Interesting... It took a few clicks to find out what Box is: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/201207836-What-is-...

I wonder, what's the incentive to use Box instead of Dropbox? The space is nice, but trust isn't so easily earned. I'm wondering why to trust Box with personal files.

You could ask those exact same questions about Dropbox.

Box has the same data protections as Dropbox (Box: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/200713418-Data-Sec... Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/help/27/en)

Trust is something very subject but they have been in the industry over a long time. Box was started before Dropbox in 2005. It has been focusing on enterprises till now. I guess with the new iOS app and free space they are planning to move to the consumer market.

If it is free you could try it, no need to put your most sensitive documents on Box. Get the free 50GB and wait some time until you think the service can be trusted.

What is wrong with Box in storing personal files? Dropbox and Box both provide the same service.

Are u saying users trust Dropbox more than Box?

Surely you are trolling. Box has a much more sophisticated offering for enterprise customers, including a platform where third parties can offer apps for business users.

I think they only offer such a large amount free because they don't allow you to store large files and that is what they want you to pay for.

Edit: you can see here maximum file size is 250mb without paying https://www.box.com/pricing/
