So what does "Connect your Twitter account to Dropbox" actually mean? They're asking for read/write permission, which makes me wonder if it's going to post every time I change a file or something. No thanks.
On Windows, Dropbox shows up as "My Documents/My Dropbox". When really "My Documents" should be the dropbox.
I work at Dropbox and came up with this page. Thanks for throwing confounding variables in this soft launch experiment, Hacker News. A few points that might interest yall: 1. We won't publish to facebook or twitter without your explicit permission. 2. We ask for information about your facebook profile because it will make Dropbox better. It's mainly about learning about our users without annoying surveys. We won't ma…
I'd love to work for dropbox, if it weren't for the fact that I'd have to move. Great work, though, I'm a big fan.

The brilliant thing about all of the free space that Dropbox "gives away" is that most people who get it (90%? more?) don't actually use it. I'm up to 4.9GB of free space, but I'm only using 7.6%, so I'm well under 2GB. And I would venture to guess that I'musing more space than the average free user. So their cost isn't even the pretty-low cost of (cost to store 128MB * the number of people who do the task). It's the…

Can I just pay for Terabytes of storage? No offense, but I like the job I have.
Like I mentioned elsewhere, there is a lot of work to do on different pricing plans.

That's also the reason why uploads are so fast. If a file is already on the server it isn't uploaded again.

If anything, Dropbox isn't thinking big enough. They really need to start thinking about how to provide a ubiquitous, multi-platform, private, cloud filesystem. Stop encouraging people to "back up" their files, and start using encouraging people to store the primary copy of all their files on Dropbox. On Windows, Dropbox shows up as "My Documents/My Dropbox". When really "My Documents" should be the dropbox.
One of the things I love about Dropbox is that they've always seemed to be very straight forward and above board. They feel trustable.
