Faster version uploads on Box DriveWith the release of Box Drive v2.53, Box Drive now has the ability to avoid uploading chunks that have already been uploaded for new versions of a file. For users, this means that edits will sync up to Box much faster. What has changed?Previously, when you upload a new version of a file to Box, these uploads would get chunked and send all chunks back up to the server. Building upon a new backend capability, the server can now sift through these chunks getting uploaded and distinguish whether these chunks are already on the server or are new. The server directs the clients to reuse chunks that already exist, and will only upload new chunks. What does this mean for me?As a user, that means that new versions should get synced up to Box much faster than before.  You can learn more about this new feature in our post here. To ensure that you are taking advantage of this, and other new features in Drive, ensure that you update your Drive client to the latest

We have some exciting news to share! Sharing a file or folder on Box for iOS and Box for Android now happens on one screen. 🔗📱 Open Share. You will see the file, Invite People, and Shared Link together. Turn on Shared Link. Box creates the link and copies it in one tap. A short Copied confirmation tells you it is done. The link stays on the screen, so you can send it on, or tap Copy Link if you need it again.  The same screen is where you invite people, open Link Settings, and see who can use the link. Your company's shared link restrictions still apply. There is nothing new to turn on. Update to the latest Box app and try it on the next file you want to send. What would you share first? Tell us in the comments.
