Anyone that uses the referral and posts a picture of a hot chick before 10pm tonight will receive the following amount of vcash:
1000 for the referral
1000 for the picture
100-1000 depending on how hot the chick is compared to the one posted before her (my discretion). Equally hot is the baseline and gets 500.

Thanks to mantooth for bringing hot chicks into this.

You get 500mb more per referral if you link a .edu email.

I also think it raises the free limit to 16gb.

No chit? I don't have an edu email, though.

My wife works for UC so she does. I'm going to piggyback off of that.

The bonus is also retroactive. IE: If you already have 3 referrals before you register a .edu email it will give you the additional 250mb for each of those.

And you could probably find someone with a .edu email that would be willing to let you use it.

You only need to find one person with a .edu to get 16 GB?

No, you have to register your/a .edu email with dropbox. And then all the referall credits you get from then on will be 500mb instead of 250 and it will bump up all the old ones.

This hasn't enticed as many people as I had hoped. You don't realize how useful this application is.

Lol. If it weren't extremely awesome I wouldn't be so adamant in increasing my storage amount.

It's one of the best applications/services I use on the computer. Can't tell you how useful it is for not only backing up items but for when "oh shit, dropped my flash drive and have to do my presentation" moments happen. And the file syncing is incredibly convenient if you've got more than one computer or device. Nice putting a file in your dropbox or updating a file and have it be synced and updated on all your machines.

It appears you didn't use the referral link. There is no record of you under my referral's tab.

Ahh, I see it now. You have "joined" but you haven't completed the process, yet, it says. I think you have to actually download the app and link your account to a computer before the process is complete. I overlooked it since it wasn't "completed" and your email address led me to believe you were another member of the site that I also friends with on facebook.

I will give you 1000 vCash now for posting the two extremely hot chicks and give you your remaining 1000 vCash when you complete the process and my storage goes up. :)
