Box.net offers a 1GB free storage space , with a decent web 2.0 interface to store the data.It allows us to create folders ,upload files to the folder of your wish ,share files etc.,So lets start using it to store your favourite E-Books,Photos,Resume etc.

Hold on : I tried to sign up for an account from a machine in India.It said Registration is now closed off.So I used one of my US machine to register to the site.

Box.net can be accessed from the mobile at m.box.net.Here it lets navigate through the files,view the files(if your mobile has the needed stuff) and share the files
