Overview
What is Box?
Where Box fits
Box is built for organizations that want one controlled content layer across departments, partners, and devices. Files sit in shared workspaces rather than personal drives, with comments, tasks, rich previews, and metadata around them. The strongest case is regulated or distributed work: administrators can apply retention schedules, classifications, access policies, and audit trails centrally. That control is useful, but it takes deliberate folder design and ownership to keep a large deployment understandable.
How the tiers divide
- Free individual: Includes 10 GB of storage and a 250 MB upload limit.
- Personal Pro: Raises storage and file-size allowances for one person.
- Business plans: Charge per user and add team administration, broader collaboration, and progressively stronger controls.
- Enterprise packages: Put advanced compliance and content-security options at the top end, with some purchases handled through sales.
