Amazon Zocalo vs Box: What are the differences?
What is Amazon Zocalo? Fully managed, secure enterprise storage and sharing service. Users can comment on files, send them to others for feedback, and upload new versions without having to resort to emailing multiple versions of their files as attachments.
What is 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.
Amazon Zocalo and Box can be primarily classified as "File Storage" tools.
Some of the features offered by Amazon Zocalo are:
- Simple Document Feedback
- Central Hub
- Access and Sync from Any Device
On the other hand, Box provides the following key features:
- Enterprise-grade file sharing
- Native mobile apps
- File sharing links
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.
