Box Will Add Metadata To Give More Context To Cloud Documents

Metadata blog imageBox announced on-stage at its BoxWorks conference that it will be making the documents stored in its cloud storage system smarter, thanks to upcoming support for metadata.At first glance, this might not seem like a big deal (at least if you're like me and find the word "metadata" to be inherently off-putting) but Chris Yeh, the company's senior vice president of product and platform, said this is actually "the most important change" to the Box platform in quite some time. That's because Box documents can now include more context than just a file name and date stamp. It will also allow companies and products using Box documents to create workflows around that metadata.
