Share, Access, and Syndicate Your Files (Without E-Mail)
By Jill Bauerle
News Flash: Your colleague has added an important new audio clip or document to your case file. How do you know? You store your case files securely on Box.net, a new online file storage service that features RSS file sharing. Thanks to your Box.net RSS feed, you see your colleague's audio clip and document right in your preferred RSS-enabled browser or newsreader (e.g., MyYahoo, MyMSN, Firefox, BlogLines, FeedDemon, NewsGator, Safari). Click on the file link in your reader and it downloads to your desktop. An account with Box.net provides you with 1, 2, or 5 Gigabytes of secure online storage, enabling you to share and syndicate documents, photos, presentations, and video and audio clips from any computer or Internet-enabled handheld mobile device. When you share your files or folders, you can either provide public access via a unique RSS feed or shared download Web page. Box.net's mobile interface doesn't require any additional configuration on your phone, BlackBerry, or Treo, so you can easily share files from your Box.net account no matter where you are. To use Box.net for group or project collaboration, you can designate sub-accounts to provide clients and colleagues (group members) with access to the files and folders you designate. As the administrator, you can manage the access and upload privileges for all of your group members. If you have a Web site or blog, Box.net provides buttons and links that clients and colleagues can use to subscribe to your RSS feeds with a single click. Instant intranet and extranet! Box.net is Web-based, so there's no software to download or install. You can start sharing files within minutes thanks to Box.net's user-friendly interface. The price is even friendlier -- as little as $2.99 per month for 1 GB of storage or $8.99 per month for 5GB of storage. Learn more about Box.net.
