Easy to arrange storage and cascading permissions make it easy to safely and appropriately share with staff. Does require some forethought for setting folders and share cascade. > > **Cons**: Can be glitchy and requires consistent updating to continue integration with MS Outlook tools. I don't like that won't remember the previous actions, saving to or whether or not I want to create a box. Sharing experience is good, but not totally native in the same way that Google Drive works. Hard sell on people who are committed to google environment > > I was not a fully committed google drive user, so I was not resistant to start. I love that it integrates with MS Office (which google does not) so it is native to the work environment. Sharing is solid, and this is important. ----- ### "CLOUD STORAGE" — 4.0/5 > **Andrea** | *17 October 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a consultant working with sensitive and complex engineering data, security and controlled access are my top priorities. What I appreciate most about Box is its robust set of security and administrative features. The ability to create secure folders for each project and invite clients or team members with granular permissions (e.g., view-only, uploader, editor) is invaluable. This ensures that valuable intellectual property, like proprietary CAD designs for motorsport applications, is protected. Furthermore, the version control system is excellent. In mechanical design, we go through countless iterations. Box automatically saves previous versions of a file, allowing me to track changes or revert to an earlier design if necessary. This provides a clear audit trail and prevents the common issue of team members working off of outdated files. The platform serves as a reliable single source of truth for all project-related documentation. > > **Cons**: While Box is great for general file management, its performance and features lag when handling the specific demands of heavy 3D CAD files and complex assemblies. Syncing very large files (often several gigabytes) through the desktop client can be slow and resource-intensive, interrupting workflow. More importantly, Box lacks the specialized tools I rely on in dedicated Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems like Teamcenter or Windchill. It doesn't have an integrated 3D viewer that can properly render complex assemblies, check for interferences, or manage part dependencies and Bills of Materials (BOMs). This means I always have to download the files locally to do any meaningful engineering review, which adds an extra, inefficient step to the process. > > My overall experience with Box is positive, with the understanding that it is a tool for secure file sharing and collaboration, not a replacement for a dedicated engineering PLM solution. It excels at centralizing project documents, managing client deliverables, and facilitating communication around non-CAD files like specifications, reports, and presentations. The security infrastructure gives me confidence when sharing sensitive information with external partners. However, for the core task of collaborative mechanical design, it serves more as a secure repository than an active workspace. It's an excellent complementary tool in my digital toolkit for managing the business side of engineering projects, but it falls short of handling the high-performance demands and intricacies of iterative 3D design work. ----- ### "Not Sure About Box" — 3.0/5 > **Valerie** | *27 April 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Box is a decent file storage program that allows for ease of access to files on the cloud. It has helped with team collaboration and productivity, especially in terms of storing, organizing, and sharing video files. > > **Cons**: Box has upload speed and file size limitations that make it very cumbersome to upload large video files. Uploads time out or have errors and require starting over. There's also no system in Box to help with organizing files. I wish they would implement an AI system, like Hey Eddie, that can scan files, describe them, group them into folders, and tag them so they're easy to find and search for. It's very difficult to do that manually all the time, especially when working on a small team that works on 24 events a year. The manual time it takes to sort things correctly in Box cuts into our productivity, > > It's very mixed. On one hand, it's easy to share files across teams and collaborate. On the other, the limitations of this platform can really cut into our ability to be more creative and productive. I wish they had a better solution for creative teams, especially video teams. However, if you're just looking for a document sharing system (or not large files or a high volume of files), this should be fine. ----- ### "Content Management With Box\!" — 5.0/5 > **Eduardo** | *20 August 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Box has been a great tool for keeping files organized and easy to access. I really like how simple it is to store, share, and collaborate on documents without constantly emailing files back and forth. The interface feels clean and straightforward, and it’s easy to access everything from different devices. The sharing and collaboration features are especially useful for working with a team. Overall, Box has made file management much more convenient and streamlined for us. It’s reliable, user-friendly, and definitely something I’d recommend to anyone looking for a solid cloud storage and collaboration platform. > > **Cons**: One downside of Box is that it can take a little time to get used to, especially if you’re new to cloud storage platforms. Some of the more advanced features and settings aren’t always super obvious, so you may need to poke around a bit to find what you’re looking for. The pricing can also feel a little high depending on the plan and how many users you have. That said, once everything is set up, it’s pretty easy to use and works reliably. > > Overall, I’ve had a really positive experience with Box. It makes storing, organizing, and sharing files really easy, and I like being able to access everything from pretty much anywhere. The collaboration features are also super handy when working with a team, especially when multiple people need to review or edit documents. It feels reliable and straightforward without a lot of unnecessary hassle. There are a few features that take some time to learn, but once you get familiar with it, Box makes file management much more convenient. I’d definitely recommend it for teams and businesses. ----- ### "All in one awesome tool" — 5.0/5 > **Nolan** | *29 November 2025* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s value for all extras under one roof hence significant savings across board like forms doc gen storage sign and etc along with ai extract > > **Cons**: Would be great to have box relay more integrated within Salesforce and more integration functions available in box within salesforce > > Overall has been great hence more than 16 years as their client and product has grown so much over the past 5 years ----- Page: 1 / 228\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/90760/box?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/90760/box) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
