Box

Box is the original enterprise cloud storage and content collaboration company, founded in 2005 and primarily aimed at organisations where compliance, security, and granular permissioning matter more than slick design. The 2026 lineup keeps a free Individual plan with 10GB of storage and a Personal Pro plan at $10/month for 100GB.

Business pricing starts at Business Starter for $5/user/month with 100GB of storage and a 2GB file size cap, requiring a three-seat minimum. Business Plus at $25/user/month annually lifts the file size to 15GB and adds Box Relay workflow automation.

Enterprise is custom-quoted, typically landing $35-$55 per user per month for standard tiers. The pricing model assumes you're committing for a year, with month-to-month options costing roughly 30-35% more per user.

For podcasters, Box rarely makes sense as your primary storage. The file size limits on entry plans don't fit raw video podcast workflows, and the per-user pricing punishes small teams. Where it does fit is when your podcast lives inside a larger company that already uses Box organisation-wide, particularly in healthcare, financial services, or law.

In that case the integration with existing IT, the audit trail, and the HIPAA-compliant handling of content is genuinely useful, and the marginal cost is essentially zero. Standalone, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive are easier sells. Box's reason to exist is enterprise compliance, and that's where it earns its money.
