Isn't this kinda missing the point? First of all this was free, but Box is like Dropbox, so it syncs files between computers and you can access them in your phone.

How can I not access a flash drive in my phone? It’s in my hand. I can just plug it in. If I want to access the files from a computer, I plug it into the computer.

That’s my point. “Cloud” storage is completely unnecessary for these storage sizes, as I can just carry my personal data with me.
