Overall a great way to share data and keep it secure. Also love the desktop version so I can access things from there as needed.

Great to securely store and share files, ease of use, customer service is excellent, very niche features, Value for money.

A great place to keep all your files, good for collaboration between multiple employees, recommend using the box sync app to quickly move files around with ease.

It's easy to set up, and the fact that it has a desktop version is great. The drag-and-drop ability is intuitive and exactly what a user would expect.

Box is great for team collaboration, BoxSync makes it even better, and accessible from any computer. With Box you can seamlessly store and retrieve files from around your company.

Box can crash randomly and can be a bit confusing to use for first time users.

Box is great for a low budget company and also when you are looking for something a bit specific to your needs.

Box's partner friendly/integration friendly philosophy positioned itself perfectly for the current and future state of business software.

Ability to save and attach documents via email. The ability to work collaboratively with files for example ability to share and update documents.

I have a problem that when i upload sometimes it stops and doesn’t go on, so i have to cancel and upload again.

There is something very weird when I access Box with multiple devices, that it fails to automatically sync between them. It has caused a great deal of trouble for me.

The benefits have been outstanding. The cost verses the value is incredible, it has great security, and it has great ease of use.

Providing clear API documentation. Quick technical support.

E-Signature make it more secure and Integration with lot of apps is wonderful. The cost and price is very reasonable and economical compared to the many features it provides to the user.

Really great tool that makes life at the office better. It has a fun interface that is intuitive and works.

It isn't limited by this fact, however, and can be as advanced as you want it to be. The ability to password protect links is great.

During the trial days in which I use this service, my experience with the product has been good and satisfactory. It is a very good alternative to other similar services.

The app makes really easy to safely store files and access then anytime. To me this is the most important and desirable feature an app like this should have.

I liked being able to share documents with other people super easily. It was great for group projects I was working on.

I love Box's reliable and easy to use file sharing service. Box's secure software allows you to share important files with people inside and outside your company.

I can get lost of what I’m trying to find if there is a lot in the folder.

Overall I think it's a great system. Feels good knowing that all our content is backed up and accessible to the entire team at any point.

The main disadvantage of this solution is related with the file sharing. It is a bit restricted and provokes some problems when downloading if the files are big (in the order of tens of GB).

I like that iDrive is affordable and does not backup only certain types of files based on your tier of membership.

Drag and Drop facility is easy to use and helps to manage the files very easily. Features of IDrive backup is great, and the search function is helping in searching through a large set of files.

Affordable, reliable, easy to use, customer service if needed.

IDrive has saved me more than once since I purchased it. It's also reassuring knowing I can access some files if I am traveling.

I loved being able to handle backups for ALL my drives and mobile devices on a single account and the online interface is great.

I love that you can encrypt the cloud back up as well as your local back up and that you can create an ISO drive image quickly and easily on an external hard drive.

Also, a full restore of a crashed hard drive  can take days to do online but probably less than an hour from a local backup. Idrive has very robust phone and chat support.

I love the ease of use and retrieval of files and folders.

Fails from time to time, not sure why. Have to leave the computer on all the time and takes a long time to back up a small amount of files.

This idrive is user friendly and i recommend it to my colleagues.

Excellent affordable backup system for cloud needs.

This system backs up quite well and on schedule. Less expensive than previous software backup systems.

What I like most about iDrive is that you can schedule backups as often as you need and backup what ever you need. I love being able to rest easy knowing my files are safe  every night.

Overall, I am pleased with this move. We had to find a new backup solution in a hurry after firing our old tech support outsource team, and this was an unbeatable offer.

Great product, well priced, runs in background without using a lot of resources, real time backup, very fast to download files.

Technical support was very responsive when I needed assistance. The cost of the product was very reasonable for the great features the software has.

I discovered iDrive after losing an entire issue. I spent days reconstructing it.

Tech support was no help in retrieving the files. Overall, the program feels constrictive, frustrating, and difficult compared to other cloud storage I've used.

I really like its ease of use, the speed of your server to upload the files and the simplicity of the interface.

The pricing annual made it a good value if the features and performance meet the needs. I did get responses back from CS as I needed.

Searching is a little difficult, but not much. Desktop version sometimes doesn't work for downloading but the on-line version is faster anyways.

Inability to manage local backups ( sync deletions) which can be done in cloud.

For about a week I see that the application stated an error due to no files to backup, so apparently, it stopped working for no apparent reason.

It can be used across multiple platforms. It integrates well with multiple hardware, software and operating systems.

The initial setup has been great, and much easier to handle than expected.

However, once I had installed all the requisite free software to make it work, I discovered that the online interface was easy to use.

Free version will backup your PC to a local drive and will also backup up to 5GB online for free. The cost of the paid version compared to the importance of what the software does is well worth it.

Customer support was fantastic and explained the options we would have under each plan.

They have good promotions for the first year which, if amortized, decreases the cost for subsequent years. Idrive really is an excellent value.

The configuration interface, for both the client and the web administration, is confusing and limited. I found a bug in the macOS client that made my us of the system very difficult.
