Overview
Box, Inc. (NYSE: BOX), headquartered in Redwood City, California, was started in 2005 and states that 97,000 companies and 68% of the Fortune 500 are customers[11]. It now describes itself as an Intelligent Content Management platform. For the second quarter of fiscal 2027 (to 31 July 2026) Box reported record revenue of US$321.1 million, up 9%, and remaining performance obligations of US$1.7 billion, attributing growth to its Enterprise Advanced plan[12].
Box is less a consumer drive than a governed content layer. A free Individual plan gives 10 GB with a 250 MB upload limit, and Personal Pro gives 100 GB with a 5 GB limit[10]. Business plans require at least three users and offer unlimited storage, with single-file upload limits rising from 5 GB on Business to 15 GB on Business Plus, 50 GB on Enterprise, 150 GB on Enterprise Plus and 500 GB on Enterprise Advanced[10]. The pricing page advertises plans from US$5 per user per month but did not display per-plan prices when reviewed[10]. Upload caps on lower tiers and the three-user minimum make Box a poor fit for individuals.
