Well, found a great amazing useful use for Dropbox. Screenshots while I'm playing. http://www.getdropbox.com/gallery/39720/1/screenshots?h=81384cI'll use that to keep a gaming diary of what I'm playing. FRAPS is set up so I just pick the folder before I start playing and it'll autopopulate as I play. Spiffy. I like doing things like 'removing drag and drop from list of things I need to do.' Uploading in the background while I play is spiffy also. |

That's if you have the upload bandwidth to handle that without screwing up your ping.

Images aren't that big, and DropBox throttles itself automatically (currently to 70% bandwidth capacity, soon to be configurable). ( link) |

Oh good, it is configurable. I was about to worry about its usefulness because of the forced location.
|
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Two invites left if anyone still needs one. Once again, PM me.
Photek, yours is on the way. I missed the request because you did not follow the rules and PM me. But you got one anyway... because I'm that nice.

Btw, what's the capacity on this new toy? Also, how are folks feeling about the services security?

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

2GB. Security seems decent but I don't know enough about security to really say even that.
Will probably go up in size for beta users as competitors offer bigger boxes than that at the base level. I'd expect it to be at least 5GB at launch for beta users. My real question is of bandwidth concerns.

I wouldn't store anything sensitive on it, personally, if only because everything in it gets replicated across every machine.

Uploading to dropbox. Also, gifs don't animate when you click 'em.

If you're uploading at 20KB/s, then that's 70% of your connection speed. Unless your ISP is throttling you.  Uploading to dropbox. Also, gifs don't animate when you click 'em. Direct link to them in your public folder. |

Ah, had stuff in my photo folder. Too bad the public folder isn't browsable like the photo folder. Need both functionalities in the same folder imo.  |

Throttled to fuck and always complaining about it. Switched to the public cable modem (with a few dozen patrons using it) and getting about 200KB/s up. |

Hmm, m'kay, looks pretty spiffy. I appreciate the theory, though the viability of the thing as a money-making venture seems a bit .com bubble-ish to me. Anyhow, if someone has an invite handy, please drop it on me.

Hopefully they add 'copy public link' support for the individual photos too, have to move them to Public to get a single image URL.  |
