Box Takes Another $125 Million—and Why Not? - Businessweek

As with Dropbox: still tbd if it's a product or a feature
"Things, however, have gotten awfully serious at Box. On Tuesday, the company announced that it has raised a further $125 million—$100 million of which will come from investment firm General Atlantic. How much has Box raised to date? “This brings us to $280 million or so,” Levie says.
Box plays in the crowded field of online storage and file-sharing companies. Ventures such as Dropbox mostly help people sync their files across a bunch of computers and devices, and others like YouSendIt help people transmit really large files across the transom. About 50 other companies perform these tasks and more in variouscombinations."
