The Box cloud-based file sharing service just gave Android-based device owners a nice upgrade. The new Bob Android app is now available to download but the nicest feature is that Box is giving both new and existing Android Box users a whopping 50 GB of free storage for Box Personal account.

Normally, Box users just get 5 GB of free storage. The only catch to this deal is that Box is offering this free 50 GB of storage just for the next month so you might want to download and use the app ASAP.

In addition to all that free storage space, Box Android users get some extra features in this app upgrade. One is that you can now invite other users to check out your Box files. Other users can also edit any files on your Box folder if you so choose. You can even exchange comments about a particular file with people who you are sharing that file with.

In addition, the Box Android app also allows for multiple file uploading along with the addition of upload progress indicators. Finally a number of new languages (French, Italian, German and Spanish) have been added and Box claims more are in development.

You can check out the new features for the Box Android app in the video above this post.

This is such blatant copying of what Dropbox do offering more storage for people who text products.

Dropbox offered 5GB to users who tested their android app about 2-3 weeks ago so now Box have offered more.

Box.com sorta needed to announce this today as today Dropbox updated it's Android so now it syncs all your photos and they are increasing the default free capacity from 2GB to 5GB. This stunt by Box is a cover to hide how they are slightly behind dropbox.

Let's hope the competition between these increases further and imaging when iCloud, Skydrive and Gdrive are fully unleashed how the competition will improve even further.

One app released recently was datalocker which if your a dropbox user like me (I'm also a box.com user since 2008) is really useful and encrypts your dropbox files to secure them further particularly if they are confidential or work related.


The only person winning in all this is us the customers which is great.

[gfxguru]

now i have a question does thins 50GB free space is for limited time only? what will happen after 1 month, if i use the full 50gb space or 49gb space.

- will my account get suspended?
- they will lock my account and ask for $$
- they will delete those data and downgrade to normal free space.
