Box also does well in terms of security and data protection. The cloud service supports customer-managed file encryption using the AWS (Amazon Web Services) key management service. Companies even have the option of backing up necessary encryption keys themselves by using an optional hardware security module (HSM). In order to comply with regional data protection guidelines, the cloud provider uses data centers of international partners (e.g., in Germany, Ireland, Japan and Australia).
Like many other cloud storage systems in this comparison, Box offers desktop clients for macOS and Windows as well as mobile apps for iOS and Android with which you can access your cloud storage (Box Drive) or create notes (Box Notes) from the device of your choice. Box provides up to 10 GB of storage space free of charge for its users (upload size limited to 250 MB per file). You can, however, upgrade to a paid plan for more space and faster uploads.
