Box now offers 50GB of free storage to new iOS users

After Dropbox dropped the ball with an outage last weekend and left some users looking for a new file-sharing service provider, competitor Box is coming on strong today with a redesigned iOS application and a hefty 50GB of free storage for users who sign up in the next month.

Cloud-storage service Box released version 3.0 of its iPhone and iPad app today to its users. While the app features new navigation and a fresh user interface, Box also says its app has been rewritten in version 3. New features include faster search within the app and better previewing for documents and media. The service offers users 50 GB of free cloud storage so there’s plenty of room to store content. Box for iPhone and iPad is available for free on the App Store.
