Ratings and reviews

Viewing portrait-oriented pictures while in landscape automatically zooms the picture to fill the screen forcing you to rotate your phone back to portrait orientation to view the whole picture. Additionally, I have no way to dissociate the app from my company's Microsoft Intune app even though I'm signed in only with my personal email and do not use the app for work. This means I'm unable to enable a pin code or biometrics. Ridiculous experience, Box. Total garbage.

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.

I avoid most of the user interface functionality; I have no use for it. However I use it daily via Box Sync. Since Box Sync works so well, I assume the API is good enough. I have no complaints, so this must be a good, reliable, and usable Network File Server. However, it is aimed at commercial users and thus, expensive and provides storage in huge chunks. In this regard I prefer Google's Drive.
