Box.net

I like the concept of Box.net, which is 1GB on online storage for $2.99 per month.  Unfortunately the service seems to be capped at 1GB per month, which is less than I would prefer if I was paying for storage; 3–5GB feels a little better for me and I would be willing to pay around $3 a GB for it per month (though I would hope that I would get a volume discount).  I guess I could get a few boxes to separate different files, which wouldn’t necessarily be such a bad thing.

I definitely like the fact that Box.net is a web application and requires no application download, making it truly platform-independent.  What I really like is the ability to syndicate files via RSS using what Box.net calls filefeed.

I’m still debating, but I’ll probably wind up signing up for the service, so stay tuned for future reviews.
