Box brings 50GB of cloud storage to iOS with new design, search improvements, more

Cloud-storage service Box released version 3.0 of its iPhone and iPad app today to its users. While the app features new navigation and a fresh user interface, Box also says its app has been rewritten in version 3.

New features include faster search within the app and better previewing for documents and media. The service offers users 50 GB of free cloud storage so there’s plenty of room to store content.

Box for iPhone and iPad is available for free on the App Store.

    How do I get the 50GB? I just downloaded the APP and only have 10. Thanks!

      You have to sign out, and then sign back in. You’ll get an email shortly thereafter confirming the upgrade!

    Same for me, Alejandro! Does somebody has any idea how to get that 50gb space?

    The space was nice, but they’ve got a long way to go to be Dropbox. (so does everybody else for that matter) at least for me, nothing is faster, and that’s paramount for business.

    I’ll have to disagree. It all depends on your needs. Dropbox doesn’t offer WebDAV but Box does. So for me Box has always been my cloud storage solution of choice.

    EVEN the NEW app is limited to 1) IOS Files that exist in your ‘library’ only …Photos and MAYBE a vid if YOU too it and stored it in the ‘library’… AND, only files less than 250 MB.. ALSO, in the ‘library’… VERY limited… NOT very useful… I’ve abandoned it because it seems to be a scam. Security of the data stored on Box’s cloud is – AT BEST – flimsy…..Sorry Box.. LOSER !!!

    I hate box because I have issues with logging in EVERY single time I have to. I have to reset my password constantly even though I use 1Password so I know my password/username is correct. So effing annoying.

    You can get 50gb if you already got em from the last offer they had can you!?
