Box isn't as well known as Dropbox, SkyDrive, GoogleDrive and iCloud, but they do have cross-platform apps (including Windows, OS X, iOS, Android and Blackberry), and they tend to be generous with the amount of storage space, giving away up to 50GB if you catch their promotions.
The only problem is their folder upload system isn't the simple additional folder system employed by Dropbox, GoogleDrive or SkyDrive. It is an icon that opens in the top menu bar (on OS X) and allows you to upload one file at a time to the service.
This as you can imagine is tedious. However, if you have 50GB of free space and want to make proper use of it you can do so online.
Simply log in, select the File tab from the menu bar, then click the little arrow next to the upload button and select "Bulk Upload".
After accepting an applet, you'll be presented with the "Drag and Drop" box. Click "Add files" and then choose whichever folders and files you wish to upload.
I'd recommend Box currently as an archive backup, rather than a live storage system like the others I list at the beginning of this post because it can be time consuming to arrange folders and files. But if the apps are updated and developed then this might change in future.
