Box for Android scores new sharing and media playback options

Box subscribers that are enjoying the cloud service on an Android handset or slate can't complain about lack of updates to the app, and the same goes for those on one of the other platforms. Today, however, it's Box for Android that's on the receiving end of some more practical and valuable features, with version 2.1.5 bringing additional options to the app's shared link permissions and the ability to (finally) preview media files. It's worth nothing, though, that while all users can sample audio recordings on the go, the video feature, on the other hand, will only be available to folks with a Box Enterprise account -- and mum's the word on whether or not we can expect that to change at some point in the future. Either way, we'll leave you with the vid after the break for now, which lets all interested (and curious) parties see the new bundle in action before they potentially get going with the download.
