Sekvora vs Box: personal cloud drive, not enterprise plumbing
Box is built for enterprises — compliance, admin consoles, workflow tooling. Its personal plans carry the same DNA: generous 10 GB free tier, but a 250 MB file limit that makes it unusable for real files. Sekvora is built for individuals first: no file size limits on paid plans, and a drive that mounts straight into Finder or Windows Explorer — nothing to install.

Pick what fits.
Both can be right.
- You want to store real files — videos, archives, datasets — without hitting a size cap.
- You want your cloud drive in Finder or Windows Explorer, like any other disk — nothing to install.
- You want to share a folder as a read-only drive, not just a download page.
- You want 1 TB for $9 instead of 100 GB for $10.
- You need enterprise compliance certifications and admin controls.
- Your organization already runs on Box and you get a seat through work.
- You want the larger 10 GB free tier and mostly store small documents.
- You need iOS and Android apps today.
The file size question
Box's file upload limits — 250 MB free, 5 GB on Personal Pro — reflect its document-workflow heritage. If your files are slides and PDFs, fine. If they're anything bigger, Sekvora's unlimited file size on paid plans removes the negotiation.
Enterprise features vs personal speed
Box invests in what IT departments buy: governance, retention, e-discovery. Sekvora invests in what individuals feel: a drive that mounts with ⌘K in Finder and starts working like a local disk in seconds.
