Android App: Box for Android

This week our Android App Pick of the Week is Box!  I'm sure you have heard of Box before.  Commonly referred to as Box.com it is a sweet service that allows you to store your data and files online or "in the cloud".  Cloud backup and online file storage has turned into big business these days.  As devices become even more mobile than ever before, so do we.  People are always on the go.  And a lot of us need access to certain files while we are out and about in life's adventures. That is what Box can do for us.

Sure, Box isn't the only service that gives us this type of file mobility.  But it is the one I prefer.  Basically, here is how it works.  You sign up for the service on their website at Box.com.  In return you get 5GB's of online storage for free.You are limited to uploading files 100 MB's or less with a free account.  You can upgrade you plan if you like for a monthly fee:
- 5GB's / max file size is 100 MB's = Free
- 25 GB's / max file size is 1 GB    =  $9.99 per month.
- 50 GB's / amx file size is 1 GB    =  $19.99 per month.

Earlier in the year, Box gave it's Android App user's 50 GB's of storage for life for free.  That's why I use them.  Using the app on both my phone and tablet make it a perfect way to share pictures and pdf files among several devices.  And the files are accessible on any PC that has an internet connection.  Always remember, the limitations of cloud storage services like these are based on your network speed and bandwidth.  Obviously,  a slower connection will mean longer upload times.  However, unless you are uploading crazy large files, it should work just fine for you.

The service and the app are free.
