We did it!

After a late night of pizza, licorice, and yogurt smoothies, Box.net has officially (successfully) moved over to our new datacenter in sunny California.  There were a few minor hiccups along the way, and a couple of known bugs, but for the most part, things should be working great - if not better than at our old datacenter.  A few things to notice from the change:

* Faster download speeds

* Faster site browsing

* Ability to delete a file on the right click menu

* Share folders while you’re INSIDE the folder! (finally)

We’ll have some other smaller updates this week to make the site more fresh and usable.

  2. Congrats on the successful move. Moving data centers definitely sounds like a headache. Admiring the new functionality added to the service. Now how about a virtual drive for users to mount on their desktop ;)
