Box.net Increases Free File Storage to 5 GB

Back in April I wrote an overview on online file storage services that work with smartphones. I’ve been recommending Dropbox primarily because it provides 2 GB of free file storage, which has been the most you can get for free. Box.net is causing me to have to change that recommendation if the choice is based purely on the amount of free file storage and the existence of smartphone apps because they have increased their free storage from 1 GB to 5 GB.
