I didn't notice that. Did I miss something?

I see that they have changed things since last night.

I use Box and it is very good. They were doing a better deal at the time rather than Sugarsync and dropbox and I've stayed with them since. iOS app for their product too.

Just noticed they dont have version control on personal accounts.
I find that very useful with dropbox, but signed up nevertheless.

Thanks OP.

you can sign up for a new account with a different email address...maybe they can be linked? but if not, then :

CarotDAV will manage multiple cloud storage accounts thru one windows explorer type interface. (haven't used it myself, friend of mine just showed it to me)

allwaysync is another program that could be used, but it doesn't support Box at the moment

THey have apps for iOS, Android and Windows too. Dead handy those free cloud deals.

Only that the 25GB promotion seems to have expired now... you only get 5GB for free.

Just signed but not sure what for. I use Microsoft skydrive at the moment and barely can fill 5 GB (of 25). May I ask how do you fill your clouds? With ADSL connection it takes ages to upload 100mb!!

I found it very slow. My internet connection is only about 300 kbs and I wanted to upload 4gb. I expected it to take about 4hrs but 12 hours later it was only a quarter way through and then froze completely. I've never tried to upload such a large amount before so I had nothing to gauge it against.
