[OT] Box.net free 50Gb for iOS 5 users

[Chipp Walters]

Hey guys. You don't want to miss this free lifetime giveaway. Box.net recently closed on a huge round of financing, and they are now, for a limited time, allowing anyone with an iPhone or iPad and iOS5 to download their free Box.net app from the Appstore and register for a free 50Gb of online storage!

The free app pretty much sucks, but the the storage is very real. You can set up GoodReader and other desktop clients (not Box.net desktop client as they will charge you for it) and access your 50Gbs however you like. Also, if you don't have an iPhone or iPad, a friend can sign you up. Plus, you can sign yourself up for as many email addresses as you like. I've set myself up with 3 accounts and 150Gb of free data storage. I plan on using GoodSync to back up to Box.net all my important files. One note, you cannot upload a file larger than 100Mb, which shouldn't be too big an issue for me.

You can use the free version http://www.gladinet.com/ to also see all your cloud storage devices as folders on our desktop.

Hope this works for some of you!
