Good find. Thanks for sharing.

Sweet love Dropbox, going to check this out!

After this? Thanks but no thanks.

I can understand bugs, but that was pretty embarrassing.

My, that is bad. I would think they have addressed that. Anyway. I still use it.

after megaupload and this http://www.geek.com/articles/news/backif...th-it-20111116/
i will never touch online data storage.

Yea, The last thing I will ever do is put important files into a cloud-storage. I am fine with using dropbox to sync files between computers but not for storage.

I use Dropbox for non sensitive stuff usually just for flight sim docs on my iphone and some random non critical stuff I share between friends and family. I would never put anything sensitive online, at least not yet.

EDIT: and you should always have a back-up of a back-up, redundancy is key!

Can anyone confirm they received the extra storage and most importantly how they did it? In that article it talks of the new feature/bonus in a beta version of their software. It also mentions that you upload to dropbox directly when you plug in your camera or phone. I don't see how it works but want to give it try and get my extra space.

Can someone help me with this?

Would really like to know if any of you got this to work.

Interesting, unfortunately my internet is a bit too slow to try it out here. Uploading those required 500mb of photos would take quite a while with only 0.53 mbps upload speed

I find Dropbox very useful tool, though. I use it to back up my masters thesis (which is also backed up on an external HDD) and to exchange large files such with friends and family.
