Description
Box is a cloud platform used by enterprises to store, organize, and share unstructured content: documents, presentations, contracts, and other files. It positions itself as an intelligent content management system that combines secure collaboration with AI-driven insight and automation, aimed at organizations that need to manage large volumes of content while keeping sensitive data under control.

The core of the AI layer is Box AI, which pulls real-time summaries, deep analysis, and answers out of content stored in Box, using a choice of underlying models from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. Box AI Agents extend this into workflow automation: a drag-and-drop builder lets teams design multi-step processes such as loan processing or employee onboarding, and Box AI Studio lets admins customize agents for their own workflows. Box Extract targets a narrower job, reading contracts, bank statements, and similar documents to pull out structured fields automatically instead of requiring manual data entry.
Beyond AI, Box covers the everyday content-management workload: file sharing and co-editing with internal and external collaborators, e-signatures through Box Sign (offered free on paid plans), and a content API for developers building on top of the platform. Security features include deep learning based malware detection, real-time threat alerts, automated content classification, and compliance support for GDPR, HIPAA, and FINRA, along with FedRAMP Moderate authorization on its higher enterprise tier. The platform lists more than 1,500 third-party app integrations.
Box's plans run from a free Individual tier (10 GB of storage, a 250 MB upload limit, and a handful of e-signature requests a month) up through Business, Business Plus, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, and Enterprise Advanced tiers, all billed per user per month with a three-user minimum on business plans. Storage becomes unlimited from the Business tier up, and named AI usage allowances (measured in "AI Units") increase at each enterprise tier, alongside larger per-file upload limits and, at the top tier, custom Box Agents with expanded context. Box does not publish per-tier dollar prices on its site; the top tier, Enterprise Advanced, is quote-only.
Box is built for enterprise IT and content teams rather than individual consumers. Its industry pages and case studies target banking, government, law firms, life sciences, insurance, manufacturing, energy, retail, and education, among others, where content compliance and cross-team collaboration are recurring needs.
