's Windows laptop.

Pros:

Having used all of the major cloud storage solutions, I found Box the easiest to use. Its syncing tool was - when I last used it - the best available, offering reliability and leaving me with the confidence to find work created on device A available to review on device B.

Cons:

Unfortunately, as my opinions about computing and software have moved towards an open source philosophy, I have found myself unable to use Box. I would be prepared to make an exception for Box, but it does not offer an official Linux app.
