- Box is a cloud computing business which provides file-sharing, collaborating, and other tools for working with files that are uploaded to its servers. Users can determine how their content can be shared with other users. Users may invite others to view and/or edit an account's shared files, upload documents and photos to a shared files folder (and thus share those documents outside of Box), and give other users rights to view shared files. Box offers three account types: Enterprise, Business and Personal. There are official clients offered for Windows and OS X, but not for Linux. A mobile version of the service is available for Android, BlackBerry 10, iOS, WebOS, and Windows Phone devices. Box's enterprise clients include IBM, GE, Schneider Electric, and Procter & Gamble. In December 2007 the company announced OpenBox, which allows developers to create services that interact with files on both Box.com and competing web-based applications and services. The application programming interface is implemented over onventional XML.
