Dropbox – 2GB online storage, no gimmicks

Came across this earlier this weekend and wanted to share – Dropbox.  Dropbox gives you 2GB of storage for your files – you can upload/download via browser or you can install their software (no ads, or spyware) that will allow for drag and drop features on your PC or Mac.  They offer a 50GB account for $9.99 per month or $99 per year.  My flash drive is 2GB so the free account should suit me just fine.  But if you are a pack rat or have large files to share – $100 is reasonable.

I have seen lots of these services that are tied to Microsoft Live (an account I don’t use) or similar – this one isn’t.  Until Google allows me to use my gmail space or google docs space for all kinds of files, I will stick with Dropbox.

Also – use this link when you sign-up and get 256MB more storage space.  I will get 256MB more as well so it is a win-win situation.  Referrals are limited to an extra 3GB – meaning after 24 referrals I could have as much as 5GB of storage space – awesome.  Anyone can refer so if you get referrals after you sign-up you can have more storage space as well.
