Title: dropbox
Post by: delanvital on May 23, 2009, 10:12:55 AM
Following the LastPass thread, both Jabbs and I installed DropBox. Afterwards, I noticed an invite-friend scheme which earns both ppl 256MB more space. It starts a 2GB (the free version) but this friend sceme can get you to 5GB total. Just figured I'd let you guys know - if you want to try this app, then find someone with DropBox already and earn some more space...

I'm also looking at the other uses of dropbox which can be found here (http://wiki.getdropbox.com/TipsAndTricks)

I'm using TrueCrypt to encrypt a 'drive' on my u3 device where I can store passwords etc.

Also dropbox for u3 looks good :)

I use dropbox portable on my usb stick and have a Truecrypt volume in my dropbox folder as well.

At a pinch you could also use it to sync your firefox bookmarks, although with the Xmarks addon  that seems a bit pointless

Just a nudge.

I'd like to increase my storage so If anyone wants to trial this then please let me know and I'll send you a link.

8 people would be ideal and you don't have to use the account should you not want to. :flirty:

Cheers in anticipation

A free-online storage facility which lets you keep 2GB of files etc on the internet where you can access from anywhere.
