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

Reasons for Choosing Box

Price and long time relationship with company.

Switched From

Zoho One and Google Workspace

Reasons for Switching to Box

Familiarity played the biggest role as i led this project and needed to reflect confidence in my decisions which is hard to do when using new software.

Overall, it’s been a good experience. It helps keep everything in one place and makes working with my team much smoother. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but once you get past that, it’s super useful.

Pros

I really like how easy it is to share and organize files. The collaboration features are great, and I feel confident using it because of the strong security.

Cons

It can be a bit slow when working with big files, and some of the integrations can be tricky to set up at first.

I had a great experience with Box, kicking off around 2012 when I was given some extra storage with my HP TouchPad (remember that!?). While I can no longer use it on my main PC, it is still running on the family's Windows laptop.

Pros

Having used all of the major cloud storage solutions, I found Box the easiest to use. Its syncing tool was - when I last used it - the best available, offering reliability and leaving me with the confidence to find work created on device A available to review on device B.

Cons

Unfortunately, as my opinions about computing and software have moved towards an open source philosophy, I have found myself unable to use Box. I would be prepared to make an exception for Box, but it does not offer an official Linux app.

Box was utilized for my first 2/3 years with this current company. The company as a whole made the transition from Box to OneDrive for Business. As a front end user, I did not see any issues with Box and think it was a great solution, but I believe the company as a whole transitioned to overall integrate more of Microsoft's Office 365 for simplicity and consistency.

Pros

Box does what it is supposed to do. It worked well as a backup solution and I always felt confident my documents and data were secure and easily accessible through desktop or mobile means.

Cons

Throughout my experience with Box, I would say that I never found a negative aspect.
