Safe storage for any work area

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Box from other similar products?

Box differs greatly from other cloud storage platforms because it offers consistent access for all users without the need for an up-to-date mobile app. Some cloud storage platforms force the user to always keep the App updated, otherwise it will not allow access to the cloud. Box offers complete access regardless of whether the App is updated to the latest version, in the same way it will allow the user to access all the stored files.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Box allows you to share all types of files with links protected by passwords and also allows you to add additional security to all files stored in the cloud, an encryption key security. I believe that file security is what is most abundant in Box, and what is most important to the platform. I love the security that Box offers me for each document, my business information is completely confidential and the sharing of each of these files must be protected from end to end.

What do you dislike most about this product?

At present, there are no negative factors that I have noticed about Box, this platform is fully functional, has provided me with a high expectation of work and has kept my files safe. I believe it has a lot of potential and that its file sharing has brought me excellent connectivity with my work colleagues.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend this platform for any company or work area because it offers great connectivity in the cloud, it allows immediate accessibility from any device. Box is also capable of offering a very good storage space, without limits, and allows each specific file to have additional security. Without a doubt, it would be the best option to have safe storage at all times.

Box is very simple, intuitive and practical

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Box from other similar products?

It is much more secure than the competitors, in addition to having a more precise synchronization when it comes to managing files within the platform. I have also noticed that the management system is much tidier since it feels as if it were creating folders and classifying files within Windows but in this case in the Box cloud. One last feature that I loved more than the other competitors is the type of file that it supports and the information of each file such as its weight, last edition, etc.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Box could be considered as a very interesting alternative to other cloud management and storage products, however this is much more simplified and has a more secure encryption than other platforms. With Box, it has been possible to work much better collaboratively and in real time with other co-workers, as well as being able to share files with clients in read-only mode. This platform speeds up our work since most of the company's files can be kept in the same place and simultaneously maintaining security.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I can honestly say that it has plans that are a bit expensive in relation to other alternatives, however this price difference is significant with respect to what Box offers since it has more functions that can also be adapted to the type of company and requirement that required. Another problem (for those who want to use the free version) is that the maximum capacity of a file to upload is 250MB, this can be a problem if you want to try this platform for the first time.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

At the moment I have never had file leaks within the time that I have used Box, it has always been safe to be able to manage and store the files within the cloud of this platform. The synchronization has been exceptional and in real time, so any file that is edited individually or collaboratively will be seen the same in all the places where it is synchronized automatically. Its functionality is simple and does not require any effort to learn how to use it, it is easy to drag the files that you want to upload and drop them within the web or desktop platform.

Pros

  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy
  • Efficient Service
