AppBox is a tool for iOS developers to deploy Development, Ad-Hoc, and In-house (Enterprise) applications directly to the devices from your Dropbox account.

Why AppBox?

1. Unlimited App Installations

Deploy as many apps as you need without any restrictions. Scale your development and testing workflow without worrying about installation limits.

2. No File Size Restrictions

Upload apps of any size without limitations. Whether it's a lightweight utility or a resource-heavy game, AppBox handles it all seamlessly.

3. Never Expire

Your uploaded apps remain accessible indefinitely. No more worrying about broken links or expired installations disrupting your workflow.

Each app gets a unique, permanent installation link that remains consistent across updates. Share once, use forever with automatic version management.

5. Version History Access

Install any previous version of your app using the same link. Perfect for testing regressions, comparing versions, or rolling back when needed.

6. Email Distribution

Automatically send installation links via email to your team members and beta testers. Streamline your app distribution workflow with built-in notifications.

7. Smart Upload Recovery

Automatically resume uploads after network interruptions or failures. Never lose progress on large file uploads due to connectivity issues.

8. Team Chat Integration

Connect with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Chat through webhooks. Get instant notifications when new builds are ready for testing.

9. Centralized Dashboard

Manage all your uploaded apps from a single, intuitive dashboard. Access and manage all your uploaded builds from this interface.

Seamlessly integrate with your existing Fastlane workflows. Automate app uploads and distribution as part of your CI/CD pipeline.
