Same here, tried for two days, without desktop sync and the limited filesize, the 50GB is sitting there empty… if the goal was to increase user count with incurring cost, they succeeded.

Back to my 3GB very useful DropBox account…

My only other reason I dont use box is box has very poor linux based support (None) and it has to be done using manual FTP which is a pain to fix when they do thing like switch servers and is nowhere near as nice as dropbox’s linux app

Agreed. I have had the 50mb for a month or so now but practically never use it due to the fact there is no desktop Sync option without a monthly charge. i’d pay for the app for my desktop but won’t sign up with a monthly service charge. 4.5GB of Dropbox space works for me for now.

I agree, no desktop app means no go for me.

Yes, just downloaded it in Bluestacks and it worked fine so it should work in Android x86 or SDK as well.

Funny question — will you get 50GB if you’re using an Android emulator on a Desktop?

except for the fact that you can’t upload any file larger than 100MB. I have had the 50GB for awhile, but find little use for that since they want me to pay to be able to upload larger files. I’ll stick with my DropBox.

Box is nice with the 50GB of free storage but still is to limited for my needs.I prefer Dropbox over this offer any time.And by the way for those who only have the 2GB on Dropbox you should visit their forums the have some ways to get more space for free I am up to 8GB now.

they have to get rid of that upload limitation. PERIOD!!!

I might use this for my pictures and documents, and use dropbox for the auto backup of my camera pics. If I could get more dropbox storage for free, I have 2.5gb, then I’d only use dropbox.
