I found that the dropbox is just a Cross-platform client,and need to connect a dropbox account. because of the network environment , we didn't be allowed to do it. I download the software in other web site,but I could't connect successfully. And I found that the total capacity is 2G. So,it is still not a good idea for me. dropbox is on behalf of network disks. there are so many productions like this,but the capacity all is small. So , I doublt that it is possible for browser to upload the very very large file ? and I whether can to use a web browser to upload files via FTP ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
