Box is a free app that is available on both Android and Apple devices, including iPad, so you can use it no matter where you go and no matter what type of mobile platform you prefer to work on. The bottom line is that this app allows you to stay in touch with your team by giving you the ability to access, edit, and share important business files anytime and anywhere, even if you are travelling. And what business owner wouldn’t love that?

Super Simple Content Sharing Between Workers

Imagine that you’re travelling to another country for business but you still have a lot to take care of back at the office. Perhaps you have a team of employees working diligently on coming up with a new way to enhance your online business’s website and you want to stay on top of what they’re doing. With the Box app, you can have your employees upload their latest files for your review so that you can steer them in the right direction or approve their efforts. It’s easy to access files, view them right on your device, and even edit and re-save them with changes that your employees can then access again.

The app allows you to create links that you can send to your employees and partners in order to provide them with access to important files, images, and videos. And if you want to invite even more colleagues to your shared folders, the app will use your contacts list on your device to make it easy to select those individuals with whom you want to share the information. Feel free to also leave comments on specific files for specific employees.

Access Files and Folders Quickly

The convenience of a built-in search feature allows you to access exactly what you need when you need it most. Instead of browsing through all of your folders and files, you can simply type in what you need and Box will retrieve it instantly.

And using the app’s widgets, you can add shortcuts to specific files or folders right to your home screen so that you’re up-to-date on the most recent changes made to them by your colleagues.

The Peace of Mind of Added Security

Many businesspeople are concerned about opening up files containing sensitive and confidential information while they’re on their devices, but with Box, you can rest assured that every file will be encrypted and secure from hackers. You’ll be using a passcode to access the content on your account, and the app automatically logs you out whenever you close it so you never have to worry about the app being accessible if your device is lost or stolen.

Offline Access to Your Files

Another really convenient feature that comes with the Box app is having access to your content offline, thanks to the ability to save your files to your device’s SD card. You can then upload your files, videos, and images directly from your SD card to the app whenever you’re ready to share them with your staff.
