Done. I did not know that site, but just wondering since I'm from Switzerland, where are the servers located?

They use Amazon S3, I'd be surprised if it weren't location based.

I decided not to go with the obvious joke.  Trouble is that I can't think of another one.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

Okay I made an account just for you even though this sort of thing is anathema to me.

Fortunately it's easy to turn off (it actually launches itself from the Startup folder, how novel).

I don't trust anything that can see all the files on my computer and can upload whatever it wants, whenever it wants.

If you'd host your freak pr0n in a different location, you wouldn't have to worry about anyone else seeing it, Trippy.

At what point can Dropbox upload stuff outside of the Dropbox folder?

Anytime it wants. There's no security in a typical Windows setup that would prevent it from doing so (i.e. there's nothing special/secure about the designated Dropbox folder). You are basically trusting those guys not to root around in your stuff.

Yup, that's why I had to install the Windows portion and then disable it.

Well since I can create an "infinite" number of email accounts I was going to create some more accounts for you but you can't switch accounts once you've installed the program and the uninstall/reinstall procedure is fucked up somehow so it won't let me install it a second time. I'll need to reboot my machine to try it again but it's busy recording crap right now so it'll be awhile before I can try it.

Okay rebooting fixed the reinstall problem but they are doing some sort of check which is preventing my extra accounts from acting as valid referrals so, uh, good luck awesome, for real

This is awesome. I have been needing more dropbox storage (I am a student and I use it for school) and I created an additional account to get you 250 more MB. Here's my referral link:
