Yes, thank you Brian for sharing this info with the class. I have been avoiding signing up for Apple's iCloud since I got my iPad2, but this looks worth trying. Box.com has an app for iPhone/iPad (and I believe Android, also)
One note regarding the app: its description for "Top In-App Purchases" is Personal +25GB $99.99 So I would recommend signing up via Brian's link for the 25GB storage and getting your confirmation before downloading the app. That way, when you open the app, you can just log-in and already have credited the 25GB. I'm uploading 625MB of photos and videos taken with the iPad, as I type this. Wonderful!
