    I prefer Box only because Dropbox only gives you 2GB of free storage before they ask you to pay for more space and Box gives you 10GB of free storage which is a huge difference. I have both because I got Dropbox first but when I started to run out of space my friends told me just to get a Box account instead. Both work exactly the same.

    Both Box and Dropbox are cloud storage clients that help you sync phone and computer files. Both can be set to auto sync any pics or videos that you take on your phone into a "BlackBerry" folder in either client.
    I started using Box initially because they were offering a promo that gave me 50gb of free storage. Also, at the time, they were better integrated in BlackBerry's ui for saving. From what I can tell (haven't been keeping a real close eye on it though) Dropbox seems to have caught up in its integration in BB.
    I primarily use box to give my phone access to files on my computer (mostly work related) so I'm always just a few clicks away from info

    I use both. And I also save Password Keeper onto Box too. U can look articles up that will compare all of the Cloud services.

    Keep your box account. They sometimes gift storage. I started with 5GB, got upgraded to 10 because I bought a BB10 device, and then got upgraded to 50 (don't remember why).

    I guess you meant 10GB

    Yes. But if you want an extra security layer, you can enable two step verification, which works by texting you a code every time you sign in on a new device.

    Now someone has to steal both, your credentials and phone in order to gain access.

    I'm on box mainly due to the 50gb I got through the PlayBook promo.

    Not sure, but to me during initial setup Dropbox seems more like its default is set for syncing or maybe it just seemed that way because the description was hyping that part. Since I don't sync files with the cloud (I store some on Box), I went with Box. I have Dropbox, too, but for now I'm not using it. I only sync files with my computer using BlackBerry's world class Remote Access over Link.

    I would recommend OneDrive, the free service gives you 15 GB, you download the Android app and activate the cammera album and get 3 GB more, giving you 18 GB for free; in my country (and I guess Latin America) you get 1 TB for you and 4 more persons with 5 Office 365 licences for 5 devices (PC included) and 60 minutes of Skype a month to call most countries, all of these for 8 US$ a month.

    OneDrive compresses images leading to quality loss, so that's not a good option if you intend to auto-upload photos.

    Just wanted to let you know that the 3 GB extra storage for turning on the automatic camera backup is now 15 GB in a promotion that's running until the end of the month. See the blog post from Microsoft here: https://blog.onedrive.com/you-can-no...-with-onedrive

    Started a thread here about it to spread the word, be sure to let your friends know! (And mention to *turn off* the feature if they plan on taking any private pics )

    Apparently you can change the image upload quality in the settings from what I've read.
