Box for Android update brings navigation drawer, retooled widget, account switching and more (video)

If you're one of the Box faithful who also happens to wield an Android device, you're about to snatch up a number of new features in the latest app update. The outfit has taken advantage of the navigation drawer that Google officially announced back at I/O -- the one that we've seen in a number of recent software updates (Gmail comes to mind). You'll also encounter a reconfigured updates feed with document previews for keeping track of file changes between you and your fellow collaborators. The Box app's home screen widget has been redesigned to allow resizing and scrolling within its confines. Other tweaks include revamped folder sorting / viewing, prompts to download updated files after a period of offline use and the ability to switch between user accounts. A quick look at the new features awaits in the video clip that lies just beyond the break.
