On the signup form it says "for friends or co-workers", which implied to me that this is a free account that you could use for personal or business use.

But it's a personal account, NOT a business one. You can certainly gift it to a co-worker, but this isn't a way to get 50GB free on a business account with Box.

So if you were hoping for something cheaper than £11 per person per month to try the business account with a much lower storage capability... i.e. a Bronze price point for small businesses and startups to get started on... well... you're out of luck.

Signed up, but I already have Dropbox for personal stuff so I won't be using this.

Has anyone used Box for personal data? How is the reliability and sync speeds compared to the competition?

I signed up during a 25GB free deal they had a while a go. I use it along side Dropbox and Google Drive and as far as I can tell it's as good as either of those.
