[INFO] Free Box.net 50GB account with HP Touchpad

---

Hey guys!

As i'm sure most of you are aware you can get a 50GB free box account with your touchpad. But you can easily create MULTIPLE accounts by simply logging out in the app and creating a new account. Then you have 100GB free over 2 accounts!

You can add both or more box accounts to your touchpad accounts anyway

Just thought I'd share

Is there any kind of desktop sync software, like what Dropbox gives you? If not, maybe I'll just use Box as long-term storage for things I'm not using regularly. Clever idea about the multiple accounts by the way

Box.net don't provide one without changing your subscription to a paid one. But software such as Gladinet will allow you to mount it as a drive in windows. You can also add multiple accounts too

If you are running Windows, you can use WebFolders. It doesn't give you sync, but you can drag & drop files in and out of box.net with explorer. Just google 'box.net webfolders'.

I tried that, but couldn't get it to work. It connected but wouldn't allow me to upload anything!

Still Gladinet works perfectly and is free

It says with the free edition of Gladinet that you only get 1000 file transfers per task...Any idea what this means??

From what I gather it means you can't say paste more than 1000 things at once. I have uploaded 30GB of photos in a batch without any problems

I uploaded about 2GB of photos to box.net thinking that I can look at them on the TP. However, when I go to look at them on the TP's box.net, it is so slow to the point where I can't scroll the pictures filename list. And there is no preview or miniturized picture icon so you know what you are looking at (like on a PC). To see the picture you have to click each filename and wait for the whole file to download. The process is painfully slow. Guess it's only good for "parking" your files.

Also there is a filesize limit of 25MG unless you pay. This makes it all a bit of a waste of time for me, even Microsoft Skydrive is better (although has no app).

Did you mean 25MB? If it was 25GB that would be awesome lol. But if you did mean 25MB, then you are wrong, on 50GB accounts, the filesize limit is 1GB per file, trust me I've already tested this and it works
