Title: Document Storage & Sharing
Post by: cheeky monkey on February 14, 2014, 01:40:03 PM
Hi,

Thought it might be of interest to those of you sharing specs/diagrams etc . Just been been trying out this BOX app the last few days and it works ok for syncing and storage. I need to play with it a bit more to see its full capabilities. Its similar in fashion to Dropbox, which I'm happy with, but its nice to have some more storage space somewhere.  250MB is biggest file that can be uploaded on the free account

you get 10gb for a personal account but there is an offer of 50gb free until tomorrow (15th Feb)  if you sign up on an ioS/apple device.. I think this will still work for anyone with an Android phone as long as you find someone you know with an  iphone/ipad and sign up using that.

see this link for detail: https://box.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201178517 (https://box.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201178517)

Once you've downloaded app on your iphone/ipad, download the following on your desktop computer:

1) Box Sync:  which allows you to manage which files on the desktop folder you wish to send for storage

2) Box Edit: which allows you to edit the files you stored
