Box Struggling Under Microsoft Drive
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on March 23, 2021, 9:36 PMBox, just like Dropbox, cannot just compete in the age of Microsoft. I used to use Dropbox but when Microsoft added Drive in the Office365 bundle, there was simply no value paying for Dropbox, as Microsoft has everything. The challenge is not who is making a better product, the issue is simply bundling is better. Microsoft Drive, even if not great, is just fine when you consider other things which come with it.
Like Discord, "cloud" storage provider Box is exploring a sale, Reuters reports. The difference is that Box is facing pressure from Starboard Value, a hedge fund, over years of lagging stock performance as it battles a stiff competitor in—guess who?—Microsoft. Box's share price jumped 10% on Monday after news broke of the possible buyer search. (Fortune newsletter)
