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.

I do struggle with being able to find documents, but when I know where to go, it is always easy to access.

Pros

Box helps my larger scale university job easily collaborate and keep things in one space. I am able to access old documents, and easily reformat to update to my current needs.

Cons

For whatever reason, I have difficulty being able to easily find documents with the way that my specific organization has folders set up. I have not used it in other jobs, so I am not sure if this is a universal issue.
