    "Unbox the power of collaboration with Box."

    Posted 2023-04-23

    Pros: Box is a powerful and versatile cloud storage and collaboration platform that offers a wide range of features to meet the needs of individuals and organizations of all sizes. Whether you need to store and manage files, collaborate with colleagues and partners, or protect sensitive information, Box has you covered.

    One of the standout features of Box is its generous 10GB of free storage for personal use. This is more than most of its competitors and provides ample space for storing photos, documents, and other files. With Box, you can easily access and share your files from anywhere, on any device.

    Box also offers seamless integration with over 1,500 applications, including Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Cloud, Slack, and more. This makes it a versatile and flexible solution for many different use cases, whether you need to collaborate on a document, manage a project, or streamline your workflow.

    In addition to its storage and collaboration capabilities, Box provides advanced security features to protect your sensitive information. With data encryption, granular access controls, watermarking, classification, and threat detection policies, you can be sure that your data is always secure. Box has been trusted by 100K+ of the world’s leading organizations and has been named a Leader by all major industry analyst firms.

    Box's user-friendly interface makes it easy to manage and organize files, even for users with limited technical experience. You can easily drag and drop files into your folders, create subfolders, and search for specific files using keywords. Box also supports file annotations, which allows you to add comments and notes to your documents, as well as automated tasks, offline syncing, and customizable URLs.

    Another great feature of Box is its robust collaboration capabilities. With Box, you can easily share files with colleagues and partners, whether they are inside or outside of your organization. You can set permissions for each user, control access to specific folders, and track who has viewed or edited your files. Box also allows you to collaborate in real-time on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, making it easy to work together no matter where you are.

    Cons: Box is a cloud storage platform that offers many benefits, but it also has several disadvantages that may make it unsuitable for some users. One of the biggest limitations of Box is its low file size limit. The free version of Box only allows files up to 250MB, and the paid version only allows files up to 5GB. This makes it unsuitable for users who need to work with large files such as videos or audio recordings.

    Another disadvantage of Box is its cost. While the free version of Box is a great option for personal use, the paid version can be expensive for the amount of storage offered. It costs $14 per month or $120 per year for 100GB of storage, which is much higher than other cloud storage solutions that offer more storage for less money. This can be a drawback for users who need a lot of storage but don't want to pay a premium price.

    Box also relies on an internet connection to access files, which can be a problem for users who need to work offline or in areas with limited or unreliable internet access. This can lead to frustration and loss of productivity, especially if you need to access your files quickly and don't have access to the internet.

    Box may not offer as many customization options as other cloud storage solutions. While it does offer some customization options, it may not be enough for users who need more control over the appearance and functionality of their storage platform. This can be a drawback for users who want to create a unique and personalized experience for their clients or team members.

    Box has many benefits, it also has several limitations that may make it unsuitable for some users. Its low file size limit, high cost for storage, reliance on an internet connection, and limited customization options are all factors that users should consider before choosing Box as their cloud storage platform. If these limitations are not deal-breakers for you, then Box may be a great option. However, if these limitations are important to you, then you may want to explore other cloud storage solutions that better meet your needs.

    Overall: In today's fast-paced work environment, having a reliable and secure cloud content collaboration software is essential. Box is a powerful cloud storage platform that offers a host of benefits for businesses that need to store, share, and manage files in the cloud. It provides advanced security features and data encryption to protect sensitive information, and supports granular access controls, watermarking, classification, and threat detection policies. This makes Box an ideal choice for businesses that need to share confidential information and files with clients or team members.

    One of Box's key benefits is its integration with a host of apps, including Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Cloud, Slack, and more. This makes it a versatile and flexible solution for many different use cases, and allows users to collaborate seamlessly with their team members, clients, and partners. Box also has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to manage and organize files, even for users with limited technical experience. It supports file annotations, automated tasks, offline syncing, and customizable URLs, which can save users time and improve their productivity.

    Box offers a generous 10GB of free storage for personal use, which is more than most of its competitors. However, it may not be the best choice for personal use or for users who need to work with large files or offline. The low file size limit of 250MB for the free version and 5GB for the paid version may be a drawback for users who need to work with large files such as videos or audio recordings. Additionally, Box relies on an internet connection to access files, which could be a problem for users who need to work offline or in areas with limited or unreliable internet access.

    Box is a reliable and powerful cloud content collaboration software that works well for businesses that need to store, share, and manage files in the cloud. It offers a host of tools and options for collaboration, integration, security, and performance. While it may not be the best choice for personal use or for users who need to work with large files or offline, it is an ideal choice for business users who need a secure and flexible cloud storage platform that integrates with many other applications. Therefore, I would highly recommend Box to businesses of all sizes and industries.

    "It gives me access to my files securely and everything is handled in the cloud."

    Posted 2023-03-07

    Pros: For the correct file management, it does not require effort since it is like managing any folder in Windows or Mac, which is why the implication of this platform makes it possible for anyone to use it without having to learn extensive configurations to save their files in the cloud. Within my work, a large number of desktop computers are managed and having control of all of them with respect to storage would not be an easy job if you did not have Box, since you would have to set up an internal server that would allow users who have access to your files, this being an expensive and tedious task. With Box everything can be synchronized through the application, so it does not require effort to configure, in addition each user has their isolated space and there is no way for a user to escalate to another being able to access sensitive information, so the ease and security of this platform go hand in hand.

    The privacy settings are not complicated to understand, so including my work team so that they can have access to certain files without being able to go beyond the files that I am allowing to be able to modify, I can also choose if I can allow add more people or not, this being a plus for the security of my files. Another thing that I liked about being able to manage the people who can have certain files that I have given access to is that I can have a record of editions of all the people involved in the files allowed for modification, so I will know if someone has mistakenly deleted a file or simply have more control with the edits that are made to each file or folder. Also, with unlimited spaces I don't have to worry about the amount of storage per user, however you can't buy storage on lower Box plans, which I'll leave to the negatives.

    Cons: Considering the time I have used Box to store files in the cloud through this platform, I have not had so many problems that really block the normal use of Box, they are problems that occur occasionally and there has been a way to solve them but they should be heights are no longer present because they seem to be common errors which the developer team in charge of optimizing Box should solve these problems. The negative things that I have found in Box without the following:

    The synchronization has failed several times, especially when I want to have a file on a computer to a device because despite having verified that the file has been uploaded and that I am aware that it is in the Box cloud, I cannot find it on my box account on my other devices, I have even entered my account from the browser to verify that my file was uploaded, but when I enter the account through the applications for both mobile devices and for Windows or Mac these will take a long time to be processed, so I don't see my files instantly on all my linked devices. This doesn't always happen, but sometimes it does, and it can be a problem for me because the times I've solved it is by re-synchronizing everything, making the process slower in order to get only one file which is not synchronized.

    There is no way that I can increase the maximum storage limit that I am allowed with my plan. I understand that there are business plans that have unlimited capacity, but when it is not required to have all these features and what you want is to work with the basics both individually or with a team in a collaborative way, the 100 Gb falls short with the storage capacity that is needed currently, since the files that I handle with my work team are very heavy and both the load and the storage capacity that Box offers for teams is very short. That's why I had to upgrade to the business plan which has features that I'm not using and what I want to pay is for more GB of storage and upload, without having so many overwhelming tools.

    Overall: This cloud storage tool allows me to save any important documentation without having to have so many storage disks in my work environment, but I can back up everything in the cloud with only the Internet connection, since the applications that are installed in my different devices are not very heavy and do not affect the performance of my devices. With Box all my team can be connected without having to have tedious configurations and I can also work collaboratively with others, also with the security that this platform provides I can be sure that my team and I will not lose anything since Box prevents any intruder and also the versions of files and folders works so well that on several occasions I have had problems with the final versions of certain folders and I have been able to restore them calmly to the last version in which everything worked correctly.

    Keeping everything in one place and in the cloud in a place like Box has drastically reduced data leakage since that happened a lot from the occasional cyberattacks, so I don't have to worry about a intruder would like to steal sensitive information because all my files will be kept encrypted and safe within this platform.

    Box is very easy to implement to be able to have my files available anywhere, since I only have to install the application on all the devices where I want to install Box and I already have all my files linked and synchronized. This also works with shared files, so I can say that Box works for us to keep all the files of our work centrally without having to take care of the configuration and implementation part since I only have to manage my files and nothing else.

    "It is a good way to backup files to the cloud"

    Posted 2023-01-13

    Pros: It has easy access for any type of user or company, so it will not require complicated actions to be able to correctly use the platform and start managing the files, nor will prior or expert training be needed in this platform since it is managed like any file manager. from any operating system where you can easily sort folders with just drag and drop, create names, label files And many other features.

    It is very secure, and it also has advanced encryption that would make it very difficult to access the platform's accounts. In addition, you can manage a different form of security for the links that are generated from the box's shared files, so you don't have to worry when sharing a file with someone directly from this platform without sending it to a different email if you don't The links are simply shared with authorized persons. In case it was the most security you can assign email that can only open those files and also select passwords for any file both as individual password and password in general.

    You can work collaboratively with your work team, so this platform is ideal for project management since files can be exchanged and these files will only remain for the people involved in this project, it can also be integrated with project management applications to Facilitate access to files in relation to managed projects.

    There are several integrations that this platform has with others, one of them is the ability to open any type of document when it is integrated with Microsoft Office, Google Docs or a PDF document with Adobe Acrobat. It can also be integrated with various platforms for digital signatures such as Adobe Only or DocuSign. It can also be integrated with much more networking platform, as well as security such as antivirus. I am many more examples that can be given when using an integration with Box so there are no limits when wanting to use Box with other platforms.

    Cons: I would like it to have more options to be able to download certain documents, for example, download images in other formats so that it is easier to use those images at the moment, it can also be some other type of video to facilitate downloads and not necessarily download the original file, but rather a more compressed format can be downloaded to speed up downloads. This would be just as useful similar to what happens with the folders when they are downloaded since they are converted to Zip format and it makes it easier to have large files in one. So as we mentioned earlier it would be beneficial to be able to download documents or files of other formats without having to go through the manual trading process and each file.

    I would like you to install it as a system not only in the cloud but also that it can be integrated as a business solution to manage files locally, this would provide a solution to connection problems since you would have access directly from the local server and not only from Cloud. Currently I have had to configure a Box account on a computer and that several computers have access to that computer with box since it is the only one that will synchronize to the cloud and thus everyone has access to local Files and not only have access to the cloud .

    One downside for me personally is that I couldn't make it easy to have a shortcut to my toolbar in Windows, it would be easier to be able to access files in the Box cloud with one click without having to navigate between different folders or access from the shortcut that is on the desktop or any location that I can give to my computer. So having the ability to have a shortcut to the taskbar would make it much easier to access and quicker to be able to have the files that are within my Box account available.

    Overall: Completely Box has been a very comprehensive tool for our company since it has been able to unify as a center where the important files of each employee can be managed and stored. Box has allowed us to centralize my company's files without any inconvenience, in addition, the ease of handling its interface makes it much more practical for any user to manage Box without any barrier that prevents their files in the cloud.

    Box has definitely improved the way we protect our files within my company, as this data is very important to us and our customers. All documents such as contracts, presentations or spreadsheets are of the utmost importance to have a place where they have easy access and are also protected with great security so that third parties cannot easily enter and obtain said documents, so I fully trust on this platform without a doubt.

    The synchronization of all the files of any user and of any operating system is very good, it is very rare when there is a delay when uploading a document and you want to use that document on another device, however, I have no complaints with the synchronization between cloud and devices linked to this platform since everything is done instantly so I can access my files from one point to another once uploaded without problem.

    Prices can be a problem, but nevertheless there are good plans that could be afforded for small companies and individuals and they also offer free versions, but you have to be aware that they have certain limitations both in the ability to store files and in their security and integrity. For large companies there would be no problem using this platform or the plans it offers since they have good features that outperform the competition and the plans adapt very well to business needs.

    "Satisfaction due to the great ease of sharing various files."

    Posted 2022-12-27

    Pros: Box is a very complete platform to carry out all kinds of file transfers easily and in a few steps. The things I liked the most about Box were:

    1- The first thing I like about this platform is its accessibility, it is available for any type of device, Box can be used in its web version, use the downloadable version for computers or the version for mobile devices. I really loved the fact that this platform has excellent synchronization between devices, which helps all the files you upload to the cloud appear and be accessible from any device where you start with your Box account, this is very important to transfer files to the computer using your mobile device.

    2- All the videos stored in this cloud maintain the same original quality, this is very satisfactory and beneficial since in this way I have been able to share a large number of videos with my work team, in addition, I really loved being able to store various images without losing quality during the upload process, this made it easier for me to share images with my employees or with my colleagues in the company.

    3- I also liked that this platform allows me to share files with specific people, it has all the necessary privacy functions to be able to modify the display or privacy of each file for the participants of a work team. For example, if you have a folder shared with several colleagues, you can store multiple files within that folder and modify the view permissions so that only a specific group of employees can access it.

    4- The fourth thing I liked about Box is that it has an integrated encryption security for each file, also, this encryption security is implemented within the Box premium plan. Just by purchasing a subscription within this platform, I have been able to access most of the additional security features. In addition, I liked that this platform offers me a great quality-price comparison, I have been able to find very attractive plans with extensive storage space, this platform offers a very good comparison, it offers great quality for uploading and downloading files to a relatively low price compared to the competition or some alternatives.

    Cons: The things I didn't like about Box were:

    1- Box does not have a good editing of documents simultaneously with the participation of several people. This platform does not allow several people to modify a document at the same time, when this happens, the platform creates several automatic copies to avoid conflicts in document editing. This is a complete disadvantage since I have not been able to work online and modify documents with the collaboration of several colleagues, the .word and .excel documents that I have stored in the shared folder with my work group, it has allowed us only to exchange and share documents, but it has not allowed us the simultaneous editing of these documents, this made me very upset.

    2- Some documents cannot be viewed in the web version of Box. This web version is not capable of fully loading documents that contain a lot of information or images within it, this web version is only capable of loading some documents, which have limited information, causing users to compulsorily download some documents in order to view them or edit them.

    Overall: Box has achieved immediate satisfaction for our entire company due to the ease it gave us to quickly share files between work teams. Box has given us an extremely good experience for all our companies, it began to be used within our corporate sector, however, after the great effectiveness it had in our sector, we decided that the other employees of our company should start using it. Currently, Box is being used by approximately 900 employees in our company, and we are happy that most of the employees use it, since we don't have to continue using the old ways of transferring files, before we used removable drives to share files or we used our Wifi network to share files (this took forever to complete a 100% file transfer), so the best solution we have come up with is "Box". We consider that we will continue using this service for the next few years due to its great effectiveness and the excellent prices that they give us for an annual subscription, I am very satisfied.

    "Box helps make transferring files and documents much easier."

    Posted 2022-12-08

    Pros: Box is a great platform that has already perfected the way we transfer files and documents within my company. One of the main things that I liked about this platform is the free trial version, I used that version for about a week when I started using this platform, and I must highlight that this free version is really great, it helps me to know each of the functions Available on this platform, it also helped me to learn more about the file transfer process made by any company or any user. Another thing that I liked about this platform is that it has a fast file upload and download service, the servers of this platform work great, which helps the upload speed to never be affected in any way. Also, all files are downloaded quickly from my browser, with no speed limitations, since Box's servers are working properly. Another of the features that I liked about this platform is the shared folder, this shared folder means a lot to me, since to share files with my work team I don't have to send them any type of link, just by entering these files within the shared folder is automatically synchronized with the cloud and each of the participants that are integrated into that shared folder will be able to access and view or edit all those files or documents stored in that folder. In addition, each document that is stored within this shared folder can be edited simultaneously and collaboratively with your work team, for example, you can be editing a document at any time and request the collaboration of a colleague to edit the document together.

    Cons: The main feature that I didn't like about this platform is that I can't modify the overall design of the interface, currently only basic mode and dark mode are available to use inside the main panel, however, I can't apply a different design to my main panel of cloud storage, selections to be able to modify it and it will go to general of the version for computers, the web version or a version for mobile devices, this would help me feel much more comfortable. The second negative thing that this platform has is that all the videos that I upload within it and share it with someone else, that video will drop in quality, that person will download that video and it will not have the same quality as the original video, this is something negative since I would like to share all kinds of Videos with people through cloud storage without the need for quality to be affected, I do not recommend at all that it is the platform that will be used to share Videos with other people, since It does not offer me a positive experience, the Videos drop a lot in quality when they are shared through this medium. The third negative feature is that support is almost non-existent within that platform, if you have a problem with any type of file that you have recently uploaded or if you have a problem with a plan that you have purchased within this platform, contact the support team is almost impossible, since they respond to the request after 48 hours have passed, it seems like a long time to receive help.

    Overall: Box is a great platform to improve cloud storage within your company, this platform has really brought groundbreaking results for my financial services company, since I have been able to store a lot of financial information about our company and I can also store privileged information and confidential of our entire company. I have really loved the upload speed and download speed of each of the files, in addition, I have loved being able to share files with my colleagues through a shared folder which also helps me edit files or documents simultaneously, I loved the overall experience, even though the design you currently have is pretty basic, and the only way to change it is by using dark mode, hopefully in the future just better features to improve overall interface customization. The application for mobile devices behaves in a positive way, it is the same as the version for computers and the web version, although I consider that it is very necessary to improve the video upload within this cloud storage application, I would love to share Videos with my colleagues through this medium.

    "It gives me security in managing files in the cloud."

    Posted 2022-12-05

    Pros: + The most interesting thing that for me is a strong positive point is that I can see almost any type of file, be it image, video, text, audio, compressed file, reading file, etc. In addition, I can also edit practically any text file such as documents, presentations, spreadsheets, among others. It's useful to be able to have that feature without downloading the file when I have to do minimal editing. On the other hand, it's useful for when I'm sharing a file and want to make changes without re-uploading it and generating a new link.

    + I can put signatures digitally, although for the most basic plans there is a limitation for X number of signatures per month. In that case I would use another platform for signatures, but I like that you can do them in Box and unlimited in case you need several signatures per month, so it's a good plus point for this platform.

    + The management of the links generated by Box to share is very complete. It allows me to choose which user can see what I share through a link, as well as allow them or not to edit a file if necessary. I can also configure a link so that it is public and can only be opened through a previously configured password.

    + The interface is complete and practical that can be used by anyone since no knowledge or experience is required to manage files within the Box cloud. It's usually just like any file manager app on a smartphone, it's as simple as that.

    + I like that it can include several users at the same time within the same plan, in addition to this it is reassuring when it allows me to add more users, of course paying an extra price. However, I didn't need to create multiple Box accounts, instead everything is in one space to keep my business organized when sharing important files.

    + Finally, I like that it is cross-platform, so I can have my files and those of my company anywhere without having to download again or take some type of external storage to have my files available. It was enough for me to install Box on the devices I use on a daily basis to have all my files at my fingertips.

    Cons: - The technical support is very confusing when it comes to giving solutions, when it sends instructions to help, they are not very clear, so I end up choosing external solutions such as forums or a website that gives me a solution to my problem. This is a great inconvenience the fact of not receiving support even paying a high monthly fee for their services.

    - It's a bit pricey in relation to other competitions, the only thing that can save the price is certain different features that support the cost of Box, however, it lacks certain features that I hope they integrate throughout their updates.

    - It has loss protection, but it does not have a history of rewinding as such, but it does so from backup copies made in a certain period and it is not very easy to understand. I would like it to be more flexible with that aspect as it is very important for my company to be able to have full control when it comes to deleting a file by mistake.

    - Sometimes the performance of the Windows application slows down the computer when it is synchronizing. This hinders my workflow by having to wait for everything to sync before I can continue what I'm doing. It would be nice if I could choose the amount of resources that Box will consume on my computer.

    - Simultaneous editing within Box has difficulties in being stable since it happens that when someone is editing the text of a spreadsheet not all team members who are working on the same sheet see the changes reflected. This means that we do not work this function like this, but we do it on third-party platforms and make changes within Box. when only necessary.

    Overall: Within my company, I needed to find a solution to my problem of keeping all the files that are handled without the need to configure complicated servers so that the employees and I can have the files at all times and also be able to share them without any problem. Our easiest and most effective solution was to use a cloud system that met all the needs we had before implementing Box.

    It was easy for me to implement this platform within my company since with just a simple drag and drop I could upload files to the cloud, I could also easily organize the files and have my files present on all my devices linked to Box. When I want to share a file with one or more of my employees, it is enough to generate links within this same platform and configure different security for different types of file importance that you want to share, so having full control of my files was the best for me. protect important files of my company.

    The storage was the least of it, the almost unlimited capacity that Box can offer me is the best, although it could improve on its prices. However, I have not had any leaks or data loss in my entire career using this platform. Also, that with the security of encryption that it brings, I can keep myself sure that my company files are compromised.

    I have saved costs by not needing to create a private server to store my company files, nor do I have to spend on maintenance or expensive repairs when something goes wrong, I did not even have to hire an expert to manage my files in the Box cloud. I simply created my account, configured it, added to the work team and downloaded the applications that are available in the different operating systems to start managing all the files in the cloud.

    "Box is the best option to protect and save storage space."

    Edited 2022-11-22

    Pros: Box is a very efficient service when it comes to remembering all kinds of files, I use that platform for about three years, I started using it for my personal use, since I needed to store my important documents, then I proceeded to use it within my company, and it really I don't regret the results. One of the first things that I loved about this service is the great person it has for voice users, when I started using this platform the #free version was quite complete, it offered functions I'll say professional tools to remember all kinds of archives, in addition, it offered me a perfect functionality to share files directly through a shared link. Another thing that I like about what comes out of this platform is that I can work online with others, I will share folders in a shared workspace, since this platform has excellent integration with the Office 365 system, in this way In this way, all documents can be edited online with the collaboration of your work team, you can see all the changes in real time and you will be able to modify all types of documents with the collaboration of your colleagues. In addition, let me know what this platform allows me to work offline, it allows me to do it from any device and edit the files that are in the cloud without the need for an Internet connection, since a copy of each file is created within the device mobile, so you can edit it from your phone or your computer without having an Internet connection.

    Cons: One of the main problems with this platform is regarding how high its prices are, I consider that this is a very expensive platform compared to other cloud services that offer the same storage services for a much lower price, for which, I believe that this platform should lower its prices a bit, however, the main feature that makes it different from other software is that this platform allows you to work together thanks to the Office 365 system, you can edit documents together. Another of the negative characteristics of this platform is that it does not have any type of trash system that is capable of storing deleted files, therefore, after having deleted a file from the cloud, you will not be able to recover it, this is quite a function. It is important that I consider that it has to be implemented as soon as possible, since on some occasions I have mistakenly deleted files and documents that are important to me, and I would love to be able to recover those documents or files quickly, with a trash system, whatever capable of storing data files for a limited time.

    Overall: Box is a service that is very worthwhile, mainly because it allows you to use it with an Internet connection or without an Internet connection, in the same way you will have access to the cloud and you will be able to avoid all kinds of documents or files. I have loved the loss of your life with this cloud storage platform, I consider that it has helped me a lot to protect each of the files that we handle in this company, in addition, it has allowed me to quickly share files with my work team , I no longer have to send the files through an email, just by using this platform I can upload any type of file to the cloud and share it with my colleagues through a shared folder or through a direct link. I hope to continue having your order is complete inside my furniture Prezi, since more than 500 employees in this company are using this service to remember all the important files, I consider that this has helped a lot to save storage space on the hard drives that are using our computers in business offices. Box It is a very complete service, which offered me a very complete free version, however, I fully trust that improvements will be made to implement a trash service and also to reduce the high prices.

    "Effectiveness and average when it comes to storing various files and protecting photos."

    Edited 2022-10-24

    Pros: Box is an incredible platform that will always focus on providing the user with a totally secure storage space in the cloud, with the help of this platform for storing all kinds of documents, in addition, to use it for free since its limit to store new files of free of charge, there are quite extensive. One of the main things that I like about this platform is that it allows you to obtain an encryption key for each of your files automatically, this encryption key is integrated into the free version system, as well as it is integrated into the paid version, so you will never have any kind of problem for me to your files with a decryption key, you can always have a chance to use this encryption keys feature. Another thing that I like about this platform is that you can modify files in real time and you can also modify documents with simultaneous editing. That means that you will be able to avoid all types of documents and add document content while some other colleague from your company or from your work team also edit the document, this function is very important and allows you to work online avoiding any type of document with the support of your work team, this function is relatively important for any company.

    Cons: One of the main problems that this platform has is its great incompatibility with the visualization of videos and images that are stored in the cloud, I have noticed that on some occasions it is not possible to open lines of each of the video files that are stored, so as well as on some occasions it is not possible to have a preview of the images that are stored in this cloud, therefore, this forces users to download that video file or that image to be able to view them correctly, this happens a lot and here this platform has some incompatibility to read some video formats or some image formats. Another of the negative things that this platform has is how high its prices are, the platform is very beneficial and provides a fairly optimal cloud service, however, to use one of the payment plans, you will have to pay a fee really high compared to other alternatives that are a little more accessible with their prices.

    Overall: One of the main reasons why I have had a fairly good experience with this platform is because it has allowed me to protect each of the important documents that we handle in this company, we are a financial services company that cares a lot about keeping information safe. of each of our clients, since this helps us to keep all this information confidential. I really loved the experience I had with this platform, I consider that the general platform was enough, to use, I was able to adapt very quickly to each of the functionalities of this platform, I was able to store each of our files in a simple way, in addition, I was able to share all these files and documents directly by simply using a simple shared link. This platform is also capable of creating a shared folder on the desktop, for which this folder will serve so that all the files that are stored within it have been uploaded to the cloud immediately, so that you do not have to open it manually. the platform. In addition, I am also going to omit that the experience obtained from the platform for mobile devices has been quite good, from my mobile phone I have been able to store various things that I have on my mobile device, I have been able to store various images within my gallery, as well as I have also been able to store important files from my phone.
