Dropbox/Sugarsync/Minus referral thread - ONLY post them HERE
This is the official Dropbox/Sugarsync/Minus referral link thread.
Please only post your referral links here and keep them out of other Dropbox/Sugarsync and/or other related threads. Any referrals posted elsewhere will be deleted, edited, or moved to this thread.
Only post your referral link ONCE.
EDIT: DO NOT MAKE A DROP BOX REFERRAL LINK YOUR FIRST AND/OR ONLY POSTS. IT WILL BE DELETED FROM THIS THREAD IMMEDIATELY AND WILL BE CONSIDERED SPAM - WHICH MAY RESULT IN FURTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION.
EDIT: on jan 1, 2011, sugarsync will take back any referral bonus space you get. i suggest using dropbox unless you really need sugarsync's added functionality.

With the upcoming release of 'Dropbox for Android' I can see referral links being posted all over the forum.
As such please post your referrals here and keep them out of other Dropbox related threads.
That's a good idea; there's a lot of temptation to post something that's only nominally useful as an excuse to include one's referral link, resulting in a whole lot of blather. Although I hope the post I wrote yesterday was more than that, I've edited out the link and I'll include it here instead: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTUzMjk2MzM5
To my mind, though, SugarSync is even better. It does both what Drop Box does, providing a special folder that gets synced up on multiple machines, if you like, plus allowing you to specify ANY other directories to keep backed up. See my note on their referral program below, however.
Take care.
May 4th Update: SugarSync has just released version 3.0 of their Android program. It's got an improved user interface, numerous new features, and judging from an hour or so of use, it's much more stable. Wow! My original rating in the market was **, but I'll certainly give this 4 stars, and 5 if it remains stable. I'm very impressed.
Peace and love.
May 22nd Update: Dropbox has released an Android app as well, which you can find here:http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.dropbox.android . In the meantime, I've spent a lot of time exploring the cloud storage programs available. Hands down, Dropbox has the most generous referral program; you can get up to 8 GB of storage for free (and I'd be grateful if you helped me boost mine: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTUzMjk2MzM5). SugarSync is another such service, and they just emended the terms of their referral program for the better. Up until a day or two ago, all your bounus space would disappear on Jan. 1, 2011. There erupted a hue and cry, however, and they listened. Now, any bonus space you earn is yours to keep. I compliment the company for listening. If you'd like to check them out, you can use this referral link: https://www.sugarsync.com/referral?rf=dxkjtxd0mj323 . I like SugarSync better than Dropbox, in fact, since it lets you decide which folders you want to synchronize. Finally, there's Syncplicity, and they're well worth checking out. While they don't have an Android app yet, they do have a mobile web site. Their referral program is also unusual; they offer 1 GB for each new referral, up to 3 GB: https://my.syncplicity.com/Signup/UserSignup.aspx?plan=free&token=LZT6YPIB . This tops out at 5 GB.

Have a good time and help others when you can! (otherwise the mean android ghost will come and underclock and overvolt your phone!!)
<3 u for giving me extra storage! My dropbox is strictly used for school purposes, going for software engineering so maybe in return I can learn how to make an app you want for free!!!
works well with nexus one. Dropbox is basically a free online storage application for all your smartphone mobile device and computers. The files stored are automatically synced in real time. it's quick with the storage. It could work as an alternative method for uploading music files or pictures to and from your computer and android phone. i havent tried large files like a movie file.
you start off with 2 gig, but it grows 250 mb at a time.
i have to see if this can work on my secured computer at work. if it does, this application would defiantly be a great idea for syncing files with Android Tablets in the future.
if you guys think of any good use for this applications besides all the regular word, excel, ppt and music sync let me know~
oh yah you can send invites to ppl to share items in your DropBox too

This might seem a LITTLE self-serving, but I'm also doing this for all of you.
If anyone wants I can "refer" you, both of us get an extra 250MB of space. So if you plan on signing up and you want 2.25gigs instead of 2gigs, click here:
Again, you don't have to, and I wouldn't post it if it only helped me... but this will actually help everyone who uses it... and I would suggest being referred to the site over just signing up.
Edit: for those who aren't sure what Dropbox is, let me explain it - because this is the #1 reason I switched from a blackberry to the incredible. Dropbox enables you to have a single "folder" on your desktop, for instance, that synch's with the dropbox website. Your phone can then access the website and retrieve all of the files. If you update a file on your phone, it pushes the update online, and your computer will update accordingly with the newer file. If you update a file on your computer, the dropbox website updates with the newer file... and you can then retrieve that file with your Android smartphone. It also has a "shared" folder that you can share with friends. Def worth a try!
Hmmm... This late into the thread I doubt this will get used, but if you're new to the Dropbox world and haven't created an account yet, then use this link for an extra 250MB space:
Dropbox is available for Android! If you haven't used it, I highly recommend it. And if you haven't, please use this link as I (and you!) get more space: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTU2NTcyOTk . It allows you to sync files across computers/phones/etc. My wife and I use it to share files throughout the day. You can use it as a personal sync (plus backup) or share it with others.
Now I finally have my password system fully synced. Here's what I did: Install Keepass and Dropbox on everything I use (Home PC, Work PC, and now Droid). Put your Keepass database IN Dropbox. It will sync it (and back it up) on their secure server. Now I always have my passwords with me, no matter where or what I'm on.
These passwords are secure too. Here's a randomly generated one: ifB7grda9TyBO5WJqGXd. No way I'd remember it, but Droid remembers for me.
So give Keepass and Dropbox a chance. And if you do, please use my referral link! You get 250MB extra as well!
