- About Box.net -

Box.net was founded in the summer of 2004, with the following principles in mind: Provide users with a low-cost, easy to use service to keep their important files safe and accessible. A group of Seattle entrepreneurs decided that modern storage devices such as CDs, Zip Disks, USB Drives, and DVDs were burdensome to the average computer user, and that there must be a much easier and more economical way of storing files. Box.net is currently seeking partnership opportunities and relationships with Internet Service Providers, Computer Manufacturers, and Universities.
