  • Sharepoint Alternatives?
    I've used box.com with pretty good results, but expect to pay through the nose for the privilege. Source: 5 months ago
  • I NEED HELP
    So I have all my mountain goats stuff on my Spotify local files, I found a random comment here from like 4 years ago with this guys box.com storage collection of all of his mountain goats songs, recently the link stopped working :( if anyone has it (i know its a pretty niche ask) I would love to have it back. Source: 10 months ago
  • Now that Google Drive is starting to limit, what's your migration plan?
    Alright. Mind if I check with you a couple weeks from now to see how this turns out for you? I've never heard of box.com. I'm checking out their website now. Source: 10 months ago
  • What is everyone’s opinion on these demos getting leaked?
    You would be surprised how stupid Label employees can be, they even give stuff that is "confidential" to unpaid interns to post on their internal pages like box.com or their disco.ac pages. I've seen so many demos, instrumentals and albums posted somewhere public because they got someone to do a half assed job at it. Source: 10 months ago
  • Copy of my laptop on my desktop
    I often use dropbox, box.com or google drive for files/folders I want the share between my Ubuntu laptop and server, I also do the same with a local server drive - the cloud services are handy if I'm not at home and need to access something. Source: 10 months ago
  • Too many API calls
    Hi, looks like im using too many API calls from my box.com account. Source: 10 months ago
  • How to disable "save to OneDrive" in Word?
    I work with box.com and have a very oldschool file system, using folders with names, right?! Source: 11 months ago
  • what scan app that lets you take picture of document do you like?
    I use app from box.com to scan docs. Works pretty well. Source: 12 months ago
  • CRM to Track jobs bid/won with tracking salaries, commission splits and expenses
    As desribed the job could be done for around 90% in around 20 hours (box.com and calculations could require additional time). Source: 12 months ago
  • alternative to soundcloud for sharing demos privately?
    A lot of dropbox suggestions, but I much prefer box.com - it has a killer feature of treating a folder like a playlist. With dropbox you can only listen to one track at a time then have to navigate back to folder and select the next one. Box will play them all in order like a playlist (on the mobile app). Source: 12 months ago
  • Box.com Business Account Share
    Looking for an open spot on a box.com account, not sure I want to front the full $60USD. Willing to pay via PayPal monthly. Source: 12 months ago
  • process of migrating from on-prem AD DCs to pure Azure AD / Intune only
    Because of going full remote, we don't want anything on-prem anymore, and we really don't have any need. Our AD use cases are very basic (basically just login, we barely use group policy) not using any SMB shares anymore (all on box.com) no printers or anything. We have a VPN appliance but will probably figure out some solution for our gatewayed resources that doesn't involve a vpn, or use a software one. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Shared storage
    Google Drive, specifically Google Shared Drives will likely do what you need. It also has the benefit that you can cut the cost of box.com without incurring any additional operational expense. Source: about 1 year ago
  • good cloud services with webdav support?
    I have noticed it is possible to use webdav to host the Zotero Library and I'm using box.com at the moment but I don't know how long they are going to support webdav connection, so I was wondering if there was any good cloud service that has official webdav support that any of you commonly use. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Reorganizing my systems. Please give some tips to a LastPass refugee.
    Tier 5 - Social Media and accounts for services (box.com, lookout, pdf24.com etc..). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Why isn’t Box cloud storage available?
    You should be able to connect to box.com via WebDAV, but according to this information they do not actively support the WebDAV interface anymore and just provide it "as it is". So you may be unlucky as well. Source: about 1 year ago
  • 💡 Build (AI?) for Box
    Most people think of Dropbox or Google Drive for sharing files, but you know what enterprises use surprisingly often? Box. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • ADFS Configuration Sanity Check - O365 & Third Party Apps
    Hello There. I have a client that I have never worked with before that has asked me to advise them on modernising their IdP. They currently have a combination of Active Directory, synching to AzureAD, but using ADFS for Auth. In addition to using ADFS for 365 authentication, they are also using several other applications (box.com for example) as well as using LDAP against the on-prem for some on-prem apps. Source: about 1 year ago
  • What can my IT department see?
    I know they can track what is put on and off of our box.com servers, but can they see what I have downloaded from my personal database separate from the company? Source: about 1 year ago
  • Why do websites put their user id entry and password entry on separate pages? It drives me crazy.
    However, how does the service provider (box.com) know to use your Identity Provider (https://okta.mycompany.com/) instead of another company's Identity Provider? Do you put a drop down to select an organization to log in with? This approach has the disadvantage of letting the world know who does business with you, as well as having some pretty bad UX - think of a drop down that would need thousands of entries to... Source: about 1 year ago
  • How to filter Duplicates and mark an unique value with certain conditions.
    I was thinking that the solution can be some sort of formula in the DUPLICATES column that can tag unique entries ONCE when the TYPE (column A) is an Article or a non drive.com, box.com, etc. (MAYBE?). Source: over 1 year ago
