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

  1. They really have to work on their revenue model. I really cannot put my stuff there for long time because I do not know when they may pull the plug.

  2. Definately a useful service.

  3. Vyoma: Yeah, I don’t think they can survive much longer with thinking of a revenue source. Even Ads won’t work since there is so little content and AJAX makes it almost impression less :(

  4. These days, I see at any service out there - I try to see what they get out of it. I am a bit sceptical about generous services because you cannot actually depend on it.

  5. [...] Found another one via Tech-Buzz today. DropBoks is a little website that allows you to securely upload and download your files as you please. No bells, no whistles, just an easy and quick way to store your files online. [...]

  6. Ajay: No, its not a typo. Its Dropboks

  7. Looks really good! But I wonder what would happen if this site gets really popular…
