When I got my HP TouchPad during the fire sale I got the free 50GB Box account, and this is exactly why I didn't switch. I keep various ISOs and DMGs in dropbox. What is the reason for this file size limit?
To incent you to upgrade to the paid version?
My first thought: I see no reason not to switch over from dropbox, it should take me about 10 minutes to switch. I could even run both at the same time for redundancy. My second thought: from an investing perspective the danger in this space is the easy commoditization. This will lead to high competition and low profits, with hopefully some differentiation on quality (especially dependability).
First thing I did was check for local syncing abilities on the various platforms: no luck on the Linux front, although they seem to offer WebDAV access — a far cry from a syncing solution such as Dropbox or AeroFS.

Box.net has a 250MB file size limit for free accounts. Dropbox does not have any limits, AFAIK.

Thats a lot of GB. Several times more than my free Dropbox + Google Drive. So where is the catch ? There has to be one .
Max file size is 250 megabyte.

The bandwidth limitation refers specifically to your usage of shared links in a given month. Once you reach 10GB you can no longer download via shared links until the next month
