About Us
Boxaddy was intially built for personal use, it originated from the need for a portable storage device we could use over wifi hence we stumbled on the idea of turning a mobile phone into a server.
Boxaddy evnetually grew into something more practical than was orginally intended. i.e An "Edge first" SaaS [Software as a service] or as we like to call it :Software as a server.
Boxaddy is capable of running entire (Productivity Focused) Saas web servers on a mobile device or Personal Computer, all without the need for an internet connection.
It was designed with the aim of simplifying "data sharing" between mobile phones and desktop/notebook devices.
Although not its primary function Boxaddy can be defined as a "data sharing" application.
A common problem Boxaddy solves is the convuluted process required in sharing pictures, notes and files across devices. i.e PC to PC or mobile phone to PC
With applications like whatsapp a user must first>> 1) connect to the internet (if available)>> 2) connect their phone to whatsapp desktop,>> 3) select a file, photo or send a message>> 4) wait until it arrives at the intended destination.
Boxaddy simplifies the whole process by eliminating the need for the middle man (i.e the internet), with Boxaddy the users can now easily share files, photos and notes directly to and from their mobile device or personal computer [without the need for an internet connection].
Eliminating the need for an internet connection makes data sharing significantly faster.
Other than being comparatively faster than applications like whatsapp, it is also more secure since there is no need to connect to the internet or store your sensitive personal data in the cloud.
