Sign up was easy, straight forward.

The getting started page took a while to load up. The images required over 30 seconds to load (however, I am using a wireless mobile network on a stormy day, so my connection isn’t the fastest).
The page is step-by-step, easy to follow.
Follow the guide
Followed. (it lead to the bottom of the page :o)
Are the steps in the guide clear?
The guide is very well written out, and the instructions are clear and easy to understand.
General Comments:
Signing up to an Amazon Simple Storage Service account had me wondering if it would have been easier to skip your app and use the Amazon account. I had the impression that I would have to pay for both my Amazon S3 account and for the Boxroom account if I opted to advance beyond the Beta account.
I did not want to set up an Amazon S3 account as I am not interested in having one, nor am I willing to provide payment information for something I will not use. Because of this, I am of course not able to set up the Boxroom account.
The service you seem to be providing is simply a program that connects to someones Amazon A3 and simplifies the file sharing options. It is not a separate storage or server system.Â
It is not a program I will use, as it feels like I will have to pay twice (your service and my Amazon account).
