Box Notes – Box’s native collaboration tool

I guess the title says it all.  Box Notes is a light weight, real-time collaborative note taking and editing application native to Box.   Besides basic font settings you can create ordered, unordered, and check lists, set justification, insert images and create basic tables.  Box notes are great for meeting agendas, brain storming sessions, as a project management tool, and to-do lists.  To see examples of this watch this video.

Box Notes can be worked on or viewed collaboratively in real-time.  You can see who is working or viewing the note and changes made are immediately seen by all parties.

Collaborating on Box Note

Box Notes were only accessible through the Box web UI until earlier this year when Box released Box Notes for desktops for both the Windows and Mac OS.  Now you don’t have to open Box in a browser to create and interact with your Box Notes.  With Box Notes for desktops you can create and edit your notes directly.  The desktop application makes finding and accessesing your note easy by showing you your recently opend and favorited Box notes.  If you don’t see a note in the list you can easily search Box for all your Box notes using the search tool.
