Box.net
“Box.net (Box.net)”:http://box.net/ was founded in the fall of 2004 and launched in 2005 with the purpose of providing users with a low-cost, easy to use online storage solution.
In a series of surveys of randomly selected consumers, we
found that a shockingly low number of people rated storing, sharing, and retrieving data as “fun,” “exhilarating,” or even “easy and kind of nice to do.” “Box.net (Box.net)”:http://box.net/ hopes to change all that.
Box.net currently has 4,000 paying subscribers, and is
about to relaunch its premium service with both free and pay options. Box.net is funded by angel investors consisting of a group of Seattle businessmen and Mark Cuban.
