Hm. I guess it works for Enterprise etc, but not for small groups. I've got a high school club, 12 members. We use(d) Dropbox until we "ran out of space". Its $9.99/mo to "upgrade" and we ALL have to pay it. So the business model (from our point of view) is: pay nothing until you're hooked, then its $1,400/year. Ouch!

The reason I don't recommend dropbox, is that it's not clear from the homepage how someone can send a big file with it. I can watch a video or sign in to an account. Great, but the people I am recommending this to want to share a file: why is there no file upload widget on the homepage?

Can't you have everyone sign into the same account?
