For the moment, users can access and edit notes through the Box app for their iPhones and Android smartphones. The company’s services are available internationally, and customers include Gatwick Airport and Eurostar Transportation.īox Notes doesn’t have a standalone mobile app, though Levie said that the company is building one. Box offers a free tier for its software but Box Business, its most popular plan, costs $15 per user per month.

Starting Tuesday, people will be able to use Notes without having a Box account, something that Levie hopes will drive adoption of the company’s cloud storage services. These upgrades are designed to drive further adoption of Notes, and also make it more broadly useful. Right now, Notes is being used by a little more than half of Box’s customers in the Fortune 500. “And so, if they can’t work in real time, and can’t collaborate in real time on top of that infrastructure, and on top of that set of capabilities, then obviously, we’re not really providing or fulfilling the full amount of potential for our customers.”

“Our job is to build all of the enterprise capabilities around helping companies manage their data and manage their content,” he said in an interview. So why does the world need another note taking app, and why should it be Box Notes?Īaron Levie, Box’s co-founder and CEO, said in an interview that the product’s key point of differentiation is that it’s backed by the company’s storage technology, which means it inherits features around security and compliance that aren’t always available from other apps. Box Notes is going up against the likes of Google Docs, Google Keep, Dropbox Paper, Microsoft OneNote, Evernote and a host of other products. Document collaboration and note taking is a crowded market.
