Your privacy is important to Box. This privacy policy (“Policy”) applies to the Box Web sites and services and tells you how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected by Box. This statement includes both Box’s European Union - U.S. Safe Harbor Privacy Statement and the Website Privacy Statements.
We may change this Policy from time to time. If we make any changes to this Policy, we will change the “last updated” date above. If there are material changes to this Policy, we will notify you more directly. We encourage you to check this Policy whenever you use our Web sites and services to understand how your personal information is used.
We collect information from you in various ways when you use our Web sites and services. We may also supplement this information with information from other companies. We collect two general types of information, namely personal information and aggregate data. As used in this Policy, the term “personal information” means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name and email address), and demographic and other information when directly linked to information that can identify an individual.
Our definition of personal information does not include “aggregate” data. Aggregate data is information we collect about a group or category of services or users from which individual user identities have been removed. In other words, no personal information is included in aggregate data. Aggregate data helps us understand trends in our users’ needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor our services. This Policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of aggregate data, and we may share aggregate data about our users with third parties for various purposes, including to help us better understand our customer needs and improve our services and for advertising and marketing purposes.
The following are the specific types of information we collect from you.
Information You Give Us. We collect information you give us on our Web site and when you register for and use our services. Examples include the following:
Registration and Profile Information. When you register to use our services or update your profile, we may collect various kinds of information about you including, your name and email address; your title, company and other profile information you provide; demographic information; and information you upload like photos, files, and documents.
Contact Information. We collect the email addresses you provide for contacts you enter or upload into your private contacts page. When you choose to collaborate or share files with others, we also collect email addresses you provide to email invitations to those individuals on your behalf.
Payment Information. If you choose to use a paid Box account or service, our payment processing vendor collects your credit card information and billing address.
Submissions and Customer Service. From time to time we may use surveys, contests or sweepstakes requesting personal or demographic information and customer feedback.
Automatically Collected Information. We automatically receive certain types of information when you interact with our Web pages, services and communications. For example, it is standard for your Web browser to automatically send information to every Web site you visit, including ours. That information includes your computer’s IP address, access times, your browser type and language, and referring Web site addresses. We may also collect information about the type of operating system you use, your account activity, and files and pages accessed or used by you.
Cookies and Web Beacons. We may also use certain kinds of technology such as cookies and Web beacons to collect information. Among other things, the use of cookies and Web beacons enables us to improve our Web sites and emails by seeing which areas and features are most popular, to count the number of computers accessing our Web site, to personalize and improve your experience, to record your preferences, and to allow you to visit our Web site without re-entering your member ID and/or password. A cookie is a small amount of data which is sent to your browser from a Web site’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Most browsers automatically accept cookies as the default setting. You can modify your browser setting to reject our cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie by editing your browser options. However, if a browser is set not to accept cookies or if a user rejects a cookie, some portions of the Web site and services may not function properly. For example, you may not be able to sign in and access certain Web page features or services. A Web beacon is an electronic image, also called a "gif," that may be used on our Web pages to deliver cookies, count visits and compile statistics on usage and campaign effectiveness or in our emails to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.
In general, we use your personal information to process your requests or transactions, to provide you with information or services you request, to inform you about other information, events, promotions, products or services we think will be of interest to you, to facilitate your use of, and our administration and operation of, the Web site and services and to otherwise serve you and our users. For example, we may use your personal information:
Box may store and process personal information in the United States and other countries. Box adheres to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor privacy principles regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from the European Union. Box’s Safe Harbor certification can be found at http:/web.ita.doc.gov/safeharbor/shlist.nsf/webPages/safe+harbor+list. For more information about the Safe Harbor Principles, please visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Website at http://export.gov/safeharbor/.
Box reserves the right to share aggregated demographic information about our customers, sales, and traffic to our partners and advertisers. We will not give, sell, rent, share, or trade any of your personal information or any data that you store using our services to any third party except as outlined in this Policy or with your consent. We may disclose information to a third party to (a) comply with laws or respond to lawful requests and legal process, (b) to protect Box, agents, customers, and others including to enforce our agreements, policies and terms of use or (c) in the good faith belief that disclosure is needed to respond to an emergency, or protect the personal safety of any person.
Box includes collaboration features that by their nature support sharing with users you choose. Those users can see your name, email address, photo and information from your Profile page, and any files you choose to share; and they can post comments and email you. Collaborators you invite as editors can also edit your shared files, upload documents and photos to your shared files, share those documents outside of Box, and give other users rights to view your shared files.
Box provides you with opportunities to connect with third party services, such as through our Open Box page. If you choose to use any such third party services, we may facilitate sharing of your information and documents you choose to use with those services. Your use of such services is not governed by Box’s terms or privacy policy. Box does not control the services of those third parties or how they use your information and documents. Be sure to review the terms and the privacy policies of those third parties before using their services.
We may share personal information in connection with an acquisition, merger, or sale of all or a substantial portion of our business, with or to another company. In any such event, you will receive notice if your data is transferred and becomes subject to a substantially different privacy policy.
Box takes reasonable steps to protect information we collect from you to prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. In addition, highly confidential personal information such as credit card number and password that we request from you on our Web site is protected with encryption, such as Secured Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, during transmission over the Internet.
The servers on which information is stored are kept in a controlled environment with limited access. While we take reasonable efforts to guard personal information we knowingly collect directly from you, no security system is impenetrable. In addition, we cannot guarantee that any passively-collected personal information you choose to include in documents you store on our systems are maintained at adequate levels of protection to meet specific needs or obligations you may have relating to that information.
Your account information and access to our service is accessible only through the use of an individual user ID and password. To protect the confidentiality of personal information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. Please advise us immediately if you believe your password has been misused. In addition, always logout and close your browser when you finish your session. Please note that we will never ask you to disclose your password in an unsolicited phone call or email.
If your personal information changes in any way, we invite you to correct or update your information as soon as possible. You can make updates to your profile information by logging into your account on Box at any time. You can also request changes or access to your information by emailing support@box.com.
Box may send you communications or data regarding our Web sites and services, including but not limited to (i) notices about your use of our Web sites and services, including any notices concerning violations of use, (ii) updates, and (iii) promotional information and materials regarding our products and services. You may opt-out of receiving promotional emails from Box by following the opt-out instructions provided in those emails. You may also opt-out of receiving promotional emails and other promotional communications from us at any time by emailing support@box.com with your specific request. Opt-out requests will not apply to transactional service messages, such as security alerts and notices about your current account and services.
If you have any questions about this Policy, you should first contact us at support@box.com. If you do not receive a response or your inquiry has not been satisfactorily addressed, you should then contact TRUSTe at http://www.truste.org/consumers/watchdog_complaint.php. TRUSTe will serve as a liaison with Box to resolve your concerns.
Any questions about this Policy should be addressed to support@box.com.

“12:01 AM on Friday” you say? What timezone?
Anyways, a very generous promotion!
Mark Saldana October 13th, 2011
That would be PST
. Changed the post so everyone knows – thanks for asking!
daishan October 13th, 2011
Nice promo! Why, oh why, does this not apply to android users?
Jonas October 13th, 2011
Great promotion!
Doest it matter if you download and register the app today or do you have to do it during the 50-day period?
Guest October 13th, 2011
I registered for Box today via my Iphone… will I still get the 50 GB space or do I have to delete my account with you and re-register it?
Phil October 13th, 2011
I was wondering if the file size limit (25MB/file for free account) will stay the same though?
Jthansen October 13th, 2011
What about android users or users from other platforms? Excellent promo, but it seems a bit discriminatory if you confine it to users of a single platform.

Log in just about now on my iPhone (with existing 5 GB free account) & nothing changed…still have only 5 GB, is this normal ?
Peter October 13th, 2011
They did it for WebOS already.
Apple October 13th, 2011
For android users, simple fix is go download itunes. Make an account. Go to apple store. Download the app on the device. Create account get 50GB space. Go to the phone’s settings and scroll down to Store. Click on logout so it logs you out of your itunes account. Also remember to delete the App off the phone.
Stimey October 13th, 2011
Absolutely awesome! Thanks Box!
Mark Saldana October 13th, 2011
Hi Jonas,
You have to do it during the 50-day period. Just register your account on Friday and you’ll be good to go.
Mark Saldana October 13th, 2011
Hey Alex,
This starts on friday at 12 am PST.
Mark Saldana October 13th, 2011
All you need to do is download the app after 12am PST, this Friday. Simple as that
.
Mark Saldana October 13th, 2011
Hi Phil,
The limit is 100mb for this promotion.
Allen Vincent October 13th, 2011
So, if I sign up now, it won’t work? I’m on British Summer Time.

i could net get mine updated its after midnight here in California. how did you do it?
Mike Bryan October 13th, 2011
Very sad I missed this promo for Android users… was playing in the Blackberry sandbox for awhile, didn’t pay attention lol…
Ian Greulich October 13th, 2011
1 – I created a new account from my iPhone, and did not get the 50gb.
2 – You guys (the commenters) keep saying ‘Starting Friday..’ but the post very clearly states promotion starts midnight tonight (10/12/2011). I downloaded the app and created my account on (10/13/2011)
3 – What do I need to do to get the 50gb?
Smallestoceans October 13th, 2011
I didn’t get the 50gig either. Will we be automatically updated from 5gig to 50?
David Fabian October 13th, 2011
This limit is kind of disappointing, because I would like to use the service to share video project files I’m working on with a colleague. Some of the files are significantly bigger than 100mb.
FriendlySuggestion October 13th, 2011
The post should be amended to state that. As it stands it states “tonight at midnight” when the post is clearly posted on 10/12/2011, not 10/13/2011.
ZlateWay October 13th, 2011
When this will be available in CET zone? I’m from Macedonia.
Mark Saldana October 13th, 2011
Hi Ian,
The promotion starts at midnight tonight, so 12am PST on 10/14/2011. Apologies for the confusion! You’ll get a notification in the app when you can get your 50 GB.
Mark Saldana October 13th, 2011
We just wanted to give people a heads up. Apologies for any inconvenience.
MrDisco October 13th, 2011
I just downloaded the app and created an account. am i shut out of the 50gb upgrade?
modsuperstar October 13th, 2011
Your blog post is still unclear as far as the time. I know by reading the comments it starts Friday, but the bolded copy second paragraph states midnight tonight, and since the blog post is dated yesterday, midnight tonight makes implies today.
Hassen October 13th, 2011
I downloaded the App to both my iPhone & iPad, still showing 5Gb. This is a very good promotion, but this announcement is confusing. You say the promo starts at midnight, but does that mean if we got excited and did this now, we won’t get the promotion space of 50GB? That wouldn’t be right. I’m sure you guys don’t want us to delete & restart, please clarify for those of us that have jumped the gun. Thanks!
deuts October 13th, 2011
Can’t login in the app!
deuts October 13th, 2011
This really so confusing. If you downloaded the app before that time and date you keep saying, are you still entitled to the 50GB?
Guest October 13th, 2011
I noticed these instructions say to download version 2.4.3. but I’m showing the most recent available is 2.4.2
Ian David Marsden Illustration October 13th, 2011
Did not work. Just downloaded. Only 5 Gig.
Boola October 13th, 2011
This post is misleading because it says “FREE Starting Tonight” and this blog post is posted on 10/12/2011. That means tonight on the 10/12/2011 and it doesn’t mention any date or time any other than that.
Scott October 13th, 2011
I just opened an account but now that I have read this whole blog explaining Friday what do I need to do? It of course only shows 5 gigs. Will it change to 50 automatically?
ganesh October 13th, 2011
I downloaded the app and registered after 12AM…have not received 50GB…still shows 5GB…have not received any notification either… is it just gonna take a while or something?
Vtlrockz October 13th, 2011
Does anyone have any idea that if I already have a 50GB HP Touchpad account, my storage will double or something like that will happen?

Америкосы пидоры. Шутка! )))
John October 13th, 2011
So Mark, just to be clear . . .
I have an account and am running 2.4.2. If I download the new version of Box (2.4.3) after midnight PST 10/14/2011, my 5gb account will automatically be upgraded to a 50gb account at no charge? Please clarify.
Arch October 13th, 2011
For those of us who have been paying for the 25GB personal account and using iPhone/iPad, do we get free service too? Free upgrade to business account features?
Dianna October 13th, 2011
this is fantastic, thank you!
and to everyone giving heck about the timing of the original post, i think it’s time to just stop and relax now. yes, the post went live a little too early and created some confusion. everyone makes mistakes. the original meaning has been clarified below, so just download the app after midnight tonight and move along, nothing to see here.
Joel Horst October 13th, 2011
I just got the app for my iPad, registered and all I see is 5.0Gb, not 50Gb……
Shrinivas October 13th, 2011
Can someone please clarify on the version as well? On top it says to download version 2.4.3 while the latest one available in App Store is 2.4.2??
br4nd0 October 13th, 2011
I’ve been a box customer for over 4yrs. Back in the day we had to pay for 5gb. Things have come a long way! Currently I pay for 25gb with a 1gb max file upload to my personal account. Basically, I don’t have to renew anymore with this promotion. Thanks for saving me money box! I’m a long time fan!
Are there any disadvantages to becoming a non-paying personal user?
Billy October 13th, 2011
Then try paying for the service.
Justin October 13th, 2011

The 2nd step says that you can “log in to your account or register” so I’m assuming the space will just show up with you log into the latest version of the app.

3. if you can’t wait till then and you already downloaded the app and registered, you’ll automatically be upgraded to 50GB, so just be patient.

From the app store description. For those asking about account term.
“Size matters: Get a FREE 50 GB lifetime account for file storage and sharing through Dec. 2, 2011. To get your automatic upgrade, download the Box app on your iPhone or iPad and register or sign in to your account – it’s that easy. Box provides simple, secure sharing from anywhere – letting you easily store files online, send big files fast, access content on-the-go, and collaborate with others…”

Nice idea to steal every customer away from Dropbox had syncing been included. I’d rather have 2GB of storage and syncing.

Would be nice if announcers think about the fact that this is a world wide offer and we do live in different timezones. “midnight” hardly mean any exact time nowdays.
Guest October 14th, 2011
If you’re signing up expecting Dropbox-like functionality… you’ll be sorely disappointed. They do have synchronization software, which I’m guessing would give you an experience similar to that of Dropbox, but what they forget to mention is that you have to be a PAYING customer to be able to use this software… So that kinda defeats the purpose of having the convenience of cloud storage since the main way to get files on to and off of your “Box” is via the website. Eh… guess we shouldn’t expect a lot for something free… mainly trying to keep some people from wasting their time.
Chris Rutter October 14th, 2011
I don’t get it. Is it “it’s 50 GB in the cloud completely free, forever.” or is it “free 50 GB over the next 50 days”

you would have to actually go to an apple store, download the box.net app on one of the display devices, sign-in to your box.net account and you will get the 50 gb update.
dont forget to go to settings on the display device —> store –> click on apple id, this will sign you out of that device so that nobody can use your itunes account on the display.

Read the promo and realized that it does not start until Friday morning PT. It is now 7:43AM PT, so I assume the promo has now begun. Just installed Box.net on my 3GS. Updated to 50 GB, and showed a dialog box upon first login. If you’re logging in and not getting the 50 GB update, you’re probably not running the newest version of the app. The icon is different now (two-tone cloud and sky vs. the old blue one). Check the App Store and make sure that you update.
Thanks, Box.net. I might just switch from Dropbox now.

I am cool with this not “syncing” like Dropbox. This Box service makes more sense for me, as I want a place to keep stuff OFF my computer. With dropbox, when I put stuff in my dropbox, it fills my laptop drive as well. BOX will be handy for off site storage of files. We will be using BOX for sharing news clips for our new podcast Emergency Broadcast System, as well as for sharing books for review for Paul The Book Guy podcast. With Dropbox, sharing a folder means the recipient needs to add the entire folder to their dropbox, and filling their drive. With BOX, I can share a folder and let my co-hosts pick and choose what they download to their devices.
By this evening I will have BOX on all my iOS devices.

So, you can’t see why a company would choose to develop an app first for the platform with the most paying users and then in time release versions for the platform with less paying users?
You’ve clearly never run a business.
Paul The Book Guy October 14th, 2011
Not true. Very good for file sharing and collaboration. Sync is something they can add later as an OPTION. If sync becomes an automatic feature, I will drop Box much like I dropped drop box.
I can’t believe that last sentence I just wrote, but it’s correct.
Paul The Book Guy October 14th, 2011
Will work for my podcast clips, but might not work for sharing entire episodes (most of our podcasts are encoded in a high quality mp3 format) still, 100mb is decent for free.

It’s a free service and 100MB is 4x the standard free cap.
100MB is big enough for almost any one ordinary file except videos.

Christopher Smith October 16th, 2011
This is really a poor offer and amounts to nothing more than a bait and switch. The 50GB of storage has no value because there is no desktop integration. It’s not worth my time to upload and download files. In fact, this offer has been of great value to Dropbox because I’m more loyal to them now and will gladly pay them more money.
Chris October 16th, 2011
Why doesn’t this personal plan use SSL for file transfers? It seems a little unsafe.

Cory Dolphin October 16th, 2011
It seems to me that @Box is confused about what it’s target market is. If they are trying to get consumers to convert to Box, they need to provide a clear value proposition with the free version of Box, including a desktop sync client that is as seamless as Dropbox’s, which I believe they have already developed. Currently, testing Box, I see a maimed product that is surrounded by numbers… Maximum file size, etc– they ask me to pay to use something other than a (reliable and well thought out) web interface? Dropbox on the other hand, abstracts the concept of a synced folder– it is no different from anything else on your computer, except it is everywhere.
I am waiting for a desktop client, then I will switch to Box, and maybe even pay. I only have 12 GB with dropbox because of a number of Tech Talks they have given. For now I will upload 500 100MB randomly generated, uncompressible files. Just for kicks

Anonymous October 17th, 2011
Not easily. You have to have an EXTREMELY specific line of work to have images that large. Only working between 300-600 dpi on billboard sizes would you ever need to come remotely close to 800mb. Otherwise, you’re using the wrong program.
Caetano Brasil October 17th, 2011
not really “extremely specific”. Anyone working with media publish will easily have files bigger than 100MB.
Photographers too.
Video files too.
100MB is nothing. That’s why I never consider box.net a good alternative. Even with 50GB free.

The type of idiot who doesn’t want the file vision he’s actively working on to overwrite the file he shared with all his colleagues online.
The automatic sync is very usefull for single users who can continue working on the same file from multiple machines & locations, but it’s a liability when you are sharing business documents.
As such it would be usefull if sync would become available as a option on specified folders, but not be default on all.

You want someone to install iTunes and buy an app from the Apple App Store… to install on an Android device. Never mind that the Apple store only sells apps that run on iOS devices.
If you don’t currently own an iPhone or an iPad, the only way to get the 50GB upgrade is to sign in using someone else’s iOS device.

This is a great offer but totally useless as it doesn’t offer what Dropbox / iCloud offer. There is no app integration and no disk syncing as there is with Dropbox. This is the whole reason I use it. Having to log-in and use silly web interfaces is useless to me.
Still….thanks for the 50GB. Maybe I’ll use it when you finally realise users need to sync files.

i like the large file size but when it comes to per-file-size, dropbox has box.net beat by a length. It allows 300mb via the website but there is no per-file-size limit if you use the desktop client. If they two ideas could be combined, we’d be in free cloud storage heaven lol

BoredAsHeck October 22nd, 2011
it won’t add to an existing account. You have to create a new account with a different email address. That’s the downside. On the up and up, you and probably create an indefinite amount of iOS related accounts as long as you have a different email to associate with it. The webOS app is tied to a single email address on a single device. However, iOS app allows the user to log on or off of any number of accounts. And all these accounts are accessible from your computer, thru the web.

Allen Gwinn October 24th, 2011
Well, the “Free 50G” account isn’t exactly the whole story. They give you 50G in maximum-100MB-per-file chunks. If you try to upload a file bigger than that, it pops up advertising as to how you can spend $15 a month and do just that! Dropbox costs $99 a year for 50G and $199 a year for 100G. So you’re better off getting Dropbox–if you’re going to pay something.
But if you have a bunch of 100MB files or less–hey, this is for you!

I love Box.net and the offer, but I am not happy with the upload capabilities. Whevever I bulk upload files (<100mb) it ends up choking up and not uploading at all. Not really dependable as Dropbox has been for me. So far, Dropbox is in the lead in my book when it comes to uploading. However, they haven't beaten the storage size and other features I love such as assigning permissions and restrictions to users that you share files with.

Anyone with a Mac complaining about the lack of a client: you can use WebDAV, and use your box.net account just like a regular hard drive. It’s slowish but no slower than DropBox. I was glad to figure this out a couple of weeks ago.

Hja November 19th, 2011
Sorry, it is way slower than Dropbox. Plus to get all of your files off of Box, you will need to either upgrade real quick or pull off one at a time. No, I am not getting locked into Box.
Marcos November 19th, 2011
Probably because there are better free alternatives…
Marcos November 19th, 2011
I fully agree!
I think they should consider changing the file size limit to 300 MB at least (just like Dropbox WHEN uploading via a web browser).
Frank November 21st, 2011
It’s free and nice to use on a iPhone but..
and that is not complaining – useless on a Mac and OSX
WebDav is read only – upload through WebDav does not work
Sync is not available
Dropbox has less storage but it integrates in the desktop. At least WebDav should work with a mac.

what’s up. I just opened an account with box.net, downloaded the iPhone app and…. nothing. It’s giving me the 5gigs but what got me to try was the 50gigs. I’m within the time frame for the promotion. What else do I need to do?

I think that both these devices are good for use. they both have pros and cons. But speaking generally there is nothing better on the market

Amazing service, ive got the bew app and 50gb. Brilliant stuff!!

50GB is just a Joke.
Reasons:
1: “For Home Users” A Normal Quality video of About 5-10 Minutes will be atleast 250MB.
2: You Can’t Use Sync Application of BOX because its not for free Users.
3: You can’t Get Direct Upload Links. Direct Links are not available for Free Users.
Beside that all Negative Points i think They are still good i don’t know how they afford to provide 50Gb for free. Thats why you should ignore all Negative Points and appreciate their Efforts.

This is the most legit way i know of earning free stuff like iphone 5, xbox, TVs and you dont pay a dollar, not even for shipping: http://www.xpango.com?ref=92487351
