hi mates!! i'm really interested into implementing a cloud system, so that all of my daily work, (which is usualy 10 new .doc's a day + some pdf's), are stored into a platform so that i can access them from any of the 3 computers i've got. any ideas? (im looking for a free service tho...). thx!

That's perfect. But it's limited to 2GBs of space if the aim is for a free usage.

I have 4.5GB for free. Just did a full invite of my GMail contacts and enough people registered. Very Happy

For each invitee you and your invitee get 250MB.

"We had a great run but Dropquest is now closed to new entrants (your friends who already started can still finish, though). This was our first Dropquest, but it won't be our last. Keep a look out for the next one! And get there early..."

got a question: in dropbox you are only enable to sync the files you got in the "Dropbox". isn't a way to sync specifically some directories or files that aren't in the "Dropbox" directory? maybe there is another cloud system that enables it... cose i have zounds of files and i use in all my equipments the "Work" directory, and would like to sync some of the subdirectories and files... any ideas?

Why no one mention SugarSync? 5 gb of free space and same invitation system as dropbox`s.
