Amium vs Box: What are the differences?
Developers describe Amium as "Turn any file into a real-time activity feed and conversation". Amium turns every file into a conversation thread and activity feed. Files are synced and shared so you can work on them together and in real-time. Changes show up immediately in the conversation thread, and will also sync to your device. On the other hand, Box is detailed as "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.
Amium and Box belong to "File Storage" category of the tech stack.
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.
