Box 2.1.0.14
Windows Phone users have a few choices available and Box is one of them. The client app for this service aims to bring at your fingertips the data you uploaded when at home or at work and it enables you add new items on the go.
Tidy interface, with nice graphics and an easy to use layout
The application has a very clean appearance and the GUI is quite well designed, with a bit more attention allocated to the practical aspects. Even so, the icons for all the supported file types are carefully drawn, with neat details
Moving through the menus and lists of items is done without too many glitches, as the most visible hindrance is the delay with which the folder contents and file previews appear on screen.
Add new files and folders, view and manage them or share the content on the fly
Box allows you to easily create new containers and upload files from your phone. The documents you added from the online or desktop versions are also available, so you can open them without needing to install other third-party apps.
Viewing and editing file properties is also possible with this tool, while the sharing feature enables you to send the secure link to any item stored in your account via email, SMS or through social networks.
Built-in activity log collaboration features
Every operation you make while inside Box is saved in the "Updates" section of the app, so you can have a detailed overview of the actions carried out, with exact date and time coordinates for every activity.
This utility is also ready to help you invite other users to join forces and work on the same projects by extending invitations to collaborate on the folders you select. There are several levels of access you can grant, depending on the role those people will have assigned in the project.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The simple appearance of the app may is in balance with the practicality of the layout, so the interface offers a decent look and a very functional design. |
Function7
Users can add and manage new files folders, preview the items already uploaded and share content, but the mobile client doesn't allow transferring to the online storage anything else but photos. |
Security6
The application is very inquisitive and requires access to pretty much all the data stored onto the phone, even if for the most part it is not supposed to be looking in many of those areas. |
Battery8
The decent power consumption this utility has makes it possible to maintain the battery usage at moderate levels throughout its runtime. |
Price9
Box offers a good deal of features, all free of cost and even if it still needs to evolve in many areas, its value remains very good. |
Compatibility8
Suited for use on the more recent devices that are powered by Windows Phone 8 and above, the application doesn't need anything in particular to run properly. |
