Box.net throws files in your Face(book) application

Box.net, the online storage company, has a Facebook application. After all, you aren't a real Web 2.0 company if you don't have a Facebook application it seems.

Box.net's Facebook application allows users to manage all files stored in your account from directly within Facebook. It doesn't matter if they are private or shared, it's like logging into your regular Box.net account. Some updates have been made recently to the application that make it a worthwhile application add in Facebook.

First there is the File Attachment update. Users are now able to attach files to messages that are sent to friends. Next, when logging into Facebook, there is a new interface for Box.net that is accessible from the "Files" tab. Pick a file that you want to feature on your profile page, and share away. The final update is with a fully featured file browser that is listed in the application page, replicating a thumb drive device so that accessing documents is easier than before.

Don't get us wrong, we still love Box.net. We just wonder if this Facebook application phase will ever end, and the world of Portal 2.0 will blow over.
