Best for

• Companies in regulated industries such as legal, finance and healthcare
• Teams that share files with many outside clients and partners
• IT teams that need admin controls and audit trails

What we like

• Unlimited storage from the Business plan at $15 per user a month billed yearly
• Granular permissions, audit trails and compliance features for regulated teams
• Box Sign e-signatures included on every plan
• Integrates with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack and Salesforce

What to watch

• Every business plan needs at least 3 users, so solo users and pairs overpay
• Low upload limits on cheaper plans: 250 MB free, 2 GB on Business Starter
• No Linux desktop app
• More admin features than a person or small team needs
