I was just about to log into my box.net account (from here in Taiwan) and was presented with the screen below on their home page, that - “Box.net has temporarily disabled free registrations. You can now register for a Basic package for only $10/year!”
I’ve just had a friend in the UK try the same thing and free registrations are still available. Is it possible that the free accounts in the UK are to go next? Can anyone in the US confirm that free accounts are still available over there? It might be time to register for a free 1GB account before they go.

I”ve tried to store 100 GB of my files, music and videos at an online storage provide like Flipdrive and Mediamax. Does it really work during day-to-day usuage? How much does it cost? Can it replace your local harddrive(s)? Check out my report at my blog if you”re interested.
