Ratings and reviews

I'm in a music group that shares rehearsal recordings, agendas, etc. The desktop version is great but navigating thru folders within the app is horribly difficult. After using it off & on for about a year (since I joined the group), I've deleted and am just using a home screen link to the website. I've found that way more intuitive and functional.

It does what it says it will. The problem i have is not huge but annoying. It's supposed to help organize files and folders yet doesn't have a duplicates function and if a picture (for example) is renamed, compressed or the date of last modification is changed, then it may be uploaded again no problem. The other issue is when anything with a transparent background is uploaded to Box there's no way to tell it apart from a white background; even if the image is opened it's still just white.

This used to be a super-convenient app! It was excellent for backup of data and sharing of data. Unfortunately for the last several weeks it has become largely unusable. Whenever I select a stored image to view it displays for a moment. Then the screen blanks and I am unable to view the image again even though it appears in list view. After attempting to view three or more files the app crashes. Please fix this issue.
