In case some of you haven't noticed it yet, then Box.net offers free 50GB cloud storage for all Xperia smartphone users – including and released after Xperia X10, except Xperia X10 mini and X10 mini pro(some limitations).
To get it, just download the Box application from Market, install it and register account directly from your Xperia, or log in if you already have account.
You get 50 GB of free cloud storage, maximum file size is 100MB. And it is forever.
Offer itself is until 31st December 2012.
wow! Thanks for the info!!
I did it, but it shows on 5.0gb? Is it because I'm using custom rom? Or the 50gb will be credited later?

I got 50GB immediately.
Depending on custom ROM, it might not detect if it is Xperia phone or not. It could be the problem.
will give it a go later

I just tried it on my Telus Optimus One running CM7. Created a box account and it instantly gave me 50 GB of storage. It's not even a phone I use day to day but because I owned something LG, I was able to get the offer.
I presume this will work on all LG Androids... every Optimus that exists and runs 2.1 or above.
Worked for me. It's a pity that there is no desktop sync...

I get 50GB storage with Box.
Ok, so I made the file changes, installed, reinstalled the original file and rebooted. Everything seemed to work fine for a while.
Now I'm having problems and I'm nitty sure if this is related? I haven't made any other changes, so this is my starting point....
Since the change/change back, I'm getting motorola.service errors and exchange contacts won't sync.
Could this be related?

No, it should work on correctly configured custom ROMs as well ... I successfully got the account upgrade with Box on GingerDX (v021).

Dropbox is the most preferred option.
I personally use Box as it gave me lifetime 50GB storage, it runs sweet on my SGS2 & I use it every day. The only 1 issue I have is the upload limit, so it can take a few minutes to upload large files. But that is something I can happily live with, or I can upgrade for a few pounds & then the limits are removed. So my point is use whatever you feel suits you best, not somebody else

Box as they give me 50gb lifetime storage. They do limit upload speeds & file sizes but if you pay for upgrade the limits are removed. Its very cheap too considering what you get for your pound notes

Hand down Dropbox because I can sync it with titanium backup ADIE and my computer.
I only have 10GB on Dropbox, but more and more app are adding Dropbox interrogation and right now that's more useful then 45gb of space I have nothing to do with.

There's Box integration in TiBu now, by the way.
I would say dropbox is the more popular one out of the 2.
Here is a guide to help you get more space out of dropbox http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520930
I use Dropbox because I can run it on Windows, GNU/Linux and my cellphone. Not sure if the other app mentioned in the OP can do that, but Dropbox does with without much of a problem..
I like DropBox for the seamless synchronization - I always know that I am working on the latest version of a file without having to manually download it. At least the way that I have things set up, Dropbox feels a lot more like an extension of my existing storage rather than a separate storage space.
I tried box some time ago, but i found the maximum file size very annoying. None of that with dropbox.

I started using Box since the free 50GB promo. Titanium allows you to backup with box so now I can have all my apps backed up and still have plenty of space left.

I use both. Normally prefering Dropbox but mobile version are light years behind desktop version. In principle mobile version is not usable.

Give Dropsync a try - truly makes dropbox as seamless on mobile as it is on the desktop.
I personally use both. I use Box to keep a backup of, like, everything. I use Dropbox for sharing files since it's so easy. Share a link, person clicks on link, file automatically downloads.
I prefer Dropbox. The only reason is that there is upload limit and bandwidth limit in box.
Above all, I would rather prefer minus which gives upto 50 GB extended space with no upload and bandwidth limits!
Hi guys,

Or he can just deal with the Box storage . There's nothing wrong with it, and titanium backup can upload your backups directly to it.
It works like a charm for me, and it's free.
Edit: haha, didnt notice your market link was for Box, sorry :screwy:

Hey guys,
I just found a relatively new cloud storage app called Copy. They are giving away 20GB (15Gb + 5GB for using the referral link) to new users. I'm a pretty avid Dropbox user so I always end up comparing things with them. So far I've been really pleased with Copy. There isn't anything it won't do that Dropbox does. I also think I may actually like their mobile app better than Dropbox's.
Some great features I've found so far:
20GB OF FREE SPACE FOR LIFE! Thats way more than any of the other guys are offering in their free tiers. And this isn't temporary space like you'd get with other promos from Dropbox.
NO FILESIZE LIMITS. Some of the others I've tried (I'm looking at you Box) give you tons of free space but then cap you at 200mb or less file size limits. I uploaded a 1GB file as a test and it took it without complaints.
Multi-platform. They have a desktop sync app for Windows, Mac, and Linux and have Android and iOS mobile apps.
5GB per referral you have sign up! Compared to the others, I could only find 1 that gave 1GB free space per referral. (Note - it says on their website this is only going to be for a limited time so I imagine they will eventually lower it to 1GB or something)
So now that you are all pumped and excited to go sign up, here is the link to use to sign up:MOD EDIT LINK REMOVED Make sure to use that link because you will get the 15GB for signing up plus the additional 5GB for using a referral link.
Once you use the link above to sign up, download and install the desktop sync app and/or the mobile app from Google Play MOD EDIT LINK REMOVED
Enjoy your free cloud storage!
Thanks,
Zeustopher
