Go get it!

**TBolt** · 05-04-2010, 10:22 PM

Link?

And, what's dropbox?

Thank you.

Official Dropbox app is in the Market.

If you don't use Dropbox it's probably not of interest LOL.

Topic should have been in apps forum but I goofed ;-)

I'm new to Android - that's why I've never heard of it.

Just found the article, though: http://www.androidcentral.com/androi...p-dropbox-beta

Thanks.

This might seem a LITTLE self-serving, but I'm also doing this for all of you.

If I "refer" you, both of us get an extra 250MB of space. So if you plan on signing up and you want 2.25gigs instead of 2gigs, click here:

Again, you don't have to, and I wouldn't post it if it only helped me... but this will actually help everyone who uses it... and I would suggest being referred to the site over just signing up.

Edit: for those who aren't sure what Dropbox is, let me explain it - because this is the #1 reason I switched from a blackberry to the incredible. Dropbox enables you to have a single "folder" on your desktop, for instance, that synch's with the dropbox website. Your phone can then access the website and retrieve all of the files. If you update a file on your phone, it pushes the update online, and your computer will update accordingly with the newer file. If you update a file on your computer, the dropbox website updates with the newer file... and you can then retrieve that file with your Android smartphone. It also has a "shared" folder that you can share with friends. Def worth a try!

Cheers

If anyone else is looking to join, here is another referral.

Dropbox is a very slick cloud app. I use SkyDrive for big backups due to the free space MS offers, but I use Dropbox for everything else. It is very handy to move files around and very easy to use for posting to the web (easy url creation).

This and the Mint App are two very big reasons I switched to Android.

TheWalrus I signed up under your referral link. I got 2.3GB Thanks for the heads up! I would suggest anyone wanting to try it to give the referral a try!

And now here is my referral link:

And now here is my referral link:

No problem! I just wish I had been referred by someone

that's the main reason I included a referral link. It's worth clicking even a strangers referral for 250MB! :o

If anyone wants extra space before signing up, try this out:

Costs nothing and you get 250MB for freeeeeeee!

**sectachrome** · 05-05-2010, 01:40 AM

Its nice, but I wish you could choose where you wanted it to sync the files. It automatically puts them on the SD card.

It's only the very first version so maybe in a future update

**Android_Lee** · 05-05-2010, 09:54 AM

You can also post the referral as a staus on our Facebook page. Thanks to my friends who signed up and gave me a total of 10 gigs of free storage.

**Qazme** · 05-05-2010, 10:02 AM

Holy wow, 10GB through referrals?! That's cool, thanks to whomever signed up under my referral I got 2.5GB now

Thanks!

**mr.s4ndm4n** · 05-05-2010, 10:03 AM

If anyone wants to help me get alil more storage, as well as some for yourself!

**chdtpn** · 05-05-2010, 11:19 AM

LOL I like how this thread turned into a "use my referral link" haha.

You get 2GB of storage space for free or 2.25GB if you use a referral link like mine:

Thanks for recommending Dropbox. I know this will come in handy for myself and many others.

I used someone's link. Here is another in case the previous links get tapped out:

Thanks again!

The Android intro tutorial lists one interesting feature:

Launch your phone’s built-in camera
while running Dropbox and your
photos and videos will upload to your
Dropbox instantly. When you use this
feature together with Dropbox shared
folders, these files are synced to your
friends’ and family’s computers
instantly!

I expect this is going to be many people's most popular use of Dropbox.
