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'd like to extend our appreciation for the support and training we have been receiving from the techs at Smart Contractor.

Just because software can do something does not mean you will have the time to learn how to do it if there are no instructions.

Smart Contractor has helped bring our business to the next level. The team at Smart Contractor has been supportive and receptive to all of our needs and we feel it's been an excellent investment.

The integration with Quickbooks was a snap thanks to a fantastic support group. Integration was done online via go to meeting with a tech to ensure everything was installed properly.

This is the BEST way to organize the information as it all relates to the bottom line. Powerful reporting that gives a large number of options for printed forms which are very customer friendly.

As a cabinet shop of moderate size (20+ employees) we've looked long and hard for bidding and job costing software.

My clients think they look very professional and this makes me look better than the competition. Integration with quickbooks.

Obviously it is not that easy if they are not willing to take the time to teach us for free. The scheduling portion is poorly designed, and difficult to use.

Super easy to make changes, updates, change orders, etc. Love how you can set up banking options and automatically produce a AIA draw request with one button.

The product is perfect for our needs and knowing there is a knowledgable and responsive team behind it makes it a perfect choice.

Our customers now compliment us on our detailed project management. Smart Contractor has allowed us to grow and I would recommend it to any company...unless you are the competition.

One of the best things that this has is CUSTOMER SUPPORT. I was very very impressed with the time and patience they spent and had with me once they had a chance to call me back.
