Box vs Kloudless: What are the differences?
Developers describe Box 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. On the other hand, Kloudless is detailed as "Integrate a single cloud storage API in the place of many". Kloudless is the last cloud storage API you'll ever need. Integrate a single REST API instead of many and use our UI tools to quickly build cloud storage support into your app. We maintain all the integrations so you can focus on building awesome products.
Box and Kloudless belong to "File Storage" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Box are:
- Enterprise-grade file sharing
- Native mobile apps
- File sharing links
On the other hand, Kloudless provides the following key features:
- Cloud Storage REST API for files and folders
- Search
- Access Controls
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.
