One Box 1.0.0.4
Dropbox is one of the most popular services of this kind and there are a few client apps that offer users a simple means of accessing their accounts and viewing and managing the content stored there.
For Windows Phone users, One Box is one of possible choices, as it offers seamless integration with Dropbox and a set of useful features for carrying out the supported tasks.
Clean interface, easy to work with
This application offers a tidy GUI, with simple yet smooth graphics and a neat organization of the content. There are several ways of sorting the files on display, so you can order them by name, size or date in ascending or descending order with just two taps.
The image thumbnails make it easier to find the pictures you might be looking for, even if their quality is pretty low. When the photos are loaded in their full size, the original quality is preserved and you can zoom and pan with intuitive touch gestures, as well as go through the pics in slide show style..
Going through the various sections of the app has a relatively fluent feel to it, but there is a noticeable delay when opening folders that contain images, as the app needs a few seconds to load the thumbnails.
Useful file management features
One Box comes with a rather simple set of functions you can use to handle the content stored in your Dropbox account and add new items on the go.
Thus, you can easily upload graphic files from your local storage, but the utility is also able to capture snapshots using the on-board camera and have them transferred on the spot, with a copy remaining in the Camera Roll folder on your handset.
To help you find specific items kept in your Dropbox, the "Filter" feature will come in handy as all you have to do is start typing the file name and the results will appear in real time.
The recently opened pictures are automatically stored inside a separate section of the app, called "Images", while there is also a corresponding area for the other kind of files you open.
File sharing and password protection
With the help of this application you will be able to send to your friends links to the folders or files you want them to access, so the sharing capabilities all Dropbox users are accustomed with are also present in One Box.
To prevent unauthorized access to your personal content via this utility you can create a passcode that will be required when opening the app. Nonetheless, the security is not so tight because if One Box is invoked through the list of recently used applications, the password prompt no longer appears.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The decent looks that feature some pretty simple graphics and an efficient layout manage to score some good points here. |
Function8
There are some pretty useful features inside the package, but the upload is limited to image files, while the security not as strict as it should be. |
Security9
The utility is pretty discreet while functioning, as it only needs to access the phone identity for some reason. |
Battery5
Keeping the application running for longer periods of time will discharge the battery pretty fast, as the battery usage is quite high. |
Price10
One Box is an excellent choice for all users who want a simple and efficient Dropbox client, as offers all the features free of costs and nuisances. |
Compatibility9
The utility will run well on the Windows Phone handsets powered by version 8 or higher of the operating system. |
