#2I'm not certain if this is "news" per se. It's interesting, and I'm glad that Dropbox is staying kickass, but there's not much discussion to be held, nor is this a particularly newsworthy subject.
Re: Dropbox 100GB Plan
#3At first glance, it seems a touch expensive, as you can get Github and GMail accounts that offer far more storage for less expense. But on the other hand, Dropbox don't have the advantage of being able to assume that most of their customers won't use the full 100GB, as is the case with emails or source control. Also, looking at Amazon's S3 pricing, it isn't much cheaper to use something like Jungledisk with S3 directly, and Dropbox is much nicer.

I don't understand why you felt the need to take a shot at this.
What if one of the dropbox guys dropped in and told us how they were able to pull off the backend work?
Great discussions here on HN can stem from any kind of article, so I would hesitate to discourage discussion.

I say it because I want there to be some users who really think about what's relevant and what's not. Of course, I'm a single user: my opinion is just an opinion here. It's just how I felt.
There was a conversation on IRC a few days ago where people were complaining that "favored" HN companies would get stories up to the top page when the stories were fairly bland. I saw this and thought of that. I'm a proud Dropbox user - it's one of my favorite products - but this doesn't seem like something to revolve conversation around.

I see your point: my feelings for Dropbox do affect my votes.

Agreed. In addition, the link is broken for me. Brings me to a login page.

theres also the fact that when you navigate to the normal upgrade choices, the 100gb choice isn't listed. I also dislike the fact that the prices increase linearly. Would it not be reasonable to have them increase sublinearly to take advantage of the fact 1) the typical use of each storage tier will only use mildly more than the previous?

I posted it for two reasons:
a) The 100gb choice isn't listed as a normal upgrade option. People here are likely to be users, and also potential paying users. Classify this as more "useful link" than "news story".
b) This is news.YCombinator. There's nothing wrong with YC companies gaining a large amount of attention here. On the flip side, if it isn't interesting/useful then don't vote it up.

It takes you to the page after you're logged in.
