From the Box website:
This promotion has ended, but don’t fret! If you have an Xperia or LG Android device, you can take advantage of our 50 GB offer until December 31, 2012.
It would seem that the free offer has been extended... sort of!
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!

Anyone here have an Xperia/LG Android device they can use to bump my account with, please?
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

Yay! 50GB to play with! My thanks to the kind person concerned! :D

What's more, my maximum filesize limit has been boosted from 25MB to 100MB as well! Awesome!

Yeah... shame about the lack of download stats, though!

Anyone here have an Xperia/LG Android device they can use to also bump my account with too, please, please, pretty please?
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

For sharing Oolite files, the storage limit is not the limiting factor, but the monthly bandwidth. Currently I use 3/4 of it each month. Today it is at 45% and the month is not over yet. I use only 0.1 GB for Oolite stuff. So I could store more but I would break the monthly limit. God knows how big that is, as I could not find it in their list, I only see the percentage of its maximum.

You appear to host a lot of OXPs. :wink:

I'm not following my box statistics too closely, but I don't think I have ever used more than 10, perhaps 15% of my monthly bandwidth.

thanks, found it in my settings also: Bandwidth used: 4.5GB of 10.0GB. This number is not on their page with different subscriptions, so I have no idea how this increases for a paying subscriptions. :lol:
And I already used the free offer to increase the storage limit to 50GB. So with a monthly limit of 10 GB it would take me 5 months to download it all. :P

Anyhow, with the default 5.0 GB fully used you would already exceed your limit when every file was downloaded twice a month. :shock:

Thanks for the upgrade Gimi. :D Probably going to need this.

Funny thing though: before I switched my password back I had statistics again. After, gone again. :roll:

There seems to have been another upgrade at box.com.
Got an e-mail today that the file size limit has been upped to 250MB.
Haven't tested it though.

Yep... I have that too. Even for the basic personal accounts, it seems... good!
It'd be handy if they upped the monthly bandwidth too!

Thanks Gimi - I've just had a look and the maximum files size is indeed 250MB (The total storage for the free personal accounts is still 5GB).
