# Floppy vs Box

> Box is built for companies that need governance, compliance and admin control over all their content. Floppy is for sending a file today and seeing who read it, with nothing to set up.

Floppy (https://fpy.sh) shares a file as a short link and shows who opened it, page by page. Box is enterprise content management with governance and Box AI.
