Box.net’s iPhone App Goes Live

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Box.net’s iPhone application just went live on the iTunes app store Friday night.

This app allows iPhone users to:

* View all the files stored on their Box.net accounts. The app supports all file types that the iPhone supports - Microsoft Office files, PDFs, photos, audio and video
* Share files stored on their Box.net accounts with any of their contacts
* Shoot photos, upload them to Box.net and share them with their
contacts. Users can also upload pictures stored in the iPhone’s photos library to their Box.net account
* Monitor updates to their Box.net account, such as new files added by other contributors to their Box.net accounts 

Box.net gives users the following for free:

* 1 GB of storage space
* Individual file size uploads of up to 25 MB
* Bandwidth of 10 GB per month

I’ve always been a fan of Box.net and I think it’s pretty cool that you can now access all your PDF”s, excels, powerpoints, etc. easily right from your iPhone. This is definitely an app which gives iPhone users real added value, unlike countless other iPhone apps that give little to no value at all.
