“Recently, Dropbox the popular cloud-storage company doubled the
amount of free space you got for inviting friends to Dropbox. How
much is that? For every friend you?d invite who installed Dropbox,
you?d both get 500 more MBs of free space. With a free account, you
can invite up to 32 people for a grand total of 16 GB of extra
space. Pro, read paid, accounts now earn 1 GB per referral, for a
total of 32 GB of extra space. Better still, you get this space
retroactively if you?d already gotten people to give Dropbox a
try.“That?s great, but does it make Dropbox the best of the personal
cloud storage services? Maybe. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is
offering some kind of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) cloud
services lately. In IaaS that you find file storage, ala Dropbox,
but other companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft are also
offering storage, media serving, and other IaaS ad hoc services for
either free or minimal prices.”
