About Box
Box empowers teams to work from anywhere with a single, secure collaboration platform built for the entire content lifecycle.
Easier to use than Dropbox. Better customer service.
If you don't know what "folder" a document is in - or even its exact document name, the search tool can be very difficult, and almost useless.

The older the berry, the sweeter the features!
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

Better than the rest
Comments: Came for the file storage. Staying for the wide array of features to edit, collaborate, protect, and organize my work.
Pros:
Besides being a file sharing and storage software, it excels where other software does not even come close. 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.

You can set permissions to folders and files to restrict user access to them.

Pros:
The ability to file documents and able to access from multiple location's.

A patient had to be moved manually when he/she went from Active to Inactive. It would have been nice to have a way to select Inactive and it moved on its own.

Pros:
Ease of use and the tools/features included. the notifications for downloads and uplaods to collaboration folders is helpful. ability to creat our own workflows and send messages within Box.

the workflow creation doesn't work for multiple users utilizing the same workflow. If I create a workflow and another user utilizes it, all communications have my name on them. it sometimes takes a few minutes for the desktop (both Mac and PC) and web versions to sync correctly.
