FREE Box.com 25GB Cloud Storage

400

The default storage offering is still 5G on the website.
Looks like the 25 GB is permanent. However, it is limited to the 100 MB file size.
Here's a link to the Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.box.androi…

    Apparently I already have 50GB … better start using it :-)

      Me too. Don't remember how I got it (prob through ozbargain somewhere along the line) though :P

      Good backup for dropbox- along with skydrive and this I have close to 100GB :)

      • 100GB of what

        • Ah, USB keys? :) :P

        • 100GB of what

          Linux distros.

      I have 50GB too, it was from the deal for installing android app. But the "limited to the 100 MB file size" makes it useless.
      No desktop app.

      So if you want to share say 50 photos with someone, you have to use the web interface 50 times and sit in front ofthe PC all that time. Cuz a zip is over 100MB. And there's no sync app.

        You can of course make your zip files 99mb, or upload folders. Zipping jpg photos does not reduce the size hardly at all, so you still have to upload the same amount anyway. You can drag and drop multiple files - but I can see how it would be too hard for some to use :)

        No desktop app? Wrong.

  • Haven't been using box since 2006, but my account is still there… somewhat i have 50GB storage.

  • What else does a man need when he already has cloud storage?
    More cloud storage, of course.
    Thanks voldemort

      A good data connection to take advantage of it.

      4G still hasn't really taken off in Australia and won't for another 12-24 months.

      • Very true :-(

        As much as I dislike the iPhone, hopefully its uptake of LTE should prompt an increased demand for it, and the telco's will hasten with their supply.

        Though I'm on HSPA+ and it's far from unusable.

    Box 50GB
    Dropbox 28.25GB
    Skydrive 25GB
    Google Drive 5GB
    Need moer cloud. =P

    Even with BOX having the most space, i really prefer Dropbox's interface and prefer the app too.

    • I'm quite a fan of Dropbox too, it'll take a lot to drag me off it as my primary cloud service. Though I do like Google Drive's integration with Android devices, despite the limited capacity.

      So much cloud its raining bytes…

    • There is also iDrive and Sugarsync.
      I've used both and they work well.

    • I use Google Drive 80gb (~$40/yr) and dropbox ~5gb. Both backup my essential folders and Google Drive does my photos. Peace of mind is so worth it.

      How easy would it be to upload 25gb of stuff to box? Won't bother if it will take more then a few clicks.

      • Google Drive? Why not Google+ for photos?

        • Same thing in terms of storage, very integrated service really.

        • except g+ is free.

    I got the 50GB bonus with the Touchpad and find it quite handy for doc/excel storage and transfer when linked with QuickOffice. I also bought a pogoplug in the US for $25 when I was over there so currently have 4TB accessible in my cloud. And it is a nice bright pink colour too!

  • Is this for new customers only? I'm stuck on 5GB and trying to upgrade, but the link above only takes me to a sign-up page (http://www.box.com/signup/o/fetchnotes_25)…?

    • Best advice I can give you - set up a new account. You may need to go through the pain of uploading the 5GB again, but you will have 5x the capacity. Easier if you got access to a fast net at school or work, but even at home 5GB is still manageable.

  • Well - last night I opened a Box account using my phone (Android app) and it showed only 5GB of space
    This morning I login from PC and its now showing 25GB!

  • ronnie only has an iphone!

  • I've used all these and I find Cubby to be the best. It even syncs over ethernet/Wi-Fi if your devices are on the same network. That also means that you can use it as a sync service for private stuff you don't want in the cloud. They also have 5GB cloud storage as well.

    It's currently invite only, so if you want to give it a whirl let me know.

    Disclaimer: I get an extra 1GB storage for inviting people, but I really don't care about that (I've already got 10GB I'm not using). If I did want more I could just create my own accounts and invite them.

    EDIT: I just checked the site to get a link for you all, and apparently it's finally open to all now.

    https://www.cubby.com/

    Forget the stuff about requesting an invite from me and just go get it. It's good stuff.

    already had 50GB XD

  • Anyone know how people actually get the 25GB? I downloaded the app, registered through the app, then confirmed e-mail. Still have 5GB.

    Do you do something special?

    • I just clicked on the above link, registered through the site, and it worked fine.

      Signup to receive 25GB + Sync

      • Ah, woops. So the process is to sign up through the site, not the app in the OP's link.

  • Dropbox - 72.85GB
    Box - 50GB
    Skydrive - 25GB
    Google Drive - 5GB

    and the only one I use is dropbox for it's compatibility with most popular android apps :\
