Where ShareAndGo genuinely lapses Box

Use the AI you're already paying for.

Box's own agent, Box Agent, comes with Enterprise Plus: A$70 per user per month, minimum three users, so A$210 a month before you add a document. Box also connects to Claude and ChatGPT through its MCP server.

ShareAndGo speaks the Model Context Protocol natively. Connect your existing claude.ai or ChatGPT subscription as a custom connector. Your AI gets read access by default, optional write access on opt-in, all gated by per-room owner consent. The same multi-step agent capability is on every ShareAndGo plan, including the NZ$59/month Professional tier.

Honest scope: claude.ai web is brilliant for reading, searching, and asking questions across data rooms, and for small writes like creating rooms or moving documents. Bulk file uploads via claude.ai web are slow today (Anthropic sandbox limit), so use the ShareAndGo web UI or Claude Desktop for that. Read more at supported environments.

Pick Box if...

You need a horizontal cloud storage / collaboration platform across the whole organisation, not just a VDR for transactional sharing.
Unlimited storage and 50GB+ file uploads are hard requirements (large media, design files, datasets).
Your procurement requires FedRAMP Moderate, HIPAA, or 1,500+ ecosystem integrations today.
You're happy paying per user as the team grows.

Pick ShareAndGo if...

You're a New Zealand accountant, adviser, or legal team who want documents stored in Sydney and per-engagement document control.
You want flat per-workspace pricing. Predictable, doesn't scale with headcount.
You'd rather use your own Claude or ChatGPT subscription, on every plan, than pay Box per user for its own assistant.
You need NDA gating, tamper-evident audit, AI PII detection, and Q&A workflows out of the box.
Your external recipients should get a secure, tracked room without being added as Box collaborators.

ShareAndGo or Box: who should choose what

Choose ShareAndGo if…

You want a purpose-built virtual data room rather than general content cloud
You prefer flat pricing over per-user licensing
You want documents stored in Sydney and a tamper-evident audit trail

Choose Box if…

You need a broad enterprise content platform across the whole organisation
Deep integrations with many business apps matter more than VDR-specific controls

Frequently asked questions

Is ShareAndGo a good alternative to Box?

For NZ professional services teams sharing documents externally (accountants, lawyers, M&A advisers, tax consultants), yes. ShareAndGo's flat per-workspace pricing costs less than Box's annual-billing per-user prices at 10 to 25 users, with documents stored in Sydney, NDA gating from Professional, and an MCP server for your own Claude or ChatGPT on every plan.

How does pricing actually compare?

Box Business is A$21 per user per month billed annually, or A$28 billed monthly, with a minimum of 3 users, so A$63 a month at the minimum on annual billing. A 10-person team pays A$210 a month on annual billing. ShareAndGo Professional is NZ$59/month flat for up to 10 members. That's roughly 3.5× less at 10 users, and about 9× less at 25 users (Box Business Plus at A$35 per user billed annually, against ShareAndGo Business).

What's 'bring-your-own-AI' and why does it matter?

ShareAndGo speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Connect your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription directly to your data rooms. No extra fees, no AI Units to track. Box also offers an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT on all its plans. Box's own AI uses AI Units (1K to 20K a month on Enterprise plans, more at extra cost), and Box Agent comes with Enterprise Plus at A$70 per user per month, billed annually. ShareAndGo includes MCP read and write tools on every plan.

Is Box's storage advantage worth the price?

Box gives unlimited storage on Business and above. ShareAndGo's caps (5GB Starter, 50GB Professional, 250GB Business) are designed for transactional document sharing. If you're storing large media or design files at scale, Box wins. For sharing PDFs, Office documents and signed contracts with external parties, ShareAndGo's caps suit most engagements. Check your deal's size against them.

Does Box store data in Australia?

Box stores data in the US by default. Australian storage is available through Box Zones on the Enterprise Plus and Enterprise Advanced plans. ShareAndGo stores documents in Sydney (Google Cloud australia-southeast1).
