Sounds too good to be true... How long will it last before I have to start paying?

PC world reckons the Box account will always be free [1], and Hojoki says that there will always be a free plan [2].

I got 50GB for signing up with my android a while back, and I haven't seen a bill yet.

Box.net runs this type of promotion regularly. I remember, I got 50GB free lifetime (till company survives) account by signing up using their iPad app.

The big limitation is that each file can't have a size larger than 100 megabyte.

Can you only access the 25 GB Box account via the Hoijoki dash or is it just a regular Box account?

Is this like Google Wave? I watched the video in the tour page and I'm still not exactly clear what it is.

After signing up through Hojoki you have a regular Box account with 25GB for free as a starting point.

I just signed up and tried it out with some stuff. It's like a big mashup timeline of all your stuff along with some filters.

So for example I connected my twitter and my github, so if I tweet (or someone tweets @me) it shows up there. Similarly if I commit stuff to github (or presumably if someone on my team commits stuff) it posts the commit message to me.

It's pretty neat, might dig in a bit more later.
