When it comes to storing your files in the cloud you’ve got a plethora of choices. That said, products like OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and Box dominate the headlines. Today one of those is picking up an update. We haven’t seen an update for Box on Windows Phone (and Windows 8.1) in quite some time.
Head to the Windows Phone Store and you can see Box sitting at version 2.0.0.12. It’s a pretty major update, especially for those who use Box regularly. Here’s what’s new:
- Improved menus, breadcrumbs and other navigation experiences
- Improved transfer manager
- Rebuilt apps
- Language support for Polish and Turkish
We haven’t seen a major update to Box since they decided to ‘double down’ on Windows Phone and Windows 8 last year. The apps were later updated a few months later to pick security updates. Today’s update improves the Box Windows Phone app by improving the UI throughout and rebuilding the app.
The team at Box is saying that these apps have been completely rebuilt from the ground up. The apps are now faster and more reliable. Box has a blog post out about the apps for Windows Phone and Windows 8.1. They don’t specifically cite detailed changelogs in the blog post, instead we’re seeing those listed in the Windows Phone Store and Windows Store.
According to the Windows Store, here’s what you get with Box on Windows 8.1: update includes new snap view layouts for Windows 8.1, new search control inside the app for Windows 8.1, new large Live tile and smoother file preview pages with progressive loading.
