Walkthrough: http://dropbox.pastebin.com/J5SkmzL6 A lot of people are stuck, and some might just want the extra 1GB, so I thought this could help. Of course, it contains spoilers. (I am not the creator of the list, I just found it on twitter after I completed)

what about step 8, just a question mark?

I wasn't able to solve a couple of puzzles without the walkthrough, but am wondering about the solutions anyway. Will the Dropbox team or anyone else post some explanations afterwards?

I bombed out at https://www.dropbox.com/votebox/3712/frozen-yogurt and wasted my entire day. I commend Dropbox for this awesome Saturday.

Same, dont know what to do at that page.

Hint: Hunt down the hunter at their team page.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I created a folder named the hex code of the color, shared it with the email address hidden in the picture, and nothing happened. Maybe their servers are overloaded?

Definitely didn't include the #. Simply created a folder named 1F75CC, shared it with dropquest@dropbox.com and...nothing. Can't imagine what I'm still doing wrong, so I'm chalking it up to a bug on their end now.

It worked for me. The only thing I did differently was including the contents of the previous zip file (the image and the step21.txt) in the shared folder.
