A Great Deal

10GB Online Storage FREE!

BOX  it is. box.com

Clients for Mac and Windows are available on the site... with no actual Linux support which in my opinion is unnecessary anyway as your account can be mounted through Nautilus with the addition of davfs. To install this dependancy simply open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) then enter the following code:

sudo apt-get install davfs

enter your password when prompted, then open files and from the file menu drop-down select connect to server

Enter the following address for server location


Next a popup will ask for username and password, enter your credentials you used when you created the box account and click connect. Your remote 10GB storage device is now accessible to your Ubuntu computer with no need to utilize the web browser as an interface and no extra software to slow things down. Simple and effective.

This entire procedure can be repeated on multiple computers so that your remote drive is available on any one of the computers you may be using at any particular time.
