[nfbcs] Dropbox Instead!

[Joe Orozco]

I've only had my Public folder suspended once, and that was a very brief
period.  In that occasion it was as much about the number of people
downloading the file as much as the size of the file itself.  I think
there's a way to use Microsoft's storage capacity as well.  I just like
applications that let you manipulate materials directly from your desktop as
opposed to logging onto a website.  I think Send Space may also have this
option with a paid subscription.

Best,

Joe

It probably depends upon one's primary use.  I use dropbox to 
keep my computers synchronized with the occasional 
public file and I've had nothing but good luck with it.  It 
probably isn't the mechanism one should use if one's primary 
purpose is to make files available to the public.  Does dropbox 
have a specific policy or stated limitation?  Jim really 
needs to figure out his primary use to determine what works best.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
