Recommended Essential Applications
Box has two applications that we suggest installing. Both provide additional functions that make Box much easier to work with.
-
Box Edit - Box Edit enables users to easily edit files from Box using computer programs, such as Word or Excel. When a document is complete, it saves the file directly into Box.
-
Box for Office - Box for Office allows you to connect directly to your Box account using Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It adds a Box Save option to any document you create.
