We have put off the final touches for the mobile site for nearly a week so we could focus on solving more demanding matters. Finally those have died down a bit, and we were able to put together our mobile site. It's very basic at this point. It will let you share your files (that are already in your box account), and let you view photos.
Here is what we are going to have for later in the week:
- Document previews- view .doc/.xls/.ppt in plain text on your mobile browser
- Slideshow functionality (browse through your photos)
- Uploading via email... take a photo, email it to your account
The feature is available to everyone at this point, but it may eventually become a premium feature. You can point your mobile browser to: http://m.box.net. It would be great if you can let us know what the experience is like. I expect this to only work in a mobile browser that supports basic HTML (at the least).
As for non-mobile news, after almost two weeks of feedback, we are making some very interesting changes to our public sharing feature. We are also trying to find good ways to subscribe to other users' shared folders/files in your account. To be corny: We are just at the beginning of a very long and interesting journey.
