So for a non-Windows user, it sounds like you can upload via a web 
interface (do I have that right? Or is that only for certain file 
types?) and then you need to download via webdav, which I think will 
only work on a desktop machine. And if I want to access my files on my 
iPad or my Android tablet, I can't. The web site has a list of only a 
few apps that they say are integrated with box.net, none of which I own 
or use, and the web interface supports only Office-type documents.
