Get a 10GB Box Account + #BoxSync FREE on Your iPhone or iPad

By

If you already have a shiny new iPhone 5 in your hands, you’ve probably started installing your favorite apps – and discovering new ones, too. Even if you haven’t received your new iPhone 5 (we sympathize) or decided not to upgrade just yet, we have a new offer this week we think you’re going to love.

For the next month, we’re giving away a 10GB account and Box Sync completely free to anyone with an iOS device. Whether you have an iPhone 5, iPad or older iPhone, you’ll be eligible for this promotion. More awesomeness: Both new and existing Box users can take advantage of this offer! We think this will go a long way in giving you an easy, simple and secure way to share and sync your most important files. Now all your critical content will be right at your fingertips, no matter where you are. 

How to Claim Your 10GB Plus Box Sync

1. Visit the App Store and download Box for iPhone or iPad – as long as you use one of these devices, you’ll get the offer! If you already have our iOS app, you can simply log in to claim your 10GB account and Box Sync

2. Log into your account or create a new one right in the app

3. You’ll get a 10GB account right away, and Box Sync will be activated in your account within 48 hours

3. Once you get your activation email, start sharing and syncing your content to your heart’s content

4. Tell your friends, coworkers and family members about this offer with the hashtag #BoxSync

Remember, the 10GB account and Box Sync are yours for life, so you’ll never have to worry about your content being out of reach ever again. This update also makes our app completely compatible with iOS 6. Now you can share and manage your content using the big, beautiful display on the iPhone 5.

Not on iOS, or not a mobile user? Not to worry – you can still sign up for the Box Sync waitlist and we’ll activate Box Sync in your account as soon as we can. This offer ends on December 31, 2012 at 11:59pm, PST, so download the app today. Don’t miss out on getting 10GB and Box Sync free for life!

Jim McDermott September 26th, 2012

Login with the iPhone app. It’ll add the other 5GB

cadkins September 26th, 2012

Still not showing up, I did this yesterday and again today.

Mark Saldana September 26th, 2012

Hey Cadkins,

If you already have 10GB or more, you won’t receive more space, unfortunately. You can, hoever, get sync through this offer if you don’t already have it. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Mark Saldana September 26th, 2012

Hi Tony,

How much space do you have now? If you already have 10GB or more, you wont get more space through this offer. Apologies for any confusion!

Mark Saldana September 26th, 2012

Still nothing? Please contact our team here: https://support.box.com/home

They’ll get on it asap.

Mark Saldana September 26th, 2012

Hi Cadkins,

Please see my reply above.

cadkins September 26th, 2012

Joshua Lollar September 28th, 2012

I have the 50gig from being an early adopter, so I know I wont get a boost in storage. But I have not gotten my Box Sync enabled after logging into my iphone with the App. :(

Tim Harris September 28th, 2012

Log out of your Box account and then log back into it on your iOS device and you should see the bump from 5GB to 10GB

pmatsuda October 1st, 2012

Logged in and out of the iPhone app a few days ago. Is there something that I have to do to enable BoxSync? Thanks

AnneElisabeth Moutet October 1st, 2012

Looks lovely but when I click on the page it tells me you’re only giving away 5gb….

AnneElisabeth Moutet October 1st, 2012

pmatsuda October 1st, 2012

Justin October 23rd, 2012

Hi,how can I know if my Box Sync is activated after 48 hours?

Benjamin Munk October 26th, 2012

Login a couple of times on your PC first, then your iPhone. That’s what it took for me to get it working. Hope this helps.

Neil Feldscher October 30th, 2012

If I am downgrading from a paid account (25 GB) and my downgrade doesn’t take affect until November 1 can I still get the offer?

tahenry October 30th, 2012

I signed in and still no 10 extra gigs. Any help will be appreciated.

Frank November 1st, 2012

By Log-Out, do you mean unlink dropbox on this [device?] I do not see a way to log-out–only to unlink.

Alexis Andrews November 2nd, 2012

you have to log in on your computer and install the boxsync app…that is how i got mine…i think we should still get the extra 10 gb tho…since we are the best for being with them for this long..hehe

Louis November 5th, 2012

There is still no App. for “Android” is it?

Eslysama Nim Kessó November 9th, 2012

Really??!!! Oh God why ; o;

mromar@mail.com November 10th, 2012

How long does it take to get the 10GB added? I downloaded the app and logged in and it still says only 25.0GB

Jolly Rogger Z December 14th, 2012

Francisco, they gave away 50 GB accounts, thats when I first created a box account and I have been using it every day ever since.I love Box.net :)

dannyg December 28th, 2012

I signed up but because of the offer on your web site but the account only has 5gb ?

dannyg December 28th, 2012

Stephanie Ong December 29th, 2012

Liesse Ivan (thuis) December 30th, 2012

Bad to say it doesn’t work. I logged in on my 50 gb account (promo) and still no sync (or email). Tried it also with an other mailadres (new account) and that worked in 5 minutes.

ThatWeirdo January 1st, 2013

I created my account 2 hours before the offer ended an did not get the extra space, can you do anything to fix it?

Brenda January 2nd, 2013

Downloaded the app on january 1st and reloaded it today wondering why i only recieved 5 gb storage. I find it misleading the promotion is still offered in the AppStore while in fact it ended two days ago. Shame i missed out

Brenda--- January 2nd, 2013

Downloaded the app on januari 1st, did it again today wondering why in only recieved 5 gb storage. I find it misleading the AppStore still offers the promotion when in fact it ended 2 days ago. Shame i missed out.
