The developers of the cross-platform mobile application, Fetchnotes, recently added another way to back up and secure your notes created in its mobile app, this time to the cloud storage service, Box.com. If you’re not currently a Box user, you can sign up and get a whopping 25GB of storage space to upload any files you like to your account. This offer appears to be only for new Box registrants.
While the text-based notes you create in Fetchnotes may never get above 25mb, the 25 gigs of space offered by Box is very generous, and could be useful for backing up and/or sharing photos, song files, a large collection of PDFs, and other documents. Box has its own mobile and web browser apps which means you can access the content in your account from anywhere with internet access.
Fetchnotes explains the process of connecting its app with your Box account–that is, after you register on Box. One part of the instructions that might not be clear is that you must make the connection between your Fetchnotes and Box account via your online Fetchnotes account, not through the mobile app.
When you sign into Fetchnotes, you need to click on your username and select Settings, which will display a connection window. From there, you select the “upload to box” window. Note you can also connect to your Evernote account, as well as send notes via SMS and email.
Fetchnotes also says that you can get an additional 25GB of space when invite a friend to register with Box Sync.

Too bad the 25 GB get added to your existing account.
I get the 50 GB from the android sync test and it doesn’t gets upgraded. :’(
It’s a nice combo: Fetchnotes and Box.
what do you mean added to your existing account? because I have a box.com account with 50gb space, does it mean that if I register for fetchnote I’ll get additional 25GB space for my box.com account?
That would be cool, but that doesn’t happen.
So, NO, you don’t get an extra 25 GB.
If you link from fetchnotes to a NEW box account, you get 25GB instead of 5 GB.
Vampie, thanks for the clarification. I guess the company has to have some limits to how much they give away, or else they wouldn’t survive.
My pleasure
And indeed, 25 GB is already a nice start :-)
I tried to connect to Box from Fetchnotes & continue to get a 404 error….site down??
Tracy, you might try again in a day or two. There might be lots of traffic or something to the site.
I got the 25Gb from a new signup a few weeks ago.
i’m already have Box with 25 GB..can i get additional 25 GB with fetchnotes?
According to one reader, no, it only appears to be for new registers.
I signed up and did get a 25GB account, i invited one of my friend to join Box by creating a folder and asking to colloborate, But i haven’t got the 50GB upgrate yet. Am i missing something ?
Amit, give them a day or two, and if you don’t receive it, email both companies to find out what happened.
i could not find anywhere in the article where it is mentioned abt +25Gb in addition to the existing space. so whatever u do, u only get 25gb space on box.
end of story
The 25 gigs appears to be for only new years. But maybe you can get additional 25 if you refer someone who registers an account with Box?
This doesn’t add 25GB to your existing account, to all those thinking that! c:
signed up and got 25GB…thanks for the update – I am really looking for some cloud service like this.
Great you to took advantage of it, Faisal.
how to invite someone?
This is what it says on the Fetchnote website: “A couple days after you sign up, Box will send you an email that will prompt you to give out 25GB to other people.”
Sorry, but it doesn’t say how you will get 25GB for getting someone to register. Please write them for clarification.
The link to the fetchnotes blog is dead:

works fine for me.
I created a new account and did not get the 25GB. How do you get that ?
Just tried it, and I can confirm it is only for new accounts. If anyone experiences anything different with their current account please let us know.
Thanks for letting us know.
Cool!
created a new account. I hope it works fine…
I set up my accounts and can’t yet confirm the 25 gb but this Box and Fetchnotes will be useful to me.
Bruce, you should receive 25gb on Box. If not, contact them. It should specify in your account.
Great to have an additional 25 GB.
Tom, did you get an additional 25 gigs as an existing member?
Finally i’ve large cloud storage… hurrrrey. thnx and guys this works perfect..
You’re welcome.
nice……
Thanks, is another bigger? box.com? is it recommended?
Fatihamazah, I’m not sure what you’re asking.
Is this only for pdf/documents ?
Nope, I don’t think so. You should be able to dump any files you want in it, including song and movie files.
is their any comparison between different cloud storage services avaliable now?
Ahmed, take a look at this recent MUO article: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/cloud-storage-showdown-dropbox-google-drive-skydrive/
For me personally, Dropbox, Box, and Google’s storage service is more than I need. So i really don’t compare; i just take advantage of them.
they should give present users extra space too.
I signed up and gotted 25GB.
Got my 25GB space :)
