Organized and accessible
Box allows us to work collaboratively with teammates all over the world, both inside and outside our organization. The workflow is very smooth and we are able to make live updates to documents we work with regularly. The experience has been very positive and a big improvement over what we were using previously
Pros
Box has great storage capacity and many useful tools for editing and syncing items. It's a very flexible, scalable tool
Cons
We rely on Box so much that on the few occasions that it has gone down temporarily, we have been stuck until it's come back online. The good news is that this has happened only once or twice in 3+ years.
Reasons for Switching to Box
Cleaner interface, better user experience, more reliable & capable

Good Free Version but expensive Business options
Storing documents in the cloud as a back-up solution, sharing documents with collaborators and clients.
Pros
Uploads and downloads are fast, sharing files or folders is easy, as an editor or viewer, and it is easy to use.
Cons
The Business options are expensive for small businesses since they require you to purchase multiple licenses, not only one. If you get the Individual license you are not GDPR compliant, thus it turns out to be expensive for SMEs.
Reasons for Choosing Box
OneDrive is connected with my Office 365 subscription and I might lose my documents if I switch account. Dropbox has some document conflicts and uploads are extremely slow with DSL.
Reasons for Switching to Box
Uploads/Downloads are faster than the Dropbox paid Business Account and you avoid document conflicts you have with Dropbox. BOX is much better in that case.

Customers not important to box
Discontinuing service. See above.
Pros
Unlimitedspace. With no extra charge. Multiple file types supported
Cons
We had requested flexibility on our licenses since our staff increases and reduces between 90-100 people. Our admin accidentally added licenses before removing some leavers resulting in an accidental increase in the licenses. Box would not reduce the number by 3 licenses even though this was a clear mistake. They tried to make us pay for the remaining period of our 3 year contract. This resulted in a waste of several thousand dollars when we were in cost reduction mode. Canceling. There are many equivalent services with better customer support and lower pricing.
Reasons for Choosing Box
We will go ack to sharepoint.

BOX
Overall its a much better platform I feel for sharing then Sharepoint.
Pros
BOX is great for sharing information and large files, creating backup of information on to a network. It can mirror working off your harddrive where team members can then have access to the information.
Cons
Modifying file names or moving files around could be improved upon to be made even easier when sharing with organizing files.
Reasons for Switching to Box
I have not fully made the switch. I still use Sharepoint, just not to the degree I did before until we had BOX. Probably in time a full integration from Sharepoint may occur.

Excellent with teamwork, effortlessly easy.
When we talk about online based cloud storage, Box is an old company, give proper service to users. I can comfortably use big files and share them with a group of people. in my opinion its good enough to use. In the professional section, we all need to be paid storage to save our data, Box is a good option for us. In case of small file we may think of going free with other service provider, wbut when we need bigger space , we don't have many option left.
Pros
Box is a good software when i use online . I can share my professional files easily with my teams. Large files are easily shareable with anyone. In my opinion cloud storage of Box is upto mark. File sharing is pretty good.
Cons
Price is a little bit higher, when we talk about paid storage. windows application is not easiy to use, need some improvement.
Reasons for Switching to Box
Clearly Box is little-bit cheaper than Dropbox, Service is pretty much same, when i need small amount of paid storage i use Box to share my large files. when i need a large storage then Dropbox is better. Basically it depends on situation, In case of small personal file i prefare Google Drive also.
