Today I bring you a fantastic offer, the opportunity to get 50gb of on-line storage for free! If you need to back up documents, music and videos this solution easily beats the 2gb of storage space offered by dropbox and also lasts forever!
Where do I get it?
Simply download the box.com app on your iOS device and set up an account. This takes under 2 minutes and you are rewarded with 50gb of free storage instantly.
What happens if I don't have an iOS device, but want to take advantage of this offer?
Either borrow one from a friend or visit an Apple store or any store with iOS products on display. You can download the app there, set up your account, then delete the app when you are done.
How long does the offer last?
50 days from today, which is up to Saturday, 3rd December 2011.
Why should I use this over iCloud or Dropbox?
Don't use it over the other options, all offer their benefits and I would advise that like me, you sign up for all three. The clear advantage of dropbox is the space offered.
55gb on iCloud costs $100 per year, 50gb on dropbox costs $9.99 per month.
What is the catch
The only problem I can see with this offer is that the maximum filesize allowed to be uploaded is only 100mb. This is fine for (most) documents and music files, but not large enough for medium long video files such as episodes of television. The service also seems to be less "automatic" than the one dropbox provides.
Made use of this offer? Let me know below!

APP HIGHLIGHT 4: Dropbox
Tweet
For long term readers of this blog, todays post may bring back a memory of a similar post that I wrote back in June 2010, but this app is so great and seeming still uncommon enough to inspire me to once again sing its praises.

Unusually, this article is actually relevant to anyone that owns any kind of smartphone with either iOS, Android or Blackberry OS or anybody that owns a Windows, OSX or Linux based computer. To me that seems like everyone!
The purpose of dropbox is to back up your important files online, and allow you to access them from any computer anywhere in the world. (You do not even need the app installed on the computer you wish to get your files on, but you will need the app on a computer if you want the documents to be updated and uploaded automatically). Installing the app on your smartphone allows you to also access these documents without even having access to a computer.
As usual in my app highlight section, Dropbox is totally free for 2gb of storage space in which to back up your documents, which can be absolutely any type of file that you wish. Users wishing to store more than this can either pay money to increase their storage space up to 200gb or refer friends to dropbox, giving a bonus 250mb of space whenever a friend signs up.
The beauty of dropbox, and to me what sets it apart from its competitors is that it is RIDICULOUSLY EASY TO USE. For totally fail safe backups and peace of mind all you need to do is install dropbox on your computer, and save any documents you wish to be backed up online into the "dropbox" folder that the program will create. (When installing the software on a computer there is a great tutorial which displays automatically explaining exactly what to do).
By trying this software you have nothing to lose, in all honesty I think it is genuinely one of the best pieces of software around at the moment and is extremely well executed. For anybody with important things on their computer that they do not wish to lose (seems to happen to everybody at somepoint) I would urge you to give dropbox a try by downloading at the link below!
