Just a quick addition to this. Through some really easy steps (tweeting, facebook, sharing, and so forth) you can get more space. My dropbox is at 3.25gb, and I still haven't paid anything for it. It is true that uploading seems to take a while, and that can be frustrating if you have a lot of information to put in your dropbox. Still, changes seem to be faster than the initial upload, so putting everything in there and leaving it overnight should get you started and avoid the waiting.
