User reviews

Highly recommend to those that save their photos on other apps ...I've find that with popular apps like well you know over time the photos get blurry they get to where sometimes faces disappear well it's been my experience plus if you forget your password it's hard to get them back. Here they stay in tack just as the way you put them up n besides who wants everybody seeing your best times in life here you share a link w with another person and that's it ..and with music ditto the same benefit

I actually really love Box, and I will update my rating if I can get an answer to this issue. I'm trying to download a video onto my phone from Box and I thought it finally uploaded but when I press the transfer button the app crashes and closes. Every. Time. Why is this happening? I cleared cache, even forced stopped it. But it keeps crashing.

Box has been a very handy and useful service for me. I have been using it for several years now, and it has always worked very well. I can upload from my phone or my PC, and download to either. It's easy to create folders and organize content, as well as to invite viewers or fellow editors. I can recommend Box to everyone (and have), with no reservations. Well done Box!
