The company hopes to change that with its $5\/month\/user for 100GB plan. This starter plan lowers the barrier to entry for smaller businesses, a market Box has yet to tap. If and when small businesses expand and need more space, Box has them covered too with higher tier plans.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-48206\" title=\"box pricing\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/08\/BlogImg_Pricing3-568x283.jpg\" alt=\"box pricing\" width=\"568\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/08\/BlogImg_Pricing3-568x283.jpg 568w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/08\/BlogImg_Pricing3-256x127.jpg 256w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/08\/BlogImg_Pricing3.jpg 736w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For more details, check out Box&#8217;s blog post at the source link below.<\/p>\n<h4>Source: <a title=\"Box Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.box.com\/2013\/08\/bringing-the-cloud-to-every-business-5-box-starter-plan-and-10gb-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Box Blog<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Box, the cloud storage service, has doubled the amount of storage space for its free users in addition to offering a $5\/month plan for 100GB.
