Dropbox - google Drive Killer

Anyone heard of it? I signed up for the beta, looks really neat. From what I hear it should be really good.

[SC-Daniel]

Hmmm that is interesting! I am going to go signup for the BETA as well and see how it works!

very similar except color if you ask me
yes, the flaps are a little different, but, that is easy to change in illustrator as a vector. take two corners, and drag. just found this a little suspicious.

[jmiller]

I use it religiously. It's so awesome being able to version all my files across multiple computers so easily.
Corazu, toss me an email address and I'll invite you.

MCT, they're different. Look carefully at the flaps and you'll see.

read previous statement

also, just pointing out the similarity there. seems a little to close, adn it would be really easy to change if they purchased the vector. ;)

**EDIT**
not saying they didnt make it, just seems a little suspicious to me. either way, dont really care, just found a little funny in my own mind. :D

Whenever I have to transfer something between different pc's, I use an USB stick, much safer, faster and no bandwith :-)

[Joe_G]

I signed up for the beta. Looks interesting. Thanks for the link.

[Dean]

That would make my life sooo much easier. Can anyone chuck me an invite?

[Corazu]

Once I get mine I'll send you one..if I have the ability.

jmiller might also..dunno how he's able to.

[jmiller]

Email addresses please.

EDIT: Sent one to you, Dean.

[Matt8]

I have been using this, and for the simple ability to upload public linkable pics to the web so quick, this program/site is AMAZING. Thanks again jmiller.

I assume I can also invite people, just PM me an email and I will get on that if anyone is interested.

[Corazu]

Thanks again jmiller! Assuming I can also do invites, send me a PM with an email and I will send some out as well.

[jmiller]

Thanks again jmiller! Assuming I can also do invites, send me a PM with an email and I will send some out as well.All you do is invite people a shared folder. I don't know how many invites you have, though rumour has it that it's 4. Not sure though.

[Corazu]

Well you've used 3...so after 1 more we'll see won't we?

If you have any more you want to invite and can't, let me know, I'll try if I can.

Looks like they're going to spread this virally like gmail did...like an exclusive club type thing, until most people have it.

[Matt8]

Good news beta holders:


I should rephrase. The ETA for launch is 2-3 months. As for people with beta accounts; you will be able to keep your existing accounts once we launch (ie if you currently have a 5gb account, you will continue to have a 5gb account after launch). So, no, you won't lose any files. Hope this cleared the confusion. Sorry for being unclear.

Daniel, I noticed your post, and I would really appreciate an invite. Ive been searching the Internet for a few weeks now trying to get an invite.

I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Brandon

[Patrick]

patrick[at]p1networks(dot)net

Would be extremely grateful if somebody could send an invite my way. :)

[Corazu]

FYI: Most of us now have no invitations left, we're keeping a list in our FWS folder that jmiller created, once you've been invited let him know so he can invite you to that folder, it would be appreciated if you then invited some people from the list to give them a chance as well.

[Joe_G]

Many thanks to Tree for the invite :D

[jmiller]

Those of you who are already on DropBox and want to get in on the FWS share, PM me.

[Tree]

paymentls@* - Invited by Tree - 3/30/08

Tree..how did you get 5?
Not sure, I just invited people to a folder. I haven't seen any sort of invite limit or anything.

[Corazu]

Must have already been registered by the time you got to them then...there's a 4 invite limit for users who aren't already registered..unless they raised it.

[slasktrat]

Dropbox is JUST what i have been looking for! And i will be forever grateful if someone can give me an invite. I also promises to use my invites to others on this forum if i get invited. =)

-Daniel

[Ben]

Sent Ben..

Thanks!

[loltown]

Anyone have invites left? I've been looking all over and have had no luck so far. If anyone could send one my one I'd gladly join the FWS invite tree.

[LSComputers]

Im sorry, I am currently maxed out.. lol, but umm I think we should stop sharing with 1 post people personally...

Your the second person with to request with only 1 post.. Lets give these to member who have been commited to the community.

Only fair..

I understand where your coming from, but I thought we had an invite tree going? I wasn't planning on taking the invite and ditching the community that was generous enough to send it. I can assure you I'll send invites to people in this thread.

[Corazu]

I was thinking the same thing.

Minimum post count of like 20-50..honestly I only want them going to people who are part of the community..not those who joined just for the invites after seeing it on google.

[Dean]

True that!

[Ben]

They just got TOLD

[jmiller]

They just got TOLDOh, snap!

[Ben]

Oh, snap!

lol: i just sent you an invite. (check your spam folder also, mine ended there)

I'm one of those 1 post person that got invited, and I really agree that the most fair thing is to invite those who have contributed more to this forum, but if all that gets invited through this forum at least invites anotherone through this forum it should be plenty for both newcomers and old-boys.. :)

Thanks! I went back through the thread and looked to see if anyone still needed an invite, looks like everyone who asked is in or has an invite pending, please post if you need one still.

[mike84]

Hey Mike,

-Daniel

Hey thanks yeh i received two, not sure who from but thanks to both of you. If anybody still hasn't got one give me a PM with ur email, i've only got two invites left though

[slasktrat]

If you received two you can give the beta code (which is after http://getdropbox.com/invite?k= in the url) and give it to someone who needs it. It doesn't need to be registered on the email it was sent to. =)

[0rion]

Hi - I'm hoping for an invite...I'll share any invites I get here as well!

ll0rionll <at> gmail

Many thanks!

[Kwek]

If it is possible, could I please have an invite?

[jheas]

Hello - If anyone has an extra one to send my way - please do. I'll make sure to pay it forward!

jasonheas[at]gmail (dot) com

[HBCRE]

Ditto on the invite if anyone has an extra! I've been searching for one and will be sure to share as well.

evan.e.jones<at>gmail.com

Thanks.

[HBCRE]

and actually, yeah, i do agree with the whole contributing member bit. however, should anyone choose to take pity on me if other member requests are pending, i won't object... :)
thanks!

update: i said i would share, and this was still working!
