Simple, secure file sharing with Box on Nokia Lumia

Published by Jason Harris on July 24, 2012

The cloud

Cloud-based services and storage extend the usefulness and capacity of your mobile phone. With a whopping 4.3 inch screen and access to LTE, the Nokia Lumia 900 is the perfect way to access your data in the cloud.

While SkyDrive is built into Windows Phone, and is fully integrated with the Office and camera software, there are alternatives for users with specific needs. Box offers fast, ample storage for your files and lets you access your files on your phone, tablet and computer, and today we’re happy to help announce that Box is available for your Nokia Lumia phone. Now, with Box, you can share your essential files from anywhere.

Box is particularly geared towards business users and is known for high-security storage that integrates high-level encryption and file-based permissions. Also, those who rely upon FTP to help swap files will love to know that Box lets you skip the clunky method of file and folder sharing. Want your co-workers to leave comments on files? Box can do that, too.

Box for Windows Phone makes it possible for users to upload multiple images and videos in a batch, quickly share files and folders as links, find content with integrated search and more.

For those who want to collaborate on your files, Box on Lumia will let you invite colleagues to a shared folder and leave comments on folders. You can even pin a Live Tile to your Start screen to see updates to files by colleagues. Still worried about security? Don’t be: Box lets you can set an application passcode lock.

As you can see, Box is cloud storage taken up a notch. The service goes beyond simple file sharing and allows teams to collaborate, using the files at the center of the experience. IT managers love Box because of the top-notch security.

What’s your cloud storage of choice?  Are you a Box user?

Meizu Russia confirms “Ubuntu rumors”

Yup, just as we’ve told you before, Ubuntu is coming to a Meizu smartphone near you. We still don’t have the official announcement, but details keep coming.,, The latest information (or that’s confirmation) comes from Meizu Russia, which says that Meizu engineers are in fact working on an Ubuntu version of the Meizu MX3. The work is apparently still underway to make things stable, and in the meantime they [engineers] are also working on a new version of Android-based Flyme ROM for both the Meizu MX2 and MX3, adding that Ubuntu won’t be released until the updated Flyme ROM is launched. It is said that Meizu will use Ubuntu as its ticket to the US market later in the year. At that time, we may also see either a revamped MX3 model or the whole new MX4 smartphone that will sport even better hardware under the hood. As usual, we’ll be on the lookout for any news coming from the Ubuntu camp and let you know as soon as we have something new to add. Stay tuned… [Via: GizChina] Dusan has been...

RSSRadio allows users to subscribe, download and listen to podcasts on both the iPhone and iPad. “With the recent release of Apples “Podcasts” application the bar has been raised for look and feel in these kind of apps and its harder to stand out from the crowd” says Daniel Broad, owner of Dorada Software. Daniel further explains “Competing on features can often be the a default choice, but I decided to go the extra mile and invest in a professionally designed user interface, concentrating firstly on the iPhone but for iPad also. I think RSSRadio now looks great, and is even easier to use.” RSSRadio 2.0 is available today on the App Store, in both a free and paid version.

Android apps coming to Windows Phones?

There’s a weird rumor going around the Interwebs, suggesting that Microsoft may allow Android apps to run on Windows Phones. Something like that would quickly increase the app count for Microsoft’s mobile platform, but there are downsides as well. For one thing, this could entice developers to skip “regular” native development for Windows Phone. It’s a tricky choice. On one hand, the Redmond giant could benefit in the short term to have all those Android apps and games available on Windows Phone handsets. On the other hand, they could pretty much face extinction from the mobile game, with Windows Phone pretty much turning into yet another Android launcher. So no, we don’t think Microsoft will allow this to happen. At the same time, it may not stop other companies from pursuing this opportunity. Think BlueStacks, the company that already allows Android apps to run on Windows computers. Perhaps these same guys/gals can enable the same functionality on Windows Phones. We doubt the Redmon...
