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.
Edit: you can see here maximum file size is 250mb without paying https://www.box.com/pricing/
I found that comment a bit jarring. Is 250MB file size max and 50GB total storage for free considered to be stingy now?
(See also the limits on monthly transfer.)
Now I just use Amazon Glacier and my "Box" is empty.
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)

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.

Generally Box is well known for its security, whereas Dropbox accomplishes a solution to its problem but I wouldn't trust confidential files on it.
And do you have a link to what usage is HIPPA compliant? A free account probably isn't one of them. Though I could be wrong.
If the paid and free accounts use the same resources (e.g. same hosting configuration, same data centers), the free accounts would also be compliant.
Dropbox is a great sync client with good sharing features that aspires to be like an iCloud without the apple baggage.
Box can be used with things like hippa data, so it's likely more tightly managed and secure.
