Box.net 50gb cloud storage Today only!

[lilfiend]

if you signup for box.net's free personal account and install the android application you get 50gb free cloud storage for life

this is only valid for today as far as i know, i found the android application by searching for "box" in the android market (or google play, whatever it is now)

Sure, but what's the maximum individual file size? 100mb? I have a 50GB account with 1GB max file size, from when I bought my Touchpad, but I can't see them bringing that back

Edit: It says until March 23 and I made a new account, which gave me "Max file size: 100 MB"

thanks for the info, i hadn't taken note of those details! Either way 7zipping stuff into 100mb parts will work for me

I'll bet the file limit reason is to prevent file-sharing, to avoid getting crushed like MegaUpload?

Free only allows one file to be up/downloaded at a time FYI. And only manually.

Damn it! I got the Touchpad deal also but only have a 100MB limit. Poo poo!

According to this - https://support.box.net/entries/20768867-box-50-gb-promotion-faqs

It was only ever supposed to be 100MB?


EDIT: Well isn't this a crock of shit!

"Hi everyone,
From the beginning, the promotion we agreed on with HP was 50GB of free cloud storage, along with a 100MB file size limit for uploads. Due to a misconfiguration on our end, some lucky users received a 1GB limit, and we’ll of course continue to honor that for those accounts. We’re sorry about any confusion that discrepancy has caused.

Hopefully this answers any questions you might have about the app. Again, sincere apologies for any confusion or inconvenience." - http://community.box.com/boxnet/topics/why_didnt_i_get_the_free_50gb_account_when_i_signed_up_via_my_new_touchpad?from_gsfn=true
