App Center

The Box App Center is the first place for Box users to find out about applications that they can use in combination with Box. If your application is suited to be used by other enterprises, listing your service in the App Center can be a great way to find new users. App center groups apps into sections so that you can quickly find featured, most popular, or recently added apps.
