Box.net
June 22, 2006
I have been playing around with various ways of storing my documents online. This week I came across a free service called Box.net. Box.net is an online storage site that will give you up to 1 GB of storage for free. I have found it very helpful. They say about themselves:
Box.net is a virtual storage space for your computer files. With packages starting at just $4.99 per month for 5GB, you will have enough space to hold thousands of Documents, Photos, Music Files, and Video Clips. Try us out for as long as you’d like by signing up for our 1GB free account. Whether you want to move files among multiple computers, backup important data in the event of a computer crash, or share documents and photos with friends and colleagues, Box.net is for you. Here are just some of the recommended uses:
