Box.net iPhone App for File Management and Sharing

Monday October 27, 2008 3:46 am PDT by Arnold Kim
Box.net has released their free iPhone companion application which provides integration to their online file management service. Box.net offers a basic Lite version of its service for free. The free service offers 1GB of online storage and 10GB of bandwidth a month. Paid plans start at $7.95 a month and offer more storage and no bandwidth limitations.

The iPhone app offers these features:

- Scroll through and view all the files and folders stored on their Box.net accounts.
- Share individual files or entire folders of files stored on their Box.net accounts with any of their iPhone contacts
- Snap pictures, upload them to Box and share them
- Monitor updates to your Box.net account, such as files or folders added by you and people that are collaborating and contributing to your Box.net account

I recommend checking out iStorage, which can already access your iDisk as well as upload and download to FTP servers and download from the web. Quite a nifty utility, which also lets you store, view, edit and create files. Just about the only thing missing is the ability to attach files from iStorage to an outgoing e-mail so you can share files via mail.

For those of you that have used, or that understand Box.net, what type of files are you storing or can you store that are useful on the iPhone. Obviously photo storage upload/download is compatible and useful, but a Powerpoint presentation is not. So, what type of files are you guys actually storing on box.net ? Thankyou.

Just about the only thing missing is the ability to attach files from iStorage tao an outgoing e-mail so you can share files via mail.

That will do a future version of iStorage. 1.0.5 wil be out soon with very few bugs.
