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.

Generally speaking, Box is great in every way for collaboration and security in the cloud. Easy to use, seamless sharing of files, and seamless integrations with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace make it extremely efficient in workflows for any team. Its enterprise-grade security and version control are highlights in this application to ensure data safety and consistency. However, it could improve in various ways: offline functionality, reliability of desktop syncs, and some may find the pricing a bit steep for smaller teams. Although advanced features have a learning curve, Box does the core features right. In general, Box is a great choice for a business that values collaboration and security.
Pros
Easy access to files through different devices and users
Works as a repository for all your files
Very intuitive to use
Easy to track changes and restore previous versions, which helps maintain consistency
Integrates with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and Slack
Cons
It is a bit inconvenient when working in areas with limited internet connectivity
The pricing tiers can be confusing, especially for smaller teams or individuals trying to determine the best plan
The desktop sync application can occasionally be unreliable at least on Mac users

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.

I am very happy with the functionality, and how easy it out to create custom access and share links. The search feature also works well when you are looking for specific documents.
Pros
I like how easy it is to customize and share files with specific parties. I like how customizable the layouts and folders are.
Cons
I wish there was real time editing inside the tab you are viewing, same as Teams, Dropbox or Google Drive. I have oft had to teach people that they need to open the view only file in the "online" version and edit there.
