I don't know if anyone else has a Dropbox pro account, but we do and we were almost at our 100GB limit.  Then they emailed this morning and said that all pro accounts now have 1TB plus a bunch of other new features!   :woot:

So yeah, I'm sticking with them (was considering jumping to Google).

wow.

I'm starting to move more and more stuff into google because I have a free 200GB there for the next year and a half (from buying my chromebook.) I wonder if g-drive will follow suite at some point?

What happens to your data after the 18 months?  You have to buy the space?  Keep in mind I'm paying $100/year for DB Pro.

yeah, after the free time it converts to a paid account (or you can cancel and, I presume, loose all your data).

*lose

And you probably won't lose the data for awhile. You just won't be able to access it

Ass.

I think Alex had a hand in some of the new features there too...we don't talk about specifics of his work very often, but something with the timing of the release and when he was working too much to talk to me last week (combined with other stuff) makes me happy...
