Box, one of the top cloud-storage services, has written up a blog post about what they’re doing to make their Android app experience top-notch. They’ve discussed how they’re working to make the Android app a great experience, utilizing Project Butter and several optimization tricks to make everything fast, fluid, and easy to use.
Box discussed how the most commonly uploaded types of files are image files. In fact, they’re uploaded five times more than the next most common file type, which is PDFs. Since that means that a majority of users are only using box to store and browse photos, image browsing was at the top of their priority list. They’ve overhauled how image thumbnails are loaded and viewed so everything is buttery smooth and completely functional, which should make current users happy and draw more new users into the service.
They’ve also detailed how they’ve integrated beta testing into the Box app. From within the app, you can opt-in to alpha versions of the app to test brand new features and builds before anyone else. This is similar to how Google+ manages betas for other apps, and you’ll still need a Google account to join the process. But if you’re into testing experimental apps and features, that’s a pretty small hurdle.
