FilesPlus gains Box.com compatibility, goes free

Published by at

FilesPlus, as the Symbian cloud storage manager, has been through many updates in the last six months, culminating in v1.3.0 here, which not only adds full Box.com(/.net) compatibility, it's also now completely free. Plus a number of bug fixes, of course. More below...

I most recently highlighted FilesPlus a month ago, with v1.2.4, but the changelog from that to this, v1.3.0, is:

  • Fix WebDAV client to support special characters in hostname
  • Fix sort by name, name(dir. first) to sort case insensitivity
  • Save sort flag per cloud storage path
  • Add BOX client
  • Now freeware (though donations welcomed)

Here's FilesPlus in action:

You can download FilesPlus for free here in the Nokia Store or here as FilesPlus_installer_515297.sisx. I guess we should expect more low cost applications to 'go free' as the Symbian ecosystem starts to wind down? Handy not just to save a quid (which is neither here nor there) but to simplify re-installation in years to come should something happen to the developer or the Nokia Store itself.
