Why Did We Build Box for Mint? (And Why Should You Care?)

Because we were tired of watching support agents go through File Hell. You know what we mean:

  • “Can you compress that and resend?”
  • “Sorry, we didn’t get the attachment.”
  • “Could you upload that somewhere else?”

We’ve been there too. While supporting our own customers, we ran into the same headache-inducing problems.

The 20MB limit, the back-and-forth over file formats, the endless game of “Where’s that video?”

So we built Box for Mint—to solve the pain we experienced ourselves, and to help you skip the chaos altogether.

Box for Mint puts all those problems in the trash folder—and empties it.

It makes sharing large files, error logs, crash reports, or long guides as easy as copy-paste.

It’s cloud storage, but make it Freshdesk-friendly. 🌤️
