If you use DropBox, you might want to consider to opt out from the new “Forced Arbitration” part of their revised Terms of Service.
This is why: Why You Should Opt Out Of Forced Arbitration, In 3 Sentences – Consumerist.
Or switch to copy.com which offers more storage, and not such a legal limitation in their ToS.
Though the 2 gigabyte Twitter promotion has ended, they do give you:
- 15 gigabyte standard
- 5 gigabyte extra when you sign up through a referral (like mine https://copy.com?r=3NGul6)
- 5 gigabyte extra for each referral you perform.
- Fair Storage: sharing 6 gigabyte with 3 users, will only charge 2 gigabyte per user (unlike DropBox which charges 6 gigabytes for all three users).
- View the history of a file from within Mac OS X Finder or Windows Explorer
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest.
Copy.com even has a Migrate from another Service option using the services provided by Mover.io…
