How do I download files from Box.net?

[vEEP pEEP]

I'm using the box. Net app on my Lumia 930, I am unable to download it to my phone. I can open it. This does not help me when I have no connection.

Help?

You can open the app, but can't download it to the phone?

I don't think the Windows Phone Box app allows offline use. You need to be online.

This is sad news....

It's installed and opens - I can see my files, and 'open' them, but cannot save them to my phone locally for later use.

Open Box App

Tap on document name > open file > overflow menu (3dots) > save as > save to (I see OneDrive, SD card, phone)

Hi!

No luck!

The file is actually an MP3 - it first takes me to a preview when there is an option to pin it, refresh or rename it.

Hitting file open - it says download then it starts playing it - but there are no options to save (not 3 dots anywhere)

Weird - you have that?

Can you send me a screenshot.

Would using a 930 be different?

Thanks,

Mr. V

Testing MP3 now... I've never stored them on Box.

Well I guess it only streams mp3s?

If it did download (which it said automatically) I can't find the file.

Photos - samething, I can save them, just open. I guess the same for videos.

Since OneDrive, I hardly use my Box any more. Maybe there is a trick we are missing and someone will come along and clue us in. LOL

I just have a lot more space on Box than One Drive, that's the only reason. I would like to stick to one place. But between OneDrive, Dropbox, and Box.net - I have a lot of space. When OneDrive comes out with unlimited free space, I will be ok. Of course I will have to migrate all my stuff...
