Dropbox just made it so that  I  you can get up to 16GB of storage by referring new users to the awesome, life-changing free-of-charge cloud service. Noobs also get the same bonus for being referred, too. Let's get this pyramid scheme rolling, people. Update: I'm maxed out. Scroll down to the comments and give your fellow readers some.

  • Ace Manum

    Will you get to keep the 16GB permanently?

    • http://boingboing.net/ Rob Beschizza

      Yes, and you’ll live forever, too, even if you’ve seen things those people wouldn’t believe.

      • Ross Bearman

        Dropbox has a pretty bad track record when it comes to security. It’s a great service for easy public file sharing and simple syncing, but it certainly isn’t secure. Assume anything you put on there could become public.

        In the not so distant past one of their developers pushed up a change that bypassed the password authentication; you could log in to any account by entering anything into the password field. This was the case for several hours.

        This is a good article on the subject of Dropbox’s security: http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2011/05/internet_security

        (Shamelessly piggy backing on Rob’s comment at the top. ¬_¬)

        • rf

          Well heck, I’ll shamelessly piggyback on yours. I’ll be careful with my new super-data-storage powers, I promise!

          http://db.tt/DiQ4jiPO

          I’ll edit this if I get topped off to let you other fun-loving pyramid schemers know…

        • Jordan Yaruss

      Really I’m replying to Rob’s suggestion bellow, but, you know, click on a link to get your free cloudling.

      http://db.tt/NzrVYwty

      Yes. That link up there give you 2.5 Gb free cloud storage with the possibility of up to 16 Gb through pyramidal referrals like this.

    • Daemonworks

      Great place for storing all of my academic articles, character sheets, creating writing, photos and whatnot.

    I’m on a pretty fast connection… not cable internet or anything. I don’t know what the hell it is… whatever one step down from cable is.

    I like the idea of cloud storage, but it literally takes me an hour to upload a single album. Is cloud storage for fast connections only?

    This is the first time I’ve asked a techy question on the internet in a long time. I’m scared. Go easy on me.

    • mwiik

      Sounds like DSL. I used to have DSL. It’s ok. So far I’m using Dropbox for small files. It runs in the background and likely won’t perceptively affect your surfing. Get started here: http://db.tt/CWtXuYm5 

    • Brainspore

      Dropbox is actually a pretty good solution for slow(ish) internet connections since you still keep all the files stored locally on your hard drive and it updates any changes in the background. You can also change the settings so it only updates when your connection is idle so it won’t affect your surfing at all.

      Also, if you use THIS referral I’ll let you access the shared folder I use for high-res naked photos of the ten people you find most sexually attractive. http://db.tt/92tuwY1

    This blog entry would have been cleverer had Rob inserted a hack to replace all db.tt links to his own referral URL.

    • http://boingboing.net/ Rob Beschizza

      Anyone accessing this thread gets a trojan that invisibly edits all of these links to have my referrer code — ESPECIALLY macs.

     Why I remember back in the day when 1k was enough… well enough to run but not really enough for anything worth talking about but the 16k expansion pack cost more than the computer and didn’t really work right because the connection would jiggle every time you typed on that POC keyboard and freeze the whole thing up…. Ah, but sonny, you can’t barely fit a favicon in 16k anymore so what’s an extra 500mb amongst friends – or, acquaintances if the familiarity of “friends” shocks your sensibilities – “friends” is after all a bit of a stretch for the fellow travelers who just happened to intersect on this vast internet of tubesthings wanting free stuff. http://db.tt/4PLMuqzU
