Over the last few weeks we have gotten a lot of excellent feedback from a lot of our users. And we are very thankful to all of you that are taking the time to share your thoughts and ideas with us. As a result of some of the suggestions and requests we received, we issued an update for Firefox and Internet Explorer users. The update includes:
- Keyboard shortcut to invoke Box and Save
- Keyboard shortcut to invoke Box and Send
The update also includes the following new functionality for Firefox users only:
- Trigger SimplyBox menu from a single statusbar button
- Trigger SimplyBox menu from a single button in the Firefox chrome
To change your sign on preferences, or any of the new options for accessing SimplyBox without the toolbar, click on the Settings button as shown below:
From the settings screen, you may configure your options for triggering boxing with or without the toolbar:
If you would like a single SimplyBox button in the Firefox “chrome” area, go to the Firefox “View” menu, then choose “Toolbars” and “Customize”. In the dialog, scroll down to find the SimplyBox icon, and drag it to the desired location, as shown:
We will continue to listen to our users and to improve our solution.
Thank you!
Think Inside the Box …
Well, we have been live for a week. The user base is growing fast and we are getting solid feedback from it. We wanted to thank Techcrunch for the positive review they did on us (posted on 10/06). A lot of other blogs and publications picked up the story, both here in the US and abroad.
Many of our new users have been very enthusiastic about the Sharing part of SimplyBox. We are certainly seeing a lot of traffic being generated as a result of users Box & Sending items to friends/colleagues. Some users have asked if they can share boxes with friends that do not have an account with SimplyBox. And the answer is: ABSOLUTELY! All a user needs to do is to click on the Share option of the menu bar and to type the e-mail address of the user or non-user. If it is a non-user, he or she will receive an e-mail from SimplyBox with an invitation to visit the box that is being shared. And basically that box becomes “public” and can be viewed by anyone that has its URL address.
We are working on a whole set of improvements to be released in the following weeks. And many of these improvements will be related to sharing – making it easier and more powerful.
Think inside the Box … and many thanks for supporting us.

We are LIVE!
We wanted to thank our Beta Users that helped us so much over the last months with great feedback, ideas, and support.
SimplyBox will change the way people interact with web content. It will certainly change the way people think of the traditional file system (with us for over 50 years!) and the way the web has been compartmentalized in web pages. We bring a new approach that is different from files, web pages, and bookmarks. The building block of our approach is the “Item”, or the nugget. It’s that sentence, picture, or paragraph that you found and Boxed, and it now represents an entire article, web site, or blog. And the Item is at the center of how you will capture, organize, and share web content you like.
Your interaction with SimplyBox will be very VISUAL … and EASY as a consequence. We hope you like what we built.
Think inside the Box … and help us spread the word!
