In its December Product Newsletter Box highlighted a number of updates that have been released recently.<\/p>\n

The first is their Box Notes<\/strong> app.\u00a0 As you can see in the following image they made several changes.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They now have an “Inbox” that will show you notes that have been updated.\u00a0 Updated notes will appear at the top of your list of notes will be bolded with a blue dot indicator.<\/li>\n
  2. There is now a presence indicator at the top of the note page indicating who is currently in your note or who has recently accessed it,\u00a0whether it was just for a quick review or to add content to your note.<\/li>\n
  3. If someone made an update to your note it will highlight that update in purple the first time that you access that note.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In\u00a0Box Drive\u00a0<\/strong>update 1.3\u00a0they changed the drag and drop experience for Windows users.\u00a0 Previously dragging and dropping a file into your Box folder would move the file into Box from its original location.\u00a0 Now, it copies the file rather than moves it. This is the same behavior that Mac users see when they drag and drop a file into a Box folder.<\/p>\n

    They updated the login process<\/strong> to optimize the flow for better support for SSO users.\u00a0 Previously, a users would have to select the “Sign In with SSO” link that appeared under email address and password fields.\u00a0 Now, they just enter their email address and they will be taken to their organizations SSO login page rather than being asked for a Box password.<\/p>\n

    Last but not least, Box has introduced a new navigation design for their Box for\u00a0Android<\/strong> app.\u00a0 This makes it easier\u00a0to access your most critical content.\u00a0 They also make it possible to monitor your file upload and download progress in the tool bar.<\/p>\n

    While it is still in beta, Box is doing some exciting work with\u00a0machine learning as applied to image recognition.\u00a0 Behind the scenes they are leveraging Google Cloud Vision’s state-of-the-art machine learning models.\u00a0 \u00a0Some of the the planned features for this technology is:<\/p>\n
