Box.com. (Just Like Dropbox) Free 50Gb Online Storage For Android App Users

Sponge Bob

1. Go here and register a personal account for 5Gb

www.box.com

You get 5Gb

2. Download the Box.com Android APP onto an LG or Sony Experia Android Phone ( no other make....not Samsung or HTC etc) from the Android Market.

Install and Launch.

Immediately Login with username and password.

Presto. 50Gb Online Storage for Life upgrade is applied upon login.

Note. While you get an android app on a phone it simply uses a browser elsewhere.

Only the Android App download and login will get you your upgrade from 5Gb - 50Gb

1gb max, file size??

Sponge Bob

Yes there is a max file size ....put the Videos in Dropbox and the photos in The Box instead.

There is a suite of integration apps for The Box. Have a look here. It is particularly useful with email and MS Office and for photos and albums..and sharing them

EG This one sends screenshots straight into storage http://sites.box.com/apps/web/simpleshare/ or upload a file on a drag and drop .

It also works from a browser...anywhere that is. Dropbox requires an install and unlinking and relinking if 2 users wish to use it off 1 pc..with The Box you could have one login in Firefox and another in Chrome for 100Gb space an with the Simpleshare App logged into a third separate one.

Thanks SB

Exactly what I was looking for..great spot

i think max filesize is 100mb and upload speed is b.r.u.t.a.l

Sponge Bob

Finally there are apps that install into your online account like the Picnik photo editor that edits ( in a browser) a file in the cloud as well as apps that install on your PC.

I am very impressed with it. Get yer 50Gb ( per account) by tomorrow evening as instructed in post number 1.

Got it - Will come in very handy. Thanks OP.

Sponge Bob

kevohmsford

Thanks for the heads up on this. Delighted with it. Will come in very handy

Sponge Bob

Last few hours for this one. 11:59 means up to 4am our time tonight.

Keep an eye out here for the next one, they did one for the IPad before christmas and I reckon the next one will run after the launch of the iPhone5 and once the iPad3 gets some volume out there. If you have ACCESS to an LG or Sony Experia Android phone ( just those two) you may still avail of it after this time.

Unless you can activate the 50Gb offer on an LG Android phone this offer has now expired.

You may activate as many 5-50gb upgrades as you wish on an LG or Sony Experia brand Android phone, simply load The Box client onto the phone and log in once to upgrade...then log out again.

Good app. When factory reset is done, does this app get uninstalled?

You should still be able to access it via your browser. Probably need to reinstall app but I don't think it Will effect your account

Sponge Bob

Does not affect account. The app is only needed to activate the storage upgrade. I used one app on one phone to activate 3 account upgrades by logging off and on ...no reinstall or cache clear required. Course that phone has to be an Experia or LG now.
