Simple, secure file sharing with Box on Nokia Lumia

The cloud

Cloud-based services and storage extend the usefulness and capacity of your mobile phone. With a whopping 4.3 inch screen and access to LTE, the Nokia Lumia 900 is the perfect way to access your data in the cloud.

While SkyDrive is built into Windows Phone, and is fully integrated with the Office and camera software, there are alternatives for users with specific needs. Box offers fast, ample storage for your files and lets you access your files on your phone, tablet and computer, and today we’re happy to help announce that Box is available for your Nokia Lumia phone. Now, with Box, you can share your essential files from anywhere.

Box is particularly geared towards business users and is known for high-security storage that integrates high-level encryption and file-based permissions. Also, those who rely upon FTP to help swap files will love to know that Box lets you skip the clunky method of file and folder sharing. Want your co-workers to leave comments on files? Box can do that, too.

Box for Windows Phone makes it possible for users to upload multiple images and videos in a batch, quickly share files and folders as links, find content with integrated search and more.

For those who want to collaborate on your files, Box on Lumia will let you invite colleagues to a shared folder and leave comments on folders. You can even pin a Live Tile to your Start screen to see updates to files by colleagues. Still worried about security? Don’t be: Box lets you can set an application passcode lock.

As you can see, Box is cloud storage taken up a notch. The service goes beyond simple file sharing and allows teams to collaborate, using the files at the center of the experience. IT managers love Box because of the top-notch security.

What’s your cloud storage of choice?  Are you a Box user?
