Quick Overview of Box as Cloud Storage on Android mobile

Google Play Store : Box

Box will gives you 5GB-50GB of free storage. I've got 50GB when I signed up and signed in on my Nexus 4. If I invite people, they will also get 50GB if they sign up. Send me your email for the invitation if you want.
This post gives a quick overview of what I know on Box on Android.
Below is what you will see when you first login. Just a list view of the files and folders.
The red circle below is the app settings. Once click it will pull out the setting drawer.
Below is the setting drawer. Click on the email account in the red circle below where it will shows the account info detail.
Here's the account information. Nothing much of interest for me except the storage used.
To go back to folder view, click on the setting drawer again.
Then click on "All Files"
You will be back to folder view
Now what are those top right, 3 or 4 icons ?
Those are short-cuts to the storage activities you can do.
Below red circle is to search for file. Orange circle is to add file or folder. Pink circle is to see different view.
Below is the view when you click on the orange circle


Below shows the settings of the storage.
This is the view of the storage settings and the activities you can do

That's it, that's all I know on using Box. Coming up will be how to automate the upload of files such as photos or specific folder to Box.

If you wish to have the files on your desktop, install this Box for Windows Desktop on your Windows Desktop and it will create a folder and once completed sync all your files/folders will be here too.
