Box.net Review
As stated earlier, box.net was found to be the superior of all 150+ file storage services we tested. Here are some of their features as well as a description.
Box.net is a virtual storage space for your computer files. With packages starting at $2 per month for 5GB, you will have enough space to hold thousands of Documents, Photos, Music Files, and Video Clips. Try it out out for as long as you'd like by signing up for a 5GB free account. It cost less than a price of a latte per month and much much less than buying a 5 gig (or even 1 gig) flash drive.
