Dropbox

Recommended Posts

There is a fantastic new way to upload your files called Dropbox that I discovered a few months ago that obsoletes major upload sites like mediafire, megaupload, etc.

 

It works like this:

You download and install the 100% FREE Dropbox app and install. A folder is created on your computer that is synced to your account. Any file that is placed in this folder will automatically upload and sync to your online account, so there is no need for logins. Once it has finished uploading, you can simply right-click on the file to get the download link for others. The beauty is that any change or modification to this file will automatically sync with your online account, so there is no need to have to repost new links if you make an edit to the file.

 

The free edition comes with 2 GB of storage by default, but this can be increased for free. You can actually get up to 19 GB of free online storage, the most common way being referrals, which will get you up to 8 GB. How this works is you are given a referral link when you create your account. Every time someone joins Dropbox using your referral link, they are given an extra 250 MB of storage, and so are you, so everybody wins :) .

 

So Download Dropbox now to get a free 2.25 GB of online storage right now. Once I reach my maximum storage for referrals, I will be happy to change this link to someone else's (I'm currently at 6.25 GB).

I used Dropbox for some time now and I reccomend setting it to your entire project folder for backups

 

 

Most definitely. Once I had it, I went placed all my scripts, demos, and projects in it (among other things), and changed all links in my posts for it. Now I don't worry about links going down, etc. My one and only bitch is that there is nothing keeping track of the number of times files were downloaded, though there are talks of adding it to the next version. In fact, you can look through the Dropbox forums, and users can vote on what features they want included in future versions.
