Box for Android update improves photo preview capabilities, introduces alpha testing program

Box has unveiled a new update for its Android app to make it easier for you to browser through your files and to give you access to new features before they are officially rolled out. The new preview feature for images makes sure you only view low-resolution quality images when you’re scrolling and get to see the high-resolution versions when you are looking directly at the photos. The company took out what they consider unnecessary icons on the app to streamline use.

Box also introduced an alpha program for users wanting to test out early features. For those interested, you will be prompted by the app and will be required to join a Google Group to access the special version of Box with the new features.

Box doubles personal cloud storage space to 10GB

While Box isn’t top of mind when it comes to personal storage, the online file sharing and cloud storage company is giving Box users 10GB worth of free space—twice the 5GB they previously offered. This generous offer makes them the second more spacious cloud storage option behind Google Drive, which provides 15GB free storage for users.

Box has even rolled out a new starter tier suitable for small businesses that delivers 100GB storage for up to 10 users at $5 a month.
