Online Document Management with Box.net

Don't you just love simplicity?

Sometimes I get tired of applications that are overly complex and try to stuff every type of tool and gizmo into software. It's refreshing to see Box.net which helps you easily manage documents.

Having documents on a central server is good. Making the files available online, to be able to share with your employees, clients and partners is not hard to do for experts. With Box.net document sharing can be implemented by anyone.

Just last week I tried to send a file to someone, it was too large for them to receive or for me to send. A service like Box.net would have come in handy. Yousendit is also a nice tool for sending large files to others.

A nice touch that Box.net offers is you can add your company's logo to the Box.net shared space.

Being able to access documents on your mobile device is critical for many business users and through http://m.box.net you can access documents on your smartphone as well.

Think that's it?

Box.net has integrated Zoho, a provider of online document editing, into its service offering. Now, instead of having to download files to your computer and re-upload a new version with changes, simply find the Word document or Excel spreadsheet that you'd like to change and select 'Edit Document.' It's that simple.

This is a powerful feature.

Cost: $20 a month or $200
