All, If you got Chad's invite and added the CCIE-W Dropbox folder to your Dropbox account, you probably suddenly found out that you now have no space left on your Dropbox account and are significantly oversubscribed. Here's why: Will joining someone else's shared folder use my quota? Yes. Your Dropbox storage quota is calculated by adding up the total amount of data in your Dropbox folder, including all shared folders you own or are a member of. As a result of this, the owner of a Dropbox Basic 2 GB account will not be able to collaborate on a shared folder larger than 2GB. One reason this policy exists is to prevent people from giving themselves unlimited space by stacking free accounts with shared folders. In the future, we hope to add a feature where a finite number of Dropbox accounts can share a single group Dropbox. We also have some exciting sharing features being developed that will address some of the shared quota restrictions You can find more info here: https://www.dropbox.com/help/59 So, unfortunately for me, I won't be able to access the files in the CCIE-W folder because I need access to all the other stuff I have in Dropbox. Their policy on this sucks but that's the way it is.
