Post by tinker »

Box have a promotion for new accounts, 50Gb free for life, not sure how long the promo will last but you do get the oportunity to forward another 50Gb to a friend as well.

But you can't upgrade an existing account? Pity.

Anyway, if somebody has a third-person upgrade to give away, I'd be interested.

This would be handy for me if they'll host 500-600Mb planet texture zips

The max file-size on the Box free personal account is only 250MB, and the monthly bandwidth is only 10GB.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

As I have just discovered> Anyone who wants a 50Gb invite (I have two available apparently) , pm me.

Yes, that makes a 50GB account a bit useless. It takes 5 months to download everything from it. :lol:

I have a 50GB account from a previous offer, but ran into my monthly bandwidth of only 10GB last january. :(

So, for private files maybe nice, but not for hosting files for Oolite were the monthly bandwidth is the bottleneck.

I'm going to refrain from my normal rant at this point.

100gb webspace, unlimited bandwidth, free, friendly staff...

I've just noticed that my Box account monthly bandwidth hasn't reset - anyone else see the same?

Mine's currently sat at 6%, so I'd say it reset last week.

Mine's on 3%, so looks like it reset fine.
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

10% already after 4 days. At least won't this month have 40 days, so i'll manage till the end. But who needs 50 GB. It now says: "Storage: 107.2MB used of 50.0GB".
So with just 0.2% of that 50.0GB I already hit my limit. :mrgreen:

Hmm... only me, then. I'll give it a few days, then email Box, I suppose.
Not that I'm likely to hit my bandwidth limit, even though it's at 28% (mostly from last month).

The offer must be over -- clicked the link, and got "can't validate your offer"
