"Organized and accessible"
Comments: Box allows us to work collaboratively with teammates all over the world, both inside and outside our organization. The workflow is very smooth and we are able to make live updates to documents we work with regularly. The experience has been very positive and a big improvement over what we were using previously
Pros: Box has great storage capacity and many useful tools for editing and syncing items. It's a very flexible, scalable tool
Cons: We rely on Box so much that on the few occasions that it has gone down temporarily, we have been stuck until it's come back online. The good news is that this has happened only once or twice in 3+ years.

"Great for Team Accessibility"
Comments: Box is user-friendly which has allowed my team and I to overcome problems of needless time consumption. Research projects take up a lot of time because of the amount of data that needs to be uploaded and analyzed. However, Box has enabled my team to effectively work together and independently while maintaining the ethical guidelines of research.
Pros: As a tutor and a researcher, I love being able to upload videos of lesson plans and lectures so that my team and those I am working for are able to look back on what I said. Another thing I love about Box is how you can share multiple files with anyone you want and you are able to view who has downloaded something to maintain privacy and confidentiality. Box is especially useful for big groups of people. Everything is extremely accessible and easy to learn how to use. I recommend Box to my colleagues in research who want a safe way of maintaining confidentiality in research projects.
Cons: I do not have any problems with Box so far and I have been using Box for most of my college experience. I have used it for research, tutoring, and collaboration projects.

"Good Alternative for cloud storage services"
Comments: The main benefit with the box was almost real-time sync, it also easy to integrate box with other applications like password managers to store your backup files in cloud drive with encryption.
Pros: I am using Box as the backup storage of my Important files. It has some of the best security features. They store your data on military-grade encryption. I am using it with automated backup and sync features (Using my app, which is integrated with BOX). it gives almost real-time Sync even in the free plan.
Cons: although all features are good but there are scopes for improvement in terms of the mobile version. The website in the mobile version can be improved for better accessibility.

"Customers not important to box"
Comments: Discontinuing service. See above.
Pros: Unlimitedspace. With no extra charge. Multiple file types supported
Cons: We had requested flexibility on our licenses since our staff increases and reduces between 90-100 people. Our admin accidentally added licenses before removing some leavers resulting in an accidental increase in the licenses. Box would not reduce the number by 3 licenses even though this was a clear mistake. They tried to make us pay for the remaining period of our 3 year contract. This resulted in a waste of several thousand dollars when we were in cost reduction mode. Canceling. There are many equivalent services with better customer support and lower pricing.

"Storage with excellent features for a fair price."
Comments: Collaboration via e-mail, the local network, and off-hours with a secure and responsive document and data storage repository. Very clean interface that even allows relative newcomers to easily start storing, sharing, and pulling files from other users.
Pros: I loved that Box allows frequently-emailed coworkers from your outlook to easily view your recent box files, documents, and updates and download things of interest if they have permission. It makes collaboration via e-mail, even over large files, effortless.
Cons: Some of the features like drag-and-drop are buggy or tedious when linking multiple files, and the "upload folder" option is sometimes not able to be selected.
