FAQ

What is cloud storage?

With cloud storage, data is stored across a network of servers maintained by cloud storage providers. Documents in the cloud can be accessed online across all types of desktop and mobile devices and via various internet applications.

How does cloud storage work?

Third-party providers like Box offer cloud storage to end users. These providers own and maintain the cloud storage space, durability, and security to ensure that applications and end users can reliably and securely access files across geographies and devices.

Why should I use Box as my cloud storage service?

Box offers unparalleled space, security, and durability in the cloud, which is why nearly three quarters of the Fortune 500 use Box. Beyond secure cloud storage, Box offers features to help organizations seamlessly collaborate, build automated workflows, and integrate with other applications.

How is data stored in the cloud?

Data stored “in the cloud” is actually stored in off-site servers, rather than on an organization’s own system or equipment. Cloud storage companies maintain the data centers that house these servers and allow end users or applications to access the data via the internet.
