Box.net is a different type of online backup than Mozy or Carbonite. Although you will, of course, be backing up your files online, you can also move them around between folders, rename and edit them online. You can also share your files from their online location in any configuration you choose. You can give access to one folder to one person or group of people, and access to other files to other people, all at your choosing. You can also collaborate with other people in your online space.
