It’s not the first time Ive been tricked into reading an “article” that turns out to be an ad. I still don’t like it.
This video is a bit older than the recent vesorin of WIN Remote. Drag and drop should work like on a normal laptop’s touchpad: Double tab and hold the second tab.
From BOX FAQ
What is the file upload limit?Normally free Box Personal accounts have a 25MB upload limit, but we’re bumping it up to 100MB for this promotion in order to help you get the most out of your 50GB of storage. With a 100MB upload limit, you’ll be able to easily save pictures, presentations, audio files and documents to the cloud.Reading is fundamental. :-) besides it’s free storage.
Amazing, because of your post, I just made an account and got the 50Gbyte message, I think I will switch from DropBox, let me test their service and desktop app to check how that will work with me, Thanks for the post again .
qox, I just checked now on the settings panel i can read that the maximum file size is 100Mbyte .
“Max file size:
100 MB
— Upload files up to 2GB”
Thank you, I’ll try it then .. until the 23rd when they bring it back to 25MB (it’s a guess, didnt find the faq..).
Still worth mentionning, dont you think ? compared to other cloud services..

one CANNOT change one’s own box.net password !!!!
to change user password one must email tech support
WTH is that?
You can definitely change your own password on the website. Maybe you just can’t via the Android/iOS application.
Just make sure to NEVER upgrade your account… I decided that I wanted to give their paid version a try, figured out it just wasn’t for me and wanted to go back to what I previously had… Not so. They will take away the 50GB account and set you at 5GB. The only real value in upgrading for me was going to be the ability to use the Box Sync – which is not as good as DropBox. I also used this account to share files with my clients, after upgrading, I was limited to only being able to do that to 3 people, rather than the unlimited that I was able to do before? And forget about any kind of refund. I requested an account downgrade 2 days after signing up and they responded (after about 3-4 days) by letting me know that they didn’t issue refunds. I do not trust this company and am happy to have become a premium dropbox member instead… Stay far away – that is unless you have your 50GB; in that case NEVER upgrade!!
What a horror story! Thanks for the warning.
