An old friend of mine, Hyper, e-mailed me about something he discovered.
I’ve previously blogged about how to use Google Adwords to get 10GB of free Dropbox for life.
Hyper has discovered that Dropbox are conducting a beta program of a new photo & video import feature. By installing their new beta software and importing 5GB of photos & videos to Dropbox with the new beta features, you will be rewarded with 5GB of extra space (in chunks of 500MB, separate from the referral bonuses).
Good find Hyper! Thanks for letting me know.
I’ve done it myself and have so far been rewarded with 500MB – it sucks being limited to 1Mbit upload on ADSL2+.
Got to love open beta tests. This one is for a good cause.
Note for windows users: You don’t need to enable autoplay. To see this feature, upgrade to the new trial version (link provided in Criten’s post), stick in a USB drive, wait until windows sees it, then right click the drive and choose Open AutoPlay then Import Pictures and videos using Dropbox
Dropbox will then scan the USB stick and try to upload everything on it
On the same topic, I still haven’t gotten off and using the google method to increase my dropbox by references.
If anyone feels like giving me a hand to increase my dropbox size

There is a link in that blog post on how to get a free Adwords coupon. Thats the best way. A free coupon in your personal name. Or, you could always create a few fake accounts.
I’d hook you up but I’ve already done the several accounts thing.
Nice job having a mobile virsion of your website http://m.criten.org that can sill be zoomed (most sites don’t)
