Boxbee VS ShellNewHandler

• Pickup and delivery convenience
  Boxbee's model was to collect items from your home and store them in a warehouse, so customers didn't have to rent a unit, rent a truck, or haul boxes themselves. Items could be returned on request.
• Pay per item pricing
  Boxbee charged by the box or item rather than by unit size. This suited people with only a few things to store, since they didn't pay for a full unit.
• Photo-based inventory
  Stored items were typically photographed and cataloged in an online account, so customers could see what they had in storage and request specific items back without a trip to a facility.
• Flexible, low-commitment storage
  Storage was generally month-to-month with no long-term contracts, which suited short-term needs such as moving, traveling, or seasonal storage.
• Good for urban dwellers
  The service targeted city residents with small apartments and limited space. It offered a simple way to declutter without leaving the home or having a car.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited service availability
  Boxbee operated only in a small number of metro areas, mainly in the San Francisco Bay Area, so most people could not use it.
• Uncertain current status
  The company has been reported as acquired or merged into other storage services, and its site may not offer the same service today. Customers should check that it is still operating and what its current terms are.
• Costly for large volumes
  Per-item pricing can add up when storing many items or bulky furniture, and a traditional self-storage unit or a competitor can be cheaper at that scale.
• Fees for retrieval and delivery
  Pickup, redelivery, and return trips often carried extra fees. Frequent access to stored items becomes expensive and inconvenient compared with a unit you can visit whenever you like.
• Limited control and item restrictions
  Because items are handled and stored by staff in a shared warehouse, you can't access them directly. Some items, such as hazardous, perishable, or very valuable ones, are prohibited, and there is a risk of damage or loss in handling.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
