My favourite cloud storage for several years

3.0 2 months ago

Comments: I had a great experience with Box, kicking off around 2012 when I was given some extra storage with my HP TouchPad (remember that!?). While I can no longer use it on my main PC, it is still running on the family's Windows laptop.

Pros:

Having used all of the major cloud storage solutions, I found Box the easiest to use. Its syncing tool was - when I last used it - the best available, offering reliability and leaving me with the confidence to find work created on device A available to review on device B.

Cons:

Unfortunately, as my opinions about computing and software have moved towards an open source philosophy, I have found myself unable to use Box. I would be prepared to make an exception for Box, but it does not offer an official Linux app.

Security means BOX

Comments: It's a great cloud storage service, its safety is the most powerful weapon bout this service. There is no record that exists like the hack of documents spamming in BOX.

Pros:

I love to use BOX for my document's security. I have been using BOX for the last 5 years as my document management and file sharing.

Cons:

I like least about BOX is its offline file options. I don't use this.
