Please help me get a bigger Dropbox

[Ermz]

Hey guys,

I doubt many of you recall but I'm one of the guys who brought word of Dropbox to this forum a while back.

Since then it's remained an amazing file sharing service. So much so that I use it for uploading mix previews, final mixes, masters etc. etc. I essentially favor it over my FTP server for professional work!

Anyway, if you guys have the time, and/or are kind enough I would greatly appreciate it if you would sign yourselves, or get some friends to sign up for Dropbox using this link: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTI4NTY4OTk

Anssi tried to get a similar thing going in the Guitar Tone Comp 3 thread so the guys involved in the organization could get some pay-off, but unfortunately nobody has bitten yet.

Every time someone does it I get an additional 250mb storage added, which I could dearly use at the moment, and would greatly appreciate.

Thanks so much.

Done. Guess I'll figure out what to do with it later.

 

[Ermz]

Thanks a bunch mate!

It's quite useful, I'm sure you'll find some depraved thing or other to fill it up with

 

[Chris_P_Critter]

Done - Had been meaning to do this anyway. Glad it helps you out.

 

[DanLights]

I don't get it, I can only do that if I don't have an account already right?

Done. Also wanted to do it for some time. Glad if it helps

 

[Chris_P_Critter]

Just so you know, since I accepter Ermz' referral, I ALSO got an extra 250mb of space.

So if you were not thinking of doing this, you really should because it benefits you as well as Ermz.

+1

50gb crushes 3gb

 

[drew_drummer]

Aye, and it's fairly cheap I'd say. 99 bux for a year? Steal.

 

[Ermz]

You guys rock, thank you so much!

I don't actually need 50gb. As long as I have enough to upload an entire record to Plec in stems, alongside keeping a few odds and ends on there, I'm happy. The FTP server has a ton of storage, but Dropbox is just way more convenient for this kinda stuff.

+1, not to mention the FTP should be faster for upload/dl than dropbox - mine definitely is, at least.

 

[Ermz]

Wait, I can't work out whether you're actually agreeing or not, Jeff

Do you mean your FTP is faster, or Dropbox is?

I haven't actually tested mine... I just dont want to go into FireFTP, connect, find the folder, upload, hunt my damn control panel for the public link then etc. etc.

Dropbox: Select file > Put file into folder > Right click to get URL > Post to person

I'm saying dropbox is more convenient for quick mixes and stuff, but the FTP is better for large stuff and permanent stuff.

You should look into FileZilla or something - I literally just drag/drop from my desktop onto an FTP bookmark, and then right click/copy public link.

 

[DarkTom666]

Done

 

[Ermz]

Thanks a heap!

 

[drew_drummer]

I use Dropbox for everything these days. It's killer.

 

[SavageDoom]

Done.

could one say 'beat the system' and create multiple email accounts and create unused accounts on dropbox to therefore get free unlimited space? haven't tried it just a thought that popped in my head

 

[MEGA DAVE]

and btw I used your link, got me free 250mb with my existing account
