Definitely not a viral campaign. I know this guy personally and he is a clever little beaver.

I am amazed people don't have friends to push it to. I upped my storage by just suggesting it to friends and family.

I invited some colleagues but Dropbox denied the referrals because they said it came from the same computer. It came from the same IP (our corp firewall). I didn't feel like fighting it because I'm under my limit anyway.

Box.net running a promotion till Dec 2, download Box.Net iOS app, sign in or register new account, and get 50GB free.

Yes, unfortunately you don't get access to the desktop application unless you sign up for a premium plan. Also, the file size limits for upload are lower unless you are a premium user. So maybe don't bother, if Dropbox works for you in the free version.

There's a way around it. It's just WebDav.

Here's how to do it on Ubuntu, it works just as well on my Mac: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-access-your-box...
