Boot File Share
We are pleased to offer the BoxCloud service as part of the Bootstrap Open Source initiative.

What is it?
If you have ever struggled to send large file attachments over email, or tried to coordinate around ftp, you know that something as basic as sharing files is much harder than it needs to be...
BoxCloud is a dead-simple way of sharing files with people you know without any uploading or emailing. You simply download a small application and then drag files from your desktop to share them instantly. Once shared, people can then securely access your files over a regular browser using a simple web based interface - they don't need to download or install anything.
You can learn more at the BoxCloud site.
Who is an average user?
Anyone that has ever needed to share or send large files with other people.
How do you generate revenue?
We offer a number of account plans that range from a completely FREE plan (ad-based) to plans ranging between $5/month and $49/month. While the biggest difference across the plans is how much stuff you can share each month, the higher tier plans also offer a few premium features like pickup notifications and personalized branding.
Is there a bootstrapper discount?
Yes. We are making the Basic account plan ($9/month) free for bootstrap members as a special offer. The Basic plan allows you to share up to 25Gb of files each calendar month. In exchange, all we ask is that you tell us what you like/dislike about the service. Simply drop us a line at support@boxcloud.com.
Instructions on how to apply this code are as follows:
- Download the application from http://www.boxcloud.com.
- Launch the application and click "Create New Account"
- Select the Basic plan
- Fill out all the requested information and at the bottom under "Special offers" enter this coupon code: BOOTFILESHARE. Note that you will need to provide a valid credit card even though you will never get charged under this offer.
- Accept the end user agreement and click "Create my account".
If you decide to later upgrade to either the Pro or Premium plans, you can do so from your Account page which is under the Account menu under the BoxCloud application. The regular monthly rates will apply for these plans.
Who is behind BoxCloud?
