Box holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Box has 190K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Box's written reviews are positive against 67% of SharePlus for Office 365's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Box ships an update every 3 weeks, SharePlus for Office 365 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 27, 2026 respectively.
