Get Up To 16 GB Of Free Cloud Based Storage With Dropbox

April 5, 2012 by Robb Dunewood Leave a Comment

My favorite cloud based storage service, Dropbox, is giving up to 16 GB of storage away to users who refer Dropbox to their friends.

If you aren’t familiar with Dropbox, think of it as a FREE 2GB USB drive that exists within “the cloud”, or, up on the internet, and can be accessed from pretty much any computer, tablet, or, smartphone (including BlackBerry devices) that can connect to the internet.

Personally I think that Dropbox, in a lot of ways, is better than a USB Drive, because you don’t have to remember to carry it around with you and Dropbox always provides you with the most up to date copy of your files as it constantly remains synced regardless of where you use it.

A standard Dropbox account gives you 2 GB of free cloud based storage, but, you can increase it by 16 GB in 500 MB chunks simply by referring your friends to a free Dropbox account.

If you already have a Dropbox account refer a few friends to increase your amount of storage.  If you don’t have a Dropbox account, sign up for one here, then refer a few of your friends to increase your amount of free storage.

DropBox For BlackBerry Updated To v1.0.37

December 14, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 1 Comment

DropBox, a cloud based file hosting and sharing service, which launched DropBox for BlackBerry back in September, has been updated to version 1.0.37 includes quite a few bug fixes including:

  • saving non-ascii texts results in garbled text
  • handling of edge cases when running out of space on sd card and in device memory
  • open-edit-upload usecase wasn’t working for devices with encryption enabled
  • share link freezes for some users
  • open-edit-upload usecase fails for files with non-ascii filenames
  • “would you like to allow logging” dialog shouldn’t appear on first launch
  • on rotatable devices, in image gallery, the displayed/cached image is smaller than screen size (shouldn’t happen)
  • app should ask for permissions in advance on first launch
  • app should support multiple third-party app associations for a given file type (e.g multiple pdf viewers)
  • music/video stops when screen fades out
  • user gets a “not enough room to write file” message when trying to open a file that’s already open in docs2go

DropBox for BlackBerry Now Officially Available

September 22, 2010 by Robb Dunewood Leave a Comment

DropBox, which first announced that it was coming to the BlackBerry back in May and went into a limited beta on the BlackBerry in July, has been officially released.  I personally am a huge fan of DropBox, and, with the official release of DropBox for BlackBerry, have a DropBox client installed on every smartphone, netbook, laptop, and desktop that I own.  DropBox is the best solution that I’ve ever used for keeping data synchronized between multiple machines and the best part…  DropBox is Free!

Dropbox For BlackBerry Updated To Beta 5 — 1000 Test Slots Opened

September 10, 2010 by Robb Dunewood Leave a Comment

We just got word that Dropbox for BlackBerry has been updated to beta 5 and 1000 test slots have been opened into the closed beta.  Dropbox is a cloud based file synchronization service that allows you to keep files synchronized between computers, the web, and various smartphones.

A post over on the Dropbox forums letting beta testers know that Dropbox for BlackBerry beta 5 is now available and that 1000 new test slots have been opened went up about 8 hours before this post, so, act fast if you want to try to get in.  I just got into the beta at about 10:30 a.m. EST, but, have no idea how many slots are left.

Even if you can’t get into the Dropbox for Blackberry beta, I highly recommend Dropbox to anyone that may ever need to access files on more than one computer.  You must  have a Dropbox account before you can get into the Dropbox for BlackBerry beta, so, why not give it a shot.  Dropbox is free, so, you definitely can’t beat the price.

Dropbox For BlackBerry Enters Limited Beta

July 31, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 1 Comment

Dropbox, a file synchronization and sharing application that allows you to install on multiple computers and many smartphones, has gone into a limited beta on the BlackBerry.  Unfortunately, the Dropbox for BlackBerry beta is currently closed to new participants, however, I am hoping that they open it up to more beta tester or that the software is soon to be released to the masses.

I personally use Dropbox and am pleased and excited that Dropbox for BlackBerry is on the horizon.  It is currently installed on every one of my computers and my Droid Incredible.  Even the the Dropbox for BlackBerry beta is currently closed, I recommend that anyone who doesn’t already use Dropbox, give Dropbox a try.

Dropbox for BlackBerry “Coming Soon”

May 6, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 6 Comments

Dropbox, a really cool cloud based file hosting and sharing application will soon be available on the BlackBerry.  If you aren’t familiar with Dropbox, they have a video that explains on over on the Dropbox website, however, to make a short story a little longer, Dropbox is essentially a virtual folder that automatically syncs files dropped into it across multiple computers.

We don’t have a specific release date for when Dropbox for BlackBerry will become available but you can currently set up Dropbox on your Windows, Mac, or Linux computers, as well as the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
