(ARA) - Before Steve and Jennie Smith moved across the country, they gave Jennie's mother a computer and set up an e-mail account for weekly updates. After the couple had their first child, Jennie's mother enjoyed receiving photos and recent stories of her new granddaughter.
When the e-mails became more frequent and the photo attachments grew substantially, Grandma's e-mail account couldn't handle the large file sizes. One day, without warning, Steve and Jennie's home computer crashed and they lost many irreplaceable digital photos of their baby girl.
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) recently discovered that only 22 percent of consumers back up files on their computers. With all the photos, music and documents you store on your home computer, what would happen if you were in Steve and Jennie's shoes?
With a service like Box.net, you don't need to worry about storing and sharing your files. Box is an online storage and collaboration service that gives you access to your files anytime, anywhere.
