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?

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 sigh

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.
