Box for Windows 8 Final Version

Alright, looks like Windows 8 is finally released to the stores and the event at Times Square must be really big. Today marks the big day for Windows 8 but let’s talk about other news we recently discovered.

Previously, Box was available for the release preview version of Windows 8 but with the final version coming in, it seems that there are some improvements.

The collaboration and sharing play well with this metro app that you can make use of the Share Charm to share files taken from your Box cloud storage to the respective social networking sites. You can also share by mail in case you’re still doing some work with your teammates which may be useful. The Box app also has the SSO login support and a passcode lock feature so that you can rest safe to know that you’re using the company credentials and that you can protect your content from curious fingers if you happen to lose your device that you can revoke it.

The limited time bonuses are that if you happen to be using Windows 8 on any HP device, you get the 25GB bonus for using Box Sync and a 50GB account for using Box on Samsung ATIV Tab.
