I think you pay for the features not for the storage. Mozy will backup unlimited data for $5 a month, but you cant share or access the data online.

Doesn’t anyone else think that $80/year for 5GB for storage is a little crazy?

Hey Chrys,

Sorry for the confusing response from Box support. We’re still figuring out our support policies for third-party services, and we didn’t mean to leave you hanging like this – we absolutely do appreciate that you’re testing and using OpenBox! We’ll be sure to follow up with some additional measures you can take to make sure everything is working for the twitter posting. Again, sorry for the confusion. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to email me directly – aaron [at] box.net.

- Aaron

Here’s a strange email response from them about issues with the Twitter service – I guess it’s meant as, “not our app so don’t expect support from us” which is fine and all if they don’t want any end user testing, but the whole “default facilities” kinda has me scratching my head as I thought OpenBox was their “facility”.

[...] Box.net Releases OpenBox Platform for Integration of Web Applications Annotated The platform, once rolled out in full by December 5th, will enable web developers to create “service actions” on Box.net that allow users to easily load their files into 3rd-party web applications. These service actions will also permit users to transfer their files back to Box.net once they have been edited elsewhere. OpenBox is therefore meant to help transform Box.net into an online file system where users can store the data they want to load into various applications on the web. [...]

I stop using S3. Then I found Bucket Explorer. I’ve been uploading continuously for the past 14 hours. It doesn’t time out like S3Fox even when you surf. http://www.bucketexplorer.com/

Well, yes, this ones better. I used to use 4shared.com, but the java supported drag and drop feature is good. I guess even photobucket has similar features.
