Ratings and reviews

Almost perfect, nothing to complain about one thing. If the file has several pages, you always see the first page after closing the app. If you have a Excel sheet with 50 pages and stopped at page 45 i.e., you have to scroll back through 45 pages after reopening the app. This is quite annoyio. Please fix the issue within the next updates. Many thanks 🙋🏼‍♂️

Very good alternative to Dropbox, if only... First, reading only this app, it wins 4 to 5 stars. In fact it offers a very good alternative to the Dropbox offers, but to me there is one thing missing to make Box bring an excellent alternative and this the support of the Linux OS. There is no client for the Linux system and this s real disadvantage in comparison to Dropbox. There are some tries around the net to make it available using WebDAV even if it is not yet supported by the Box team.

The app does what it says and Is great for storage, however, the app is prone to a specific glitch where it will calculate file sizes wrong and will say that you're over the allotted limit when you indeed are not. Perhaps it is because I use the free account, but customer service is non-existent for customers who simply want to store pictures and videos for personal use. App has a lot of potential to be the best on the market, but has some things to fix first.
