Community-voted helpful feedback from verified users
I use Box daily to manage our core tasks. Incredibly fast background syncing and seamless integration into the native OS file explorer. Storage tiers scale up in price very quickly once you pass the 2TB mark.
I use Box daily to manage our core tasks. The "set it and forget it" mobile photo backup is flawless. The web dashboard feels bloated and pushes too many unrelated productivity tools.
In our daily production workflow, the seven-level permission structure in Box allows our legal team to share briefs securely, which resolved our previous operational bottlenecks.
After testing multiple competing tools, Box Relay automatically routes incoming vendor invoices to our finance director for approval, giving our team total confidence in daily use.
