Dropbox that a friend sent me a link for, so I could send him some imaging. When you use my referral link, I get 250MB more added to the free 2GB. Then you get 250MB free and for every new person you get, it's another 250GB up to 8GB total, free, cloud web storage. I think that's pretty cool for transfering files or saving some utility information that can be accessed from anywhere in the world?

Model and property releases would be a nice start? But you have a private and a public folder, so instead of attaching big files or using ftp, you can send directly with a link. So far I'm impressed.

Here's my link which will give me the 250MB bonus. When I hit the Max. I'll remove the link so others can pass it on down.

It involves downloading the software and installing it, and there's tutorial. That's it. Help files are created when you make the first folder.

Thanks!

The nice thing about DropBox is you can sync it easily between computers and it shows up as a regular folder on your hard drive.  They also have an iPad and iPhone app which work nicely.  I'm a big fan of Dropbox.

Since I have my own website and pay for hosting anyway, I use a folder on my own site to transfer files to clients. So, in essence, it's free for me.

I did have a client send me some files using Dropbox and thought it was a great idea. Would use it if I didn't have my own site.

Thanks Pete for the link, I used your referral. I just installed it on my Mac laptop (so easy, simple interface and instructions) and both you and I got the free extra 250 MB storage. It installed like a charm and I like the feature where you can send a link to someone who doesn't have dropbox installed so they can get files. I'm going to use it to send files back and forth from home to work. I'm going to send my referral link to a few friends who might find this useful. I'm also going to put the dropbox app on my ipod touch. Very cool!

This is pretty cool. I can even access it from my iPhone and iPad!

Thanks I'm half way to removing the link. 

Dropbox is REALLY awesome (I'm at max free storage and not looking for referrals so I'm recommending it because it's AMAZING!)

I use it to run my biz - when I want to quickly show someone something, when I want to have my associate photographers send me edited images or I want to send them images for their blogs after I'm done a wedding.  I use it with my mom to push her files she needs, I use it with realtors so I can tell when they've sent me files to edit for their listings.  I LOVE Dropbox!!

Well, they all (and that goes for ISPs too) assume "normal" use. If people start to implement public virtual disks, anonymous FTP and mini-rapidshares on a shared server account, or worse, sell web space on a hatchling account, it's obvious this is improper use. HG has solutions for this but they will cost more.
(BTW thanks for the 7.5$ when closing pixamba-stock; this was more than fair).

Thanks

My main idea of use since I have multiple websites and storage is easy access for document attachments instead of trying to attach them to an email. Say for instance I need to distribute the same set of results (many pages of PDF) to a group of people. I can put it up for download and rather than have people stuck with that attached to the email forever, they can have the small note for confirmation, and the big file available for a few weeks for download/view should they want a copy.

A bunch of the legacy free storage is back from the days of dial-up. Pretty funny because that's 15MB per old SBC account. Hardly useful for photos now. Anyone remember the Mavica? I could get 22, 640x480 files on a floppy.  Now one image would be two to three times larger than that.

Good for football season. Say? Does anyone here want to get into a fantasy football league? I ran some in the past but people would join and drop, which make it less fun. Even less fun was people that didn't update for weeks, who still beat me! 

If I remember, that may be an entertaining diversion from thinking photo and downloads all day. Of course the prizes for the winners may be a little more difficult that the collectible sites, where we could mail some small token to the winners. That brings up another exchange project. Hmm, two in one night, I'd better get back to Cafe World and photo editing. 

Race,

All I need to do to give you more 250GB is to sign up?

One problem with such sites is that some companies, like mine, block them.

Thanks Pete !!  very handy

When you've got your full allocation (8GB) maybe peeps could use my link !?

That was one useful post! I enjoy my Dropbox a lot with a couple of collaborators. We are in different time zones and it's a great way to synchronize common files. No fiddling any more with FTP accounts. Thanks a lot!

I've got it Anna....here's my link
