The combination of the recent free space offer from Box.NET and the ability to map a drive from Windows Explorer to copy files to Box.NET means that I can now copy files easily from my computer to the cloud (Internet) and to my iPod Touch.
The primary restriction for the 50GB storage offer from Box.NET is the per file size limit. According to Lifehacker, the limit for this offer “increased file size upload limit of 100MB instead of 25MB.” As a student whose interest is to have some work files on my iPod Touch and have it being offline, this works very well. (You can also achieve similar results with Dropbox and its iOS app, but the free space for Dropbox is 5GB.)
One you have files on Box.NET, you can use its iOS app to save it for offline viewing on your iPod Touch. Note that to get the 50GB storage, you need to sign in using the Box.NET iOS app before December 2, 2011.
The instructions for creating the network drive on your Windows machine (and this should work for Linux and Apple computers with modified instructions) can be found here: How To Upload Files To The Awesome Box.Net Directly from Windows Explorer. (The network location is https://www.box.net/dav.)
