Box.net’s New “OpenBox”
November 19th, 2007 | Published in Online Storage

Popular online storage and file-sharing service, Box.net has just launched a new services platform called OpenBox. With OpenBox, you can add powerful services that work with your online files and let you do more with your data. For example, OpenBox integrates with many third party services to let you do things like edit and preview office documents, photos, and CAD files; fax documents and get them digitally signed; make t-shirts or holiday gifts from your photos; create ringtones for your cell phone from your audio files; send file links to twitter; and much more. The current services that OpenBox works with include: Autodesk Freewheel, Blogger, LiveJournal, WordPress, EchoSign, eFax, Myxer, picnik, Scribd, Snipshot, thinkfree, twitter, Zazzle, and Zoho. To use the new services, click “OpenBox Services” in the top right corner of your screen after you’ve logged into your Box.net account. You can then browse the current offerings, and click the “Add Service” button next to the services that you want to enable for your account. Once the services are enabled, you can right-click on any file in your Box and choose from your enabled OpenBox Services to begin working with the file.
