    Box vs Dropbbox

    Any reason why one would choose dropbox over box?
    Box has 10MB vs 2MB.
    I'm trying to create a paperless world, cloud helps.
    Also working on multiple machines and places, it helps.
    I have a view dropbox accounts - some due to experimenting. So Box may also resolve the issue.

    Any views?

    Hasn't Dropbox just increased the 2 to 20 or something like that. I only use Dropbox and never had a problem.

    You use Dropbox for personal information which is free?
    Or business -- which I am sure there is a charge for?
    Is there a cloud site that offers free storage for businesses?

    they are both free
    you can upgrade and pay, then you get more storage and probably features
    I see that box even integrates with other cloud apps, example salesforce

    Anthony when I checked on fri the business Dropbox is 795 dollars per year. Obviously advantage is it is admin controlled whereas normal Dropbox files could be changed by anyone else that u allow access to. I use it for myself only and if staff need docs they e mail it to each other.

    I would imagine that's the big thing for business.
    Box seems to have more capability for that.
    You can elect which files/folders update.
    Allow access to different folders and different people. Seems to be superior to dropbox on a number of fronts.

    This is my goal for next week or so.
    Discipline myself to work on cloud, keep everything in one place.
    Then go paperless. I'm using a laptop and tablet at same time, so that helps, can read and research on one whilst typing on another. Will possibly look at hooking up another screen.

    I just checked it has been upgraded to 50g !! Free - obviously there was some competition.

    Good lord. 50 G.
    Anyway space is hardly an issue, as you could just use multiple boxes. Although that defeats my objective.
