Box App

I found the Box app on the iPad easy to use. I was able to set up my account with ease and create a folder for items that I may put on the app during this course. Once I created a document on the Pages App, I  had a hard time figuring out how to get the document on the Box app. I tried to upload a document by staying on the app and uploading a document from the iPad. There was only an option to upload pictures, with exploring the app a little more, I still was unable to get a document on the app. I then asked my partner, Amy, if she was able to. With her advice, I learned that to add a document on to the Box app, you just need to go to your document. I went back to Pages and I hit the share button. This allowed for me to select not only the Box app, but also the folder that I specified for this class. I played around with the app a little more and I found it very simple to use and to get to the document that I uploaded. The tutorial that Box gave me upon creating my account said that it saves new versions of the same document so that the last updated version will be available, but I could not get this feature to work. With adding and deleting documents to Box so easy, I don't think it would be a major problem for a person to just add their most updated version to the app.
