Website Review: Private File Sharing with Box.Net

There are a great number of quality and easy to use file sharing sites on the Internet, most of which will require a small membership fee. The fee's are low and competitive if you are planning to host several large websites. Most people are just looking to share pictures with friend's, or double up the back-up of their important files.

Box.net passes the tests of user-friendliness, ease of navigation and storage space with flying colours. Best of all, there is nothing to be downloaded or installed, as Box.net is a Member's Website. Simply take a couple of minutes to complete the free sign up and you will be taken to your files page, accepting music, video, image and text documents.
