dropbox is a neat little software that let's you sync files from your local harddrive to an online storage, and back to as many PCs as you want. You can access those files from any PC with the client installed and also through a webinterface if you are on another machine.
You can also share files/folders with someone else (give them access with a key sent by email) and you have a public folder where you can upload stuff that anyone can access. There is also a Photos folder, where the webinterface displays them as neat little javscript galleries that you can instantly send to someone.

So, the next time you want to share a screenshot, you could simply move it to your dropbox folder, and link it in the forum within seconds. No imageshack or other crap required.

You'll get 2GB of online storage with a free account but you can choose to upgrade it with a monthly fee. I'm using the free version and I'm pretty happy with it (the 2GB are more than enough to sync my most important uni/work files, so I can always access them)

If you think it feels like I'm advertising for it, then yes, you're right. The reason is, that if someone signs up to dropbox with my referral link https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTQ5MDg4Nzk then me and the one that signs up get an additional 250MB of free storage.

So, I'm asking you, if you're even remotely interested in something like this, try it out using my referal. It's quickly installed and if you decide you don't like it, you can deinstall it just as quickly.
And even if you're not interested, do me the favor and sign up :demm:

edit: Don't use my referral code, I'm already at maximum storage. Use someone else's.

Oh, what I forgot to mention is:
* the client is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
* you can undelete files and recover previous revisions (really usefull :ugly:)
* the whole thing is encrypted
* the speed (upload/download/syncing) is great

Sounds neat, signed up :)

But to view the files you actually have to own an dropbox account? Or can anyone view them?

Normally your files can only be accessed by yourself, but you can setup public folders and give links to the files in there.

Come on guys, it can't be that only 5 of you want 2GB free online storage, but everyone wants some strange comic character to fight in an arena, where you can't even influence the outcome of the fight in any way. :ugly:

Maybe my post was just too long for most to read :demm:

Well, it's not that I don't have an several options to create email addresses myself, but for the account to be active, you need to install the client on a PC and log in. So I'm guessing if I log in to 10 different accounts through the same PC, this would be pretty obvious.

I might actually have a use for this, though I wouldn't rely on it.

Thx guys!

I now have 12 referrals (=5GB total free space), which is the maximum.
So if anyone else is interested in signing up use someone else's referral link.
