Dropbox.com – Free Online Storage, No Ads!

Dropbox is a secure, private file storage system powered by AJAX and driven by donations, with no ads. Each Account has 1 GB of storage space and you can upload /download as large as 50 MB. Folks who love the service can donate 1$ (or more) to keep them up and running.

You can upload and download files without registering, but to make them stay forever, you need to signup. Looks, Feels and tastes nice, I’m really starting to love this service. I use Dropbox to store my temporary database backups and few other misc stuff, but I think their revenue model is too weak to support their bandwidth charges. Go donate few bucks and come back :)

No credits to anyone, found it on Digg

  • Blabla
    Theres some confusion between getdropbox.com and dropboks.com.

    This article is supposedly talking about dropboks.com but there is also another similar service at getdropbox.com.

    So the title of the article is actually wrong.

    Getdropbox.com allows people to share sync AND store files online. Dropboks.com only allows people to store files online.

    Hope that helps.

    For added security, you can use IBackup Professional, whose encryption is based on a user-defined key so that the data stored on IBackup Professional servers cannot be decrypted by anybody other than you.

Just try all these features and much more with the free trial of IBackup for Windows. You will love it.
  • Luke: Good to know that there lots of people who actually donate to cover up your hosting charges. I wish you a best of luck, I'll surely donate!
  • Just so everybody knows, DropBoks has been able to cover its costs since day one. There are a lot of people out there who would rather donate a couple bucks than be forced to look at ads. Keep in mind, bandwidth and storage are extremely cheap.
