Box.net Integrates with Google Apps

Box.net announced it is available as an integrated Google Apps service on the Google Apps Marketplace, Google's recently launched online storefront for Google Apps products and services. Google Apps customers can now access and share their Box.net content when logged into Google Apps, and Box.net customers can use Google Apps products within Box.net. Businesses can manage their project files, including product collateral, overview videos, various artwork and Google Docs, in a shared Box folder. From there, users can manage workflow with versioning, tasks, and commenting as well as using Google Docs to collaborate on their files. Finished work can then be published on a company-wide Google Site. Box.net also provides administration and reporting tools, including password management down to the file level, six levels of access permissions, and reports on user and file activity. Initially, Google Apps customers will be able to access, work with, and share their Box.net content with others inside of Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Sites, as well as enter the Box.net Cloud Content Management platform through Google's universal navigation links. Additionally, when in Box.net, users can create a new Google Document or Spreadsheet, as well as select a file or a folder of files to send with Gmail, schedule a meeting and link to a specific file or folder with Google Calendar, or publish to Google Sites. http://www.box.net/
