If you use more than one computer (and/or a smartphone) this app is extremely useful. Drag a file into the dropbox folder. Boom, it's now on all computers and your phone.

You can pay to increase the memory.

For work, we use the 2gb dropbox (which is free) and it's more than enough for us.

Not the 2GB plan. Which, you can refer people like I am to increase your capacity. You can get up to 8GB with the free plan.

And then I could put a lot of the music I downloaded legally on there and be able to play it on my phone?

Indeed.

I wasn't sure if this was possible at first but I just tested it out. It works with an mp3 file, at least.

The quality in a midi file is unbeatable.

If dlazz checks in here I'll give him his 1000 if he wants since he was the one who signed up for a referral which then led to me posting this thread.

So you cap out at 8 GB of free storage? Are there any other perks for you to keep adding referrals? If not I will post a link after you reach your limit so I can capitalize on this minor league move as well.

No more referral perks after reaching 8GB.

Sorry, I misspoke. You get 2GB to start out and can earn an additional 8GB through referrals for a total of 10GB free.

Another cool feature is that you can share folders with people. So not only care you sync between two or more of your own computers, you can also sync with other people's computers. You could use it to easily share photos of your kids with your mom or collaborate with people at work.

I signed up, but I don't want the vcash...give it to whoever posts the best picture of Mila Kunis.

I will give your 1000 to the next person who signs up and posts a picture of Mila Kunis (total of 2000 to them).

cool beans...you might want to put something about the vcash in the title of this, depending on how many referrals you need.
