Box Apps : Plugins for uploading and sharing files!

Box has recently released Box Enabled Applications which are nothing but plug-ins for the applications, so that you get the convenience of uploading and sharing files directly from your favorite application and for that you don’t have to go to Box’s website.

The current plug-ins are mostly made by Box team only, but if you are a developer then you may develop plugins for your favorite applications using their API.

The plugins which are available are made for these applications and if you use box and those applications then you’ll find them pretty useful :

1. Adobe Acrobat (Professional)
2. Microsoft Office Plug-in
3. OpenOffice.org 2
4. Adobe Photoshop
5. AutoDesk 3dsMax
6. Fireuploader – plug-in for Firefox
7. mobox – application for mobile phones.

I think that these plug-ins will help Box as people do want to share the files and these plug-ins will help in collaboration and will save time. It will be hard to say that if people will start to use Box just because of these plug-ins. Online storage market has no clear winner at this time and so we can expect that after these plug-ins from Box, other players will also come up with some or the other idea to ensure that they can offer same usability to their customers. All in all, it is beneficial for us only because we'll get more and more functionality and better collaborative tools. What do you think about such plug-ins or will you still prefer using the email ?
