That’s ok for myself but there’s no way I expect all the users to use an ftp client to constantly upload files to Box. Is that acceptable loosing over 300,000 files?ģ) I asked support why Box Sync is so slow and they told me to use FTP instead. They don't have a clue so I just told them to forget about it. All they done was reset the file count and size but the files were still missing. When I checked the folder it showed 0 files, 0 GB, where before it was showing the right amount of files and the correct files size but with an empty directory. It took Box support 10 days to tell me they had run a script and that everything is now ok. So I had to re-open a Sharefile account again.Ģ) Over 300,000 files went missing. Businesses use servers, consumers use their desktops. Want to sync your file server or folders on your file server? Forget it, you can't do it. Complete LIE - it still doesn't support Windows 2003, Windows 2008 nor Windows 2010. Went over this many times with Box and we were reassured it will work well with Box. I will debate with anyone who says that box is a business product as it is clearly not, I would not use it if it were free for personal data and here is why:ġ) We used Sharefile for sync files on our file server that where external partners and other departments collaborated on. Well, what a big mistake we made setting up an enterprise account, as we were 'led up the garden path'. So we covered all my previous concerns and past experiences and was re-assured many times that all our use cases would be covered plus more.

A few months back we had conference calls with Box again as other sister companies were interested in Box.

We moved to Sharefile, which has been a very positive experience. A few years back we moved away from Box.com / Box.net due to many problems that box could not resolve.
