In a report no doubt catching the eye of antitrust watchdogs, The Information says a Google (GOOG, GOOGL) program has provided the tech giant with data on how Android users interact with non-Google apps.
Google’s previously unreported effort – “Android Lockbox” – has tapped sensitive data for years, according to the report.
And that information has proved useful to Google’s own efforts; the report cites the example of YouTube planning a rollout in India with the help of sensitive information about how people in the country were using TikTok (BDNCE) and its competitors on the Google-developed operating system.
Under a new strategic partnership, Box (BOX -2.2%) will use Google Cloud (GOOG -3.6%)(GOOGL -3.4%) as a “key provider for data storage across the globe.”
The companies will deliver Google Cloud’s Document Ai as part of the Box Skills Kit, and Box will add single-sign on enhancements and two-factor authorization support to Google Authenticator.
G Suite will gain a “save to Box” Add-In in the fourth quarter.
The new agreement builds on the existing relationship between Box and Cloud, integration partners since 2018.
