This page looks very much like an advertisement to me

it reads like something straight out of prwire.

a researched article should include a discussion of whether they encrypt user's files, for example, and what privace issues exist. see the facebook article in wikipedia for such discussions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markgalassi (talkcontribs) 15:06, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Just one line caught my attention for a change: "For a detailed comparison, check their pricing plan" sounds like something straight out of an advertisement. Should this be relegated to a footnote?

Apologies if I put this comment in the wrong place or otherwise structured it wrongly - I don't comment on Wikipedia articles often... 78.45.1.3 (talk) 13:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Should the advertisement tag be removed?

A long while back I added the "sounds like an advertisement" tag, however I now feel it is suitable to remove this (and this article has survived an AfD nomination), but I'd like to here some other opinions first. --J. Atkins (talk | contribs) 09:48, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Yea, I removed it. There is nothing there that looks like an advertisement anymore.UKWikiGuy (talk) 18:10, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
For me this sounds still like an advertisment. The style is not of an encyclopedia! --Sputnik(.de) (talk) 06:40, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Seems that Box.net doesn't offer free account anymore

As seen on this link: http://box.net/info/pro/pricing-plans Box.net is now a completely paid service. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.106.177.119 (talk) 05:49, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it's been changed or something, but I can see the 'Lite' plan is completely free for 1 GiB. --J. Atkins (talk | contribs) 10:22, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, they changed it back! Perhaps a premature changed of page? There could be plans... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.5.108.195 (talk) 05:51, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

I'm not seeing the Lite option offered right now. --74.131.50.152 (talk) 10:56, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

The lite plan is only shown if you clear the Box.net cookie. Its added as a marketing tool to hide the free option to certain users. You can all sign up for free here: http://www.box.net/signup/invitation/1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.153.246 (talk) 21:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

How does it make money?

It's a business. This should be in the article since it's not implicit. --68.161.169.82 (talk) 08:06, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

I actually agree with that. It's kind of a giant ad.Synergee (talk) 18:09, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
