I was going to give you 750 but if you only want 500 that's fine.

Hi Alan; I have been using & sharing folders in Dropbox for quite some time now, with no problems. It is a great & easy way to transfer information between people. The only thing you really need to pay attention to is, the size of the information you receive / send. Your default Dropbox folder size is only 2 Gigabites, which sounds like a lot but, when sharing movies, music & other things that require a large amount of space this 2 Gigabites can be eaten up quite quickly. I think you will enjoy the Dropbox experience because once you get the hang of it, it really does work very well. Okay Dropbox people, I think my Dropbox commercial is worth at least 500 Megabites added to my account! LOL Hope this helps. Take care.

I cannot remember the specifics, but some time ago, I heard that those "Drop Box" accounts were a security risk in some way, not specifically in the manner of viruses or that kind of thing, but that it opened a hole in your Windows Security systems or such. I am currently using a paid account with Sendspace, and it serves me very well, but this friend does not like Sendspace, using the FREE account, one must go through a lot of advertising, and I understand what he means with a FREE account. Any comments regarding your experiences or having a "Drop Box" account, I would appreciate it very much.
