Re: Dropbox
I use MS SkyDrive myself (25GB), but you need a Live/Hotmail account to set it up.

Re: Dropbox
I have a Dropbox account myself but i`ve rarely ever used the thing other than to test it,which was a while back now.
Handy in some circumstances i suppose but i prefer to trust my own backup solutions rather than any online ones.
You can get more free space with other solutions if thats what your after.
25G as mentioned above with MS Skydrive.
Or you could have a more meager 10G free with Humyo
Or even a whopping 50G free with Adrive

Re: Dropbox
I have tried Dropbox but found it a fiddly pain. I store a fair bit of stuff in my Google Docs and find that of more use as I can access the information even when I am away from home and if needed can share any item with another Google account holder.

I'm only looking at it because my daughter sent me an invite..I suspect she thinks it might be easy to share files this way as she has a Mac and I don't.
