Box Software Reviews

“Box for easy file management

Pros

I have been using Box for around 2 years now, and I must say it has been a great experience. I can work and save files without worrying about running out of storage. Even if my internet connection drops, I can easily recover my work once the connection is restored. Additionally, Box is accessible via mobile phones which makes it incredibly convenient when I need to check my files and forget to bring my laptop. I highly recommend Box. It is the best so far!

Cons

I found all the features of Box to be useful. So there is nothing negative to say.

“One space for google & microsoft docs

Pros

I am very please with the feature that allows me to have both Google and Microsoft documents in one folder, which can be easily shared and collaborated on. It keeps everything organized for all parties involved.

Cons

So far, I haven't come across anything that I didn't like about Box.

“Easy security with data room

Pros

Compared to the terrible software our lawyers ask us to use, Box is the best. It is simple to create folders, assign access and editing permissions, and control file uploads and downloads. The insights into user activity are fantastic too. It is satisfying to see a potential investor download the entire folder, as it shows their interest.

Cons

The pricing can be a bit confusing, mainly with different user categories like "managed" and non-managed." Since we have many one-time investors, I don't want to incur unnecessary costs, but I still want to ensure they have an excellent experience.

“Free trial to manage documents easily

Pros

Signing up and using Box is a very smooth process. It reminds me a lot of Dropbox but at a lower cost.

Cons

At the moment I don't have any cons to mention. The app seems pretty good.

“Share your data safely

Pros

I use Box for secure cloud storage to upload and share files with clients. It offers plenty of space for storing data over long periods.

Cons

The limited integration options provoked us to explore other tools alongside Box during our work.

“Highly recommend Box – great app!

I value the security of file sharing on Box. To access content, someone must be signed in, but you can easily send a code or link to someone who doesn't have a paid account. They simply need to create a free account and sign in.

Cons

It's similar to other products in most aspects, majorly when it comes to pricing.

Additionally, integrating Box Drive into my Windows or Apple computer allows me to access Box documents without relying on a web browser.

The e-signature option in Box has simplified the entire process of signing documents. No more printing, signing, scanning and uploading. All can be done easily within the platform.
