AeroFS vs Box: What are the differences?

AeroFS: Enterprise File Sharing and Collaboration. Like Dropbox, but behind your firewall. Your files are never stored on AeroFS servers. AeroFS enables you to share and collaborate while keeping full control over your data, even when sharing with your customers, vendors, and partners; Box: Build Innovative Applications on Box. The Box API gives you access to the content management features you see in our web app and lets you extend them for use in your own app. It strives to be RESTful and is organized around the main resources you’re familiar with from the Box web interface.

AeroFS and Box belong to "File Storage" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by AeroFS are:

  • Unlimited Storage
  • Your Own Private Cloud
  • One-click installation of AeroFS clients.

On the other hand, Box provides the following key features:

  • Enterprise-grade file sharing
  • Native mobile apps
  • File sharing links
Decisions about AeroFS and Box
Pascal Vuylsteler

Key criteria for that choice. I needed a collaborative backup tool for a 15 people team. All people would have access to both their individual private space that should synchronize automatically to/from their desktop and various shared spaces, with various kinds of access rights. Only Box would allow high fine tuning of the access rights. Multi-platform was important too. The ease to transfer ownership of a folder from one departing colleague to their N+1 was a real plus.
