RubiBox (Box.com client) gets a major v2.0 update, multiple account support

Published by at

Box.com (née Box.net) rarely gets the same press that DropBox or Google Drive get, but it's arguably just as useful. And you may not have remembered that there's a fairly fully featured Symbian client for this cloud storage service in the free (well, donation-ware) client RubiBox. There's now a big v2.0 update available in the Nokia Store, bringing multiple account support and more advanced file uploading and downloading.

The official changelog from v1.0 is:

  • Added multiple accounts support
  • Added multi download/upload files
  • Added copy/move actions
  • Fixed enterprise account login
  • Other minor bugs fixed

After updating, I found I had to re-enter my Box.com credentials, but this is a one-time thing. Here's RubiBox in action:

RubiBox is nicely customisable, here's one of the five panes of Settings; (right) my essential Box.com stats, summarised by RubiBox.

Good to see this free cloud file management tool updated again, and with so big a changelog. I've not been a huge Box.com user in the past, but now that the maximum file upload size has been increased, I think I might give it another try.

You can download RubiBox for free here in the Nokia Store. Why not drop the developer a line to say thanks?
