For those lucky ones who already got their Nexus 4! I'm still on the waiting list... damn you Google!!!
http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-nexus-4-qualifies-50gb-free-boxnet-cloud-storage
As it's being sold primarily by Google through the Play devices store, it's easy (and accurate) to think of the Nexus 4 as a Google device. But it's still an LG-made phone, and as such qualifies for 50GB of free space on Box.net, thanks to a partnership between manufacturer and cloud storage provider.
To claim your free space, simply log into the Box.net app from your Nexus 4, and upon loading the app for the first time, you should see the message above, informing you that your cloud storage allowance has been upped. And as part of a time-limited deal, Box is also allowing you to share your good fortune with friends or co-workers, giving them access to 50GB too.
The promotion runs until Dec. 31, so you've got plenty of time to bag some extra bits, and free up some of the Nexus 4's precious (and limited) internal storage space. Check the Google Play link above to grab the official Box.net app for Android.

100mb limit
Box.net is separate from drop box right? If so I need to get my hands on a N4 before then so I'll have 50gb from DB and 50gb from box.net lol

Correct, they are completely separate entities.

Good to know. I already have 50GB from webOS so this would make it 100GB.

Yeah I don't think it lets you add it up like that either. I think what you can do is register it to another email address like a separate account. They won't be associated, but you'll have two separate 50GB accounts and technically 100GB of total online cloud storage .

I have 50 gigs too on Box from a previous promotion (I forget what it was) but I was unfortunate to get my hands on a Nexus 4 so I cant get this promotion
...unless someone else would be fortunate enough to do it for me? =)

I don't think that this promotion stacks. Also this promotion was available from long time for all lg android smartphones

Sweet, I hopefully they come back in stock soon...
Am I right in thinking this would expire after a year or two???

The 50 GB doesn't stack, I tried on my account which already had the 50GB upgrade from a previous promo.
Wtf 100 meg limit on uploads? What's the point with all that space. I wish dropbox would come up with this promotion, obviously they dont need to though to be popular.
Downloaded Box for the free space, but the service sucks.
Dropbox all the way!

I've had a Box account for 1 month now. And their free box is 5GB. From Nov 30, 2010 to December 31, 2012 though, a deal between LG and Box will upgrade your storage to 50GB for free!
I already tried it. (I faked my SIM as T-mobile just to be sure though, as the promo did say that it's supposed to be for US folks only. )
Have fun boys and girls!

thanks, it works
it works for me (from SG), but the bad thing about box.net is that theres a file size limit. useful for songs and pics, but not for uploading rom backups
still sticking to dropbox

is it for people who already had a box account or anyone? cause i had one and just had to log in with the app on my OB and a popup said "you have upgraded to 50gb" but my sister who has an SE Arc didn't get any 50gb but she made a new account as she didn't have one earlier. she's stuck at 5gb.
Yeah, currently, it's only active for LG. Sony already has a deal with Box, but Im not sure when their free stuff will take effect.

Thanks. Worked great from Spain, no tricks or fake SIM. So I guess it's international, not just US.
In Poland it works too without any tricks. Just downloaded Box app from Android Market, registered my new account and get free 50GB.
Box.net is kinda crappy on the file size limit (25 MB or 100 MB).
This is why Dropbox > *.

I wasn't sure who I should say something too, but there is a better service for free unlim bw hosting and more space than Dropbox. It's minus.com if you just create a public folder for say each phone or each phone&rom combo and link the folder page it gives unlimited bw, if you just hyperlink straight to the rom then at a certain point it gets throttled, but never turned off or suspended.
Also use my link and get instantly 1GB extra and everyone you refer gives you more space, up to 50GB -> http://min.us/rucQ78U
They have both desktop & Droid programs & all URLs are short.

Box.net is offering free 50GB cloud storage for life if you sign up from your android. DL the app, sign up with a new email address and upon completion it gives you a message that you now have 50Gb. Normally it is only 5Gb so this is a heck of a freebie.
Not sure how long it lasts so go get it.
Please remember to hit the thanks button!

Yes it is this has been out for a loooong time. And there is a 100mb upload limit (ouch!)
I only just heard about it but double checked... this deal has been going on for four days for Android users. Hardly a looong time. Further I did not see it posted anywhere and so thought some folks could actually benefit from knowing.
Oh and since you knew about it for so looong, where is your post letting the rest of us know about it?
But hey, thanks for being a thread-crapping douche rather than a contributing member. I'm sure we all appreciate your involvement.

So, box.net has been offering 50GB to LG users for awhile and the post you reference seems to confirm what i said... that the deal for all Android users has only been live since the 23rd. You will notice that I posted this in a Samsung thread who's users may have missed this posting in an LG thread-I know I did and I even searched for it.
Again though, I was just trying to help people and he was just trying to thread crap. I'm pretty comfortable with calling him a douche for it.
I apologize to anyone else I may have offended with my coarse language.

I was going to say that the 50 GB box account I and a lot of others signed up for last November after we got our Nexus 4's must have been phantoms. There was another thread on this started about 2 weeks ago too as another genius discovered then that he got a free 50 GB box account with the Nexus 4 and thought he would be the first to share it.
Sweet thanks for the free 50GB
Box has had these around since the days I was on a Thunderbolt. I got in on that one because of a quick edit to the build.prop to mimic an LG phone and there's the 50 GB once I signed in. Got another 50 GB with the Nexus 4. That's two accounts, not 100 GB in one.
It workes like a charm! Thanks buddy!
