Box and Microsoft have announced a Box app for Windows 10 PCs, tablets, and smartphones, powered by the new operating system's Universal App Platform. The app will let Windows 10 users access files stored in Box from devices that range from desktop PCs to tablets and even Windows smartphones.

Box's app also integrates with the Windows file picker, so users can access their documents stored in the cloud service from apps like Excel and Powerpoint without having to leave their work. It can also scale up and down in size so users can get a full-screen look at all their files, or scroll through them in a slender vertical pane alongside another app.

"By combining the two apps in Windows 10 as a universal Windows app, it decreased our engineering overhead, and increased our velocity for future iterations," Box Senior Product Manager Lois Wang said in a blog post.
