Boxopus born a few weeks ago, a tool to download torrents directly to your Dropbox I had all to be a success because of the sync option and having the torrents available for download from any place where you are. Work, school, home of the mother, not going to stop downloading torrents ever. For this reason is that Dropbox became concerned, as the torrents are strongly associated with piracy and this is not nice for a company that is very successful without relying on anyone. So the dream ended, but we could not tell you about this great idea censored by fear.

Dropbox is a great help for those who want our files by hand all the time, and also for those who rely on this service as an aid when backing up. Through its API, applications, websites and other services have made Dropbox universal storage system in a context where the alternatives are many and there are some that I look better. But its expansion has come so that people of Boxopus had a great idea and decided to launch an application that allowed namesake torrents direct to your Dropbox, bringing together two worlds that we love. In short, Boxopus was a new service that let you download torrents synchronize based on a strange and unmediated Dropbox without compromising the integrity of your account.

Making an intelligent use Dropbox API, users would be able to add BitTorrent torrent files anonymously and without the need for a BitTorrent client installed on your computer (great for when you're at work and want to advance a little downloads). The good thing is that basically all you had to do is click comenzasen files for synchronization with the cloud and your Dropbox folder, which would be converted into a true hub of content downloaded you can use anywhere and building width foreign band, cough cough. But why use the past tense? Because Dropbox was in his pants, basically. Is that in view of what this web service offered, the company decided to ban or prohibit Boxopus. The reason is the piracy which are associated with the torrents because Dropbox wants nothing to do with itDropbox says: "We noticed that Boxopus characteristics may be perceived as an incentive for users to violate copyright using Dropbox. Copyright infringement is against our terms of service, so cancel access to the API. Once the access is revoked, any request to the API to generate the application will fail"



A pity! For the comfort knowing that he was almost assured, security was a factor in the use of Boxopus, that by using the Dropbox API, this had no access to other files in your Dropbox account. The idea was launched and several torrent sites had already discussed his interest in integrating alternative Boxopus download your torrents, but the dream was short with Dropbox in fear at the prospect of being pointed the finger of the RIAA and other economic interest groups that are behind everything that has whiff of piracy, though to the rest of us is more of a scent of freedom of action.
