Box is overall not user friendly and does not allow multiple users to edit the document, if it was opened by another user. It does though allow for a reliable storage of documents and easy sharing.

Pros

It was organization specific and allowed for easy sharing of documents. It was also a good place to store documents.

Cons

Because it used Word to upload, when documents were shared among users the document could be only be viewed and not edited. It then required a new document to be saved because users could not edit the document at once. It also was not user friendly and took a while to understand how it worked.

A Solid Cloud Storage Solution for Collaboration

Box has indeed been a dependable cloud storage service for our team, right from easy file sharing to secure collaboration and a high level of integration with other tools. It is for this reason that despite pricing concerns, security, scalability, and ease of use make it an excellent choice for businesses that really need storage and collaboration.

Pros

Box excels in providing robust cloud storage and file-sharing to enable collaboration among teams with much ease. Its ease of use, combined with good integration into popular productivity tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft Office 365, and Slack, makes it highly effective for business. Advanced security features of Box include encryption and granular access control, particularly helpful when it comes to dealing with sensitive documents.

Cons

While Box has great functionality, the pricing for Box can be quite steep with its structure for small businesses, particularly if you have to scale up or require additional storage. There are also slight complaints from users that the mobile application needs to be a little more intuitive and responsive.
