    Excellent and Cost-Effective Solution for Secure Files and Collaboration

    Date: Nov 19 2024
    Summary

    In general, I think that Box is so convenient for working on the go and creating notes of things that you don't want to miss in certain meetings, it has worked wonders for organizing my ideas while also having access to multiple files that I need to use everyday. Accessing files is easy and fast because it's in the cloud and I deeply appreciate that it can be synchronized with all my devices because when it comes to large files, I don't want to manually have to send files to each device. Additionally, when working on a team, it's important that we save as much time as possible, and having to send files to each member separately eventually takes a lot of time, but with Box, I can just customize the access to the different members and it'll be good to go. It's definitely a good tool to be coordinated with your team.

    Positive

    Box is a platform that makes it its priority to be highly secure when uploading files in it and sharing it with others inside and outside of the platform, and I like that I am able to encrypt all files for more security. When working on files inside of the software, I can easily control the security when collaborating with other members and choose what type of access everyone has. Aside from this security aspect, I also like that it's able to integrate with other well-known security tools like Cisco to ensure a better experience in terms of safety.
    The best functionality of Box, in my opinion, is in its collaboration features, the digital whiteboard is one of them, because it's very easy to annotate things in different manners during a meeting and build ideas with other team members where there is a big creative process going on. There is a space specifically made for creating and working together on projects and I really love that it's possible to access it on a variety of platforms without the files getting altered, the way the mobile application is designed makes it easier to work on it compared to other solutions. In addition to that, the notes feature is such a great tool to obtain a quick overview of what we'll eventually be working on in a certain project.

    Negative

    I don't have a lot of negative things to say about Box, it's a software that does what it promises, although I do have a few things that I would like to point out. Firstly, I dislike that it takes a long time to upload files to the platform, this has never happened with any other tool that requires uploading files to work on the cloud, but for some reason, it happens with Box, we usually do file back-ups from time to time and it takes so long that it becomes inconvenient at some point. Secondly, I don't like that some formats are not supported by Box and some formats are supported but the viewer makes it hard to actually work on the file. If they improve these two aspects, I feel like Box could be a top-tier tool for collaboration on the cloud.

    It is a good way to backup files to the cloud

    Date: Jan 13 2023
    Summary

    Completely Box has been a very comprehensive tool for our company since it has been able to unify as a center where the important files of each employee can be managed and stored. Box has allowed us to centralize my company's files without any inconvenience, in addition, the ease of handling its interface makes it much more practical for any user to manage Box without any barrier that prevents their files in the cloud.

    Box has definitely improved the way we protect our files within my company, as this data is very important to us and our customers. All documents such as contracts, presentations or spreadsheets are of the utmost importance to have a place where they have easy access and are also protected with great security so that third parties cannot easily enter and obtain said documents, so I fully trust on this platform without a doubt.

    The synchronization of all the files of any user and of any operating system is very good, it is very rare when there is a delay when uploading a document and you want to use that document on another device, however, I have no complaints with the synchronization between cloud and devices linked to this platform since everything is done instantly so I can access my files from one point to another once uploaded without problem.

    Prices can be a problem, but nevertheless there are good plans that could be afforded for small companies and individuals and they also offer free versions, but you have to be aware that they have certain limitations both in the ability to store files and in their security and integrity. For large companies there would be no problem using this platform or the plans it offers since they have good features that outperform the competition and the plans adapt very well to business needs.

    Positive

    It has easy access for any type of user or company, so it will not require complicated actions to be able to correctly use the platform and start managing the files, nor will prior or expert training be needed in this platform since it is managed like any file manager. from any operating system where you can easily sort folders with just drag and drop, create names, label files And many other features.

    It is very secure, and it also has advanced encryption that would make it very difficult to access the platform's accounts. In addition, you can manage a different form of security for the links that are generated from the box's shared files, so you don't have to worry when sharing a file with someone directly from this platform without sending it to a different email if you don't The links are simply shared with authorized persons. In case it was the most security you can assign email that can only open those files and also select passwords for any file both as individual password and password in general.

    You can work collaboratively with your work team, so this platform is ideal for project management since files can be exchanged and these files will only remain for the people involved in this project, it can also be integrated with project management applications to Facilitate access to files in relation to managed projects.

    There are several integrations that this platform has with others, one of them is the ability to open any type of document when it is integrated with Microsoft Office, Google Docs or a PDF document with Adobe Acrobat. It can also be integrated with various platforms for digital signatures such as Adobe Only or DocuSign. It can also be integrated with much more networking platform, as well as security such as antivirus. I am many more examples that can be given when using an integration with Box so there are no limits when wanting to use Box with other platforms.

    Negative

    I would like it to have more options to be able to download certain documents, for example, download images in other formats so that it is easier to use those images at the moment, it can also be some other type of video to facilitate downloads and not necessarily download the original file, but rather a more compressed format can be downloaded to speed up downloads. This would be just as useful similar to what happens with the folders when they are downloaded since they are converted to Zip format and it makes it easier to have large files in one. So as we mentioned earlier it would be beneficial to be able to download documents or files of other formats without having to go through the manual trading process and each file.

    I would like you to install it as a system not only in the cloud but also that it can be integrated as a business solution to manage files locally, this would provide a solution to connection problems since you would have access directly from the local server and not only from Cloud. Currently I have had to configure a Box account on a computer and that several computers have access to that computer with box since it is the only one that will synchronize to the cloud and thus everyone has access to local Files and not only have access to the cloud .

    One downside for me personally is that I couldn't make it easy to have a shortcut to my toolbar in Windows, it would be easier to be able to access files in the Box cloud with one click without having to navigate between different folders or access from the shortcut that is on the desktop or any location that I can give to my computer. So having the ability to have a shortcut to the taskbar would make it much easier to access and quicker to be able to have the files that are within my Box account available.

    It gives me access to my files securely and everything is handled in the cloud.

    Date: Mar 07 2023
    Summary

    This cloud storage tool allows me to save any important documentation without having to have so many storage disks in my work environment, but I can back up everything in the cloud with only the Internet connection, since the applications that are installed in my different devices are not very heavy and do not affect the performance of my devices. With Box all my team can be connected without having to have tedious configurations and I can also work collaboratively with others, also with the security that this platform provides I can be sure that my team and I will not lose anything since Box prevents any intruder and also the versions of files and folders works so well that on several occasions I have had problems with the final versions of certain folders and I have been able to restore them calmly to the last version in which everything worked correctly.

    Keeping everything in one place and in the cloud in a place like Box has drastically reduced data leakage since that happened a lot from the occasional cyberattacks, so I don't have to worry about a intruder would like to steal sensitive information because all my files will be kept encrypted and safe within this platform.

    Box is very easy to implement to be able to have my files available anywhere, since I only have to install the application on all the devices where I want to install Box and I already have all my files linked and synchronized. This also works with shared files, so I can say that Box works for us to keep all the files of our work centrally without having to take care of the configuration and implementation part since I only have to manage my files and nothing else.

    Positive

    For the correct file management, it does not require effort since it is like managing any folder in Windows or Mac, which is why the implication of this platform makes it possible for anyone to use it without having to learn extensive configurations to save their files in the cloud. Within my work, a large number of desktop computers are managed and having control of all of them with respect to storage would not be an easy job if you did not have Box, since you would have to set up an internal server that would allow users who have access to your files, this being an expensive and tedious task. With Box everything can be synchronized through the application, so it does not require effort to configure, in addition each user has their isolated space and there is no way for a user to escalate to another being able to access sensitive information, so the ease and security of this platform go hand in hand.

    The privacy settings are not complicated to understand, so including my work team so that they can have access to certain files without being able to go beyond the files that I am allowing to be able to modify, I can also choose if I can allow add more people or not, this being a plus for the security of my files. Another thing that I liked about being able to manage the people who can have certain files that I have given access to is that I can have a record of editions of all the people involved in the files allowed for modification, so I will know if someone has mistakenly deleted a file or simply have more control with the edits that are made to each file or folder. Also, with unlimited spaces I don't have to worry about the amount of storage per user, however you can't buy storage on lower Box plans, which I'll leave to the negatives.

    Negative

    Considering the time I have used Box to store files in the cloud through this platform, I have not had so many problems that really block the normal use of Box, they are problems that occur occasionally and there has been a way to solve them but they should be heights are no longer present because they seem to be common errors which the developer team in charge of optimizing Box should solve these problems. The negative things that I have found in Box without the following:

    The synchronization has failed several times, especially when I want to have a file on a computer to a device because despite having verified that the file has been uploaded and that I am aware that it is in the Box cloud, I cannot find it on my box account on my other devices, I have even entered my account from the browser to verify that my file was uploaded, but when I enter the account through the applications for both mobile devices and for Windows or Mac these will take a long time to be processed, so I don't see my files instantly on all my linked devices. This doesn't always happen, but sometimes it does, and it can be a problem for me because the times I've solved it is by re-synchronizing everything, making the process slower in order to get only one file which is not synchronized.

    There is no way that I can increase the maximum storage limit that I am allowed with my plan. I understand that there are business plans that have unlimited capacity, but when it is not required to have all these features and what you want is to work with the basics both individually or with a team in a collaborative way, the 100 Gb falls short with the storage capacity that is needed currently, since the files that I handle with my work team are very heavy and both the load and the storage capacity that Box offers for teams is very short. That's why I had to upgrade to the business plan which has features that I'm not using and what I want to pay is for more GB of storage and upload, without having so many overwhelming tools.

    Unbox the power of collaboration with Box.

    Date: Apr 23 2023
    Summary

    In today's fast-paced work environment, having a reliable and secure cloud content collaboration software is essential. Box is a powerful cloud storage platform that offers a host of benefits for businesses that need to store, share, and manage files in the cloud. It provides advanced security features and data encryption to protect sensitive information, and supports granular access controls, watermarking, classification, and threat detection policies. This makes Box an ideal choice for businesses that need to share confidential information and files with clients or team members.

    One of Box's key benefits is its integration with a host of apps, including Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Cloud, Slack, and more. This makes it a versatile and flexible solution for many different use cases, and allows users to collaborate seamlessly with their team members, clients, and partners. Box also has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to manage and organize files, even for users with limited technical experience. It supports file annotations, automated tasks, offline syncing, and customizable URLs, which can save users time and improve their productivity.

    Box offers a generous 10GB of free storage for personal use, which is more than most of its competitors. However, it may not be the best choice for personal use or for users who need to work with large files or offline. The low file size limit of 250MB for the free version and 5GB for the paid version may be a drawback for users who need to work with large files such as videos or audio recordings. Additionally, Box relies on an internet connection to access files, which could be a problem for users who need to work offline or in areas with limited or unreliable internet access.

    Box is a reliable and powerful cloud content collaboration software that works well for businesses that need to store, share, and manage files in the cloud. It offers a host of tools and options for collaboration, integration, security, and performance. While it may not be the best choice for personal use or for users who need to work with large files or offline, it is an ideal choice for business users who need a secure and flexible cloud storage platform that integrates with many other applications. Therefore, I would highly recommend Box to businesses of all sizes and industries.

    Positive

Whether you need to store and manage files, collaborate with colleagues and partners, or protect sensitive information, Box has you covered.

    One of the standout features of Box is its generous 10GB of free storage for personal use. This is more than most of its competitors and provides ample space for storing photos, documents, and other files. With Box, you can easily access and share your files from anywhere, on any device.

    Box also offers seamless integration with over 1,500 applications, including Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Cloud, Slack, and more. This makes it a versatile and flexible solution for many different use cases, whether you need to collaborate on a document, manage a project, or streamline your workflow.

    In addition to its storage and collaboration capabilities, Box provides advanced security features to protect your sensitive information.

    Another great feature of Box is its robust collaboration capabilities. With Box, you can easily share files with colleagues and partners, whether they are inside or outside of your organization. You can set permissions for each user, control access to specific folders, and track who has viewed or edited your files. Box also allows you to collaborate in real-time on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, making it easy to work together no matter where you are.

    Negative

    Box is a cloud storage platform that offers many benefits, but it also has several disadvantages that may make it unsuitable for some users. One of the biggest limitations of Box is its low file size limit. The free version of Box only allows files up to 250MB, and the paid version only allows files up to 5GB. This makes it unsuitable for users who need to work with large files such as videos or audio recordings.

    Another disadvantage of Box is its cost. While the free version of Box is a great option for personal use, the paid version can be expensive for the amount of storage offered. It costs $14 per month or $120 per year for 100GB of storage, which is much higher than other cloud storage solutions that offer more storage for less money. This can be a drawback for users who need a lot of storage but don't want to pay a premium price.

    Box also relies on an internet connection to access files, which can be a problem for users who need to work offline or in areas with limited or unreliable internet access. This can lead to frustration and loss of productivity, especially if you need to access your files quickly and don't have access to the internet.

    Box may not offer as many customization options as other cloud storage solutions. While it does offer some customization options, it may not be enough for users who need more control over the appearance and functionality of their storage platform. This can be a drawback for users who want to create a unique and personalized experience for their clients or team members.

    Box has many benefits, it also has several limitations that may make it unsuitable for some users. Its low file size limit, high cost for storage, reliance on an internet connection, and limited customization options are all factors that users should consider before choosing Box as their cloud storage platform. If these limitations are not deal-breakers for you, then Box may be a great option. However, if these limitations are important to you, then you may want to explore other cloud storage solutions that better meet your needs.

    Active service to share files from anywhere.

    Date: Mar 15 2022
    Summary

    Box is a complete platform regarding the storage system, it is being used in all areas of our real estate company in order to share files without the need to use removable drives or move from our workplace. For us, using Box has been a positive impact on a large scale, we have been able to better manage our files, we have freed space on our hard drives, in addition, we have obtained additional encryption security with which we can protect all the confidential information of our company. such as contracts and financial information.

    Box has behaved wonderfully, there have been a couple of errors when opening some documents and videos from the web version, these files cannot always be opened normally and I believe that this error should be fixed as soon as possible. With the rest of the features Box is very well designed, a UI quite comfortable to use.

    Positive

    Box is a fairly complete platform that has allowed us to have quite beneficial cloud storage despite the short time it has been working in our work sector. The features of Box are several, a large part of the features have allowed us to have a fairly good experience, the positive features were:

    - One of the things that most caught my attention about Box is its free trial, it offers a very complete free trial, with access to all the functions that you get from the paid version of Box, in addition, it offers a space of up to 10 Totally free GB, something that helps a lot for new users to adapt to the cloud storage platform more feasible, it is better than many other storage software that only offer 2 GB free.

    - I love the different type of security that Box has, since this software allows me to lock files with unique keys so only the people I want can access them. This security system has helped me share files with specific people as I use a shared Box space that is being used by our Sales side, so this feature has given me more privacy.

    - When I open my Box session on my iOS device, all the information from the cloud is stored on the device so that when I don't have an internet connection, I can access those files without the need for the internet, this is fantastic and it's something that I really appreciate. Few software offer today.

    Negative

    During my experience with Box, many positive factors have emerged that have made me consider this system as one of the best ways to have files and documents in the cloud, however, they must correct an error that has always been present since I used Box, this error is as follows:

    - Not all Office documents can be opened in the Box cloud, and not all videos can either. On several occasions I have presented failures to open videos in Box since this software does not recognize all the currently existing video formats, which has forced me to have to download them to open them from my computer. When I try to open documents of type .excel or .word, some open normally but others throw a format error, causing the document to not be able to be edited or opened within the Box platform. They should optimize the file display system within Box, this would ensure that users have a better experience without errors.

    Autonomous service to transfer files directly through a simple link.

    Date: May 25 2022
    Summary

    Our use of Box expanded over time, when we started using this platform of our company we are only using it for less than 50% of our company, over time we realized that all our employees could send files and receive them continuously with the help of this platform, so we decided to start using it in all sectors so that our employees can manage files online and share it with their colleagues. Our general experience as a company has been totally good, we have not presented any failure when sharing our files, in addition, all our files with the help of this software have obtained encryption security, so that no intruder will be able to access them. without prior authorization from us. Previously we had problems transferring files since we did not get a mechanism that was completely reliable, however after getting this platform we noticed the corresponding changes and we perceived that the files and the transfer of the same had improved progressively, I am happy to be using this software in my business.

    Positive

    Box is considered by us to be one of the best services for storing files and sharing them directly without the need to contact someone. By simply sharing a link you can share a file with thousands and thousands of people. Box has been with this company for about two years and we are happy that it continues to provide us with a massive cloud storage service. One of the main things that I liked about this platform is that with a direct link I can share a file with several people, this link I can share with anyone, each person can access that link and download the file without any type of limit. Another thing that I liked is that the upload and download speeds provided by the box servers are totally agile, the upload speed has helped me upload files to the cloud without having to wait so long, also, when I am going to download a fairly large file from box, the process is quite fast. Finally I must also mention that I liked the way you allow me to modify documents within the cloud, I can modify documents simultaneously, for example, one of my colleagues can modify the document that I am modifying, all the changes should be in real time and so we can modify the document with the support of my colleagues, we can do everything from the online platform. Finally, I must also mention that I loved the way I can view all the images within the cloud, all the images that are stored in my cloud I can view from the platform, it is not necessary to download them at any time, in addition, these images can also be edited from the platform, this is really incredible and it is a functionality that benefits us a lot.

    Negative

    Since we started using this platform in our sector we have noticed substantial changes, and we have not noticed any problem in the platform's functionalities, however, for some employees this platform has been a bit confusing and they have had problems adapting to the same. Currently, there is no type of guide for our employees to learn how to use Box and know exactly how to upload and download files within the platform. Explaining to our employees how to use this platform has been a task for us, since we already have previous experience, but it would be excellent if our employees trained on this platform with a personalized guide. As I mentioned earlier, we had no issues with Box functionality, we were always able to successfully send files and never had any issues accessing our main cloud storage, I hope these groundbreaking results continue.

    Decent File Management Platform

    Date: Apr 11 2022
    Summary

    Overall I prefer other platforms, but will continue to use Box because I have a client who requires me to.

    Positive

    We use Box because we have a client who uses Box. However, I will say that it is a great platform for document management.

    Negative

    There is room for improvement, especially related to design and features.

    Satisfaction due to the great ease of sharing various files.

    Date: Dec 27 2022
    Summary

    Box has achieved immediate satisfaction for our entire company due to the ease it gave us to quickly share files between work teams. Box has given us an extremely good experience for all our companies, it began to be used within our corporate sector, however, after the great effectiveness it had in our sector, we decided that the other employees of our company should start using it. Currently, Box is being used by approximately 900 employees in our company, and we are happy that most of the employees use it, since we don't have to continue using the old ways of transferring files, before we used removable drives to share files or we used our Wifi network to share files (this took forever to complete a 100% file transfer), so the best solution we have come up with is "Box". We consider that we will continue using this service for the next few years due to its great effectiveness and the excellent prices that they give us for an annual subscription, I am very satisfied.

    Positive

    Box is a very complete platform to carry out all kinds of file transfers easily and in a few steps. The things I liked the most about Box were:

    1- The first thing I like about this platform is its accessibility, it is available for any type of device, Box can be used in its web version, use the downloadable version for computers or the version for mobile devices. I really loved the fact that this platform has excellent synchronization between devices, which helps all the files you upload to the cloud appear and be accessible from any device where you start with your Box account, this is very important to transfer files to the computer using your mobile device.

    2- All the videos stored in this cloud maintain the same original quality, this is very satisfactory and beneficial since in this way I have been able to share a large number of videos with my work team, in addition, I really loved being able to store various images without losing quality during the upload process, this made it easier for me to share images with my employees or with my colleagues in the company.

    3- I also liked that this platform allows me to share files with specific people, it has all the necessary privacy functions to be able to modify the display or privacy of each file for the participants of a work team. For example, if you have a folder shared with several colleagues, you can store multiple files within that folder and modify the view permissions so that only a specific group of employees can access it.

    4- The fourth thing I liked about Box is that it has an integrated encryption security for each file, also, this encryption security is implemented within the Box premium plan. Just by purchasing a subscription within this platform, I have been able to access most of the additional security features. In addition, I liked that this platform offers me a great quality-price comparison, I have been able to find very attractive plans with extensive storage space, this platform offers a very good comparison, it offers great quality for uploading and downloading files to a relatively low price compared to the competition or some alternatives.

    Negative

    The things I didn't like about Box were:

    1- Box does not have a good editing of documents simultaneously with the participation of several people. This platform does not allow several people to modify a document at the same time, when this happens, the platform creates several automatic copies to avoid conflicts in document editing. This is a complete disadvantage since I have not been able to work online and modify documents with the collaboration of several colleagues, the .word and .excel documents that I have stored in the shared folder with my work group, it has allowed us only to exchange and share documents, but it has not allowed us the simultaneous editing of these documents, this made me very upset.

    2- Some documents cannot be viewed in the web version of Box. This web version is not capable of fully loading documents that contain a lot of information or images within it, this web version is only capable of loading some documents, which have limited information, causing users to compulsorily download some documents in order to view them or edit them.

    Effectiveness and average when it comes to storing various files and protecting photos.

    Updated: Oct 24 2022
    Summary

    One of the main reasons why I have had a fairly good experience with this platform is because it has allowed me to protect each of the important documents that we handle in this company, we are a financial services company that cares a lot about keeping information safe. of each of our clients, since this helps us to keep all this information confidential. I really loved the experience I had with this platform, I consider that the general platform was enough, to use, I was able to adapt very quickly to each of the functionalities of this platform, I was able to store each of our files in a simple way, in addition, I was able to share all these files and documents directly by simply using a simple shared link. This platform is also capable of creating a shared folder on the desktop, for which this folder will serve so that all the files that are stored within it have been uploaded to the cloud immediately, so that you do not have to open it manually. the platform. In addition, I am also going to omit that the experience obtained from the platform for mobile devices has been quite good, from my mobile phone I have been able to store various things that I have on my mobile device, I have been able to store various images within my gallery, as well as I have also been able to store important files from my phone.

    Positive

    Box is an incredible platform that will always focus on providing the user with a totally secure storage space in the cloud, with the help of this platform for storing all kinds of documents, in addition, to use it for free since its limit to store new files of free of charge, there are quite extensive. One of the main things that I like about this platform is that it allows you to obtain an encryption key for each of your files automatically, this encryption key is integrated into the free version system, as well as it is integrated into the paid version, so you will never have any kind of problem for me to your files with a decryption key, you can always have a chance to use this encryption keys feature. Another thing that I like about this platform is that you can modify files in real time and you can also modify documents with simultaneous editing. That means that you will be able to avoid all types of documents and add document content while some other colleague from your company or from your work team also edit the document, this function is very important and allows you to work online avoiding any type of document with the support of your work team, this function is relatively important for any company.

    Negative

    One of the main problems that this platform has is its great incompatibility with the visualization of videos and images that are stored in the cloud, I have noticed that on some occasions it is not possible to open lines of each of the video files that are stored, so as well as on some occasions it is not possible to have a preview of the images that are stored in this cloud, therefore, this forces users to download that video file or that image to be able to view them correctly, this happens a lot and here this platform has some incompatibility to read some video formats or some image formats. Another of the negative things that this platform has is how high its prices are, the platform is very beneficial and provides a fairly optimal cloud service, however, to use one of the payment plans, you will have to pay a fee really high compared to other alternatives that are a little more accessible with their prices.
