Box 2.0 for Android previewed, looks like a strong alternative to Dropbox

Ever hate having to access multiple apps just to check a document on your Dropbox? Box 2.0 hopes to solve that for you by including a document viewer that supports 75 different types of files. That’s right, you no longer have to first open Dropbox, check to see if its the latest version, then open Quickoffice all to just access your presentation you slaved over for hours.

This update brings a host of other features including automatically updating offline folders and files, a complete transfer manager as well as a completely browser-less experience. Now, the race for best cloud storage system for mobile devices just got a bit tighter. With 5 gigabytes free of space, I would strongly suggest you at least check this out if you’re in need of a more fluid cloud storage system. Hit the break for the download links.

Amazon’s Cloud Drive Photos app now available in the Play Store

It’s pretty clear that Amazon has every intention of staying competitive in the mobile space for the foreseeable future. Between new devices, applications, and cloud services, Amazon is fighting their way to the top of the OEM pile, and doing a pretty good job of it. To add more to their app/cloud repertoire, Amazon has released a Cloud Drive Photos app to access any photos you may have on Amazon Cloud drive.

The interface in the app is similar to Amazon’s MP3 player, which is a good thing. It’s got a very clean, elegant look, and navigation is easy and painless. Also like Amazon MP3, you can download and locally store any photos on your device, and you can toggle between viewing cloud photos or only photos stored locally. Overall, it’s a great addition to Amazon’s lineup.
