Share Files in Collaboration with DropBox - Grab Your Invites
By ManavSharing files on Internet is one of the most common activities we do these days. However there is little control on who is reading your files and when it comes to sharing files between many users, each user need to go and grab it. Well no more. Welcome toDrop Box DropBox , an online collaborative service which allows you to share files with whom you want and also supports versions in case somebody changes the file whom you shared with. Sounds Complicated Let me simplify it.
We might have some DropBox invitation ( Drop Box invites ) left to give it away for free. Just comment and ask
- You create a folder online.
- You decide whom to share with and invite him.
- He gets the invite accepts and get access to shared folder.
- Drop Box Software creates a replica of folder which you created online and all the files get downloaded on your system. ( In Short After this installation you need to link your account with your computer.)
- The person whom you invited also uses the same software and Drop box creates only those folder he got shared.
- Now you drop a file into the folder and that person gets the folder directly downloaded on his computer.
Now imagine you need to share a file with 100 users. If all use this method all 100 people just need to drop a file and everybody gets it without even going any where.
Now let’s have a walk through of the Features of Dropbox
- You can decide who is going to share the data, in particular folder, once you allow someone to share, still rights to discontinue this sharing are with you


- Adding files to shared folder is simple, you just need to copy paste it in the shared folder, after this you can continue with your work, and it Dropbox will silently upload it so as to make available to other collaborators, and will notify once the upload is finished.
- You can delete or modify files and get it back anytime as it maintains the versions of each change made.
- If you want to recover any deleted file , just go to the site and click Show file button of that shared folder.You will be able to see hidden files link. Once you click that it will show the deleted files too in the list and deleted files can be recognized by the characteristic that these will not have any data in the size field of these files.

- You have a public folder too which can be used if you just want to share with every body.
Over all Advantages :
- Faster way to share files with any number of people.
- 5Gb is allotted which is good amount. Just keep on deleting older files in case you fall short.
- More control who is sharing.
- The installed component on the computer for Dropbox keeps updating itself silently, nothing is to be done by the user.
- While the files are being transported they follow an encryption algorithm to keep your data safe
- In case of the edited files, Dropbox saves the extra work by comparing it with the older version and only sends the minimum (i.e the difference).
Now here is little bad news, You just cant go directly and start using it. Its in Public Beta and hence you will need an invite. Once invited you can use it the way we told here
Don’t get upset we just forgot to tell you that we have got invites and just make a comment that makes sense ( Hint Hint Ask something !! ) on this post or any of our post and we will send you an invite right away. So what are you waiting for Grab it!!!
PS: If you make a comment anywhere else just tell us you need an invite. ![]()

Thanks for any invites.
And it’s great the the source computer doesn’t have to be online (right)?
Send me and invite if you still have some left!
If you can, feel free to send one over right away.
This stuff looks awesome. Could make filesynching much easier for everyone, provided it’s used in a sensible manner.

To have a better understanding of the differences of dropbox and wuala, I would really like to try it out. But I can’t cause the internet seems to go crazy about dropbox
Thanks for sending me one if there’s one left.

A friend and I collaborate on multimedia projects and we’re trying to find a way to sync the files we are sharing online. This seems like just the ticket.
If there are still invites, it’d be great to try. I’d also be curious to hear any other suggestions for online collaboration/file sharing for small groups.
We’re currently using an external drive, but the lag in file updates can be frustrating at times.
@Sam: I dont think there is any particula limit and for your kind of work it seems to be perfect. But we dont have any more invites left. If we get one surely will send you.
I would love to an invite!
Can someone please send one too:
redfury [at] gmail.com
Many thanks in advance,
Stuart
Hi Sturat,
We dont have ny of drop box invites left, But we can send you another invite which is of Online music Sharing Community in which you can find and listen to songs shared by other people. Do tell me and I will send you one.
thank you
I would like to know how much space is there available when you sign up for dropbox.
I guess it must be big, otherwise it is not very useful. Anyway, do you still have invites so I can try it by myself?
Thanks.
Hi, Nicolas
You get around 5GB . This should be sufficienct for docsuments and folders. But if somebody is in mood of transfering movie like files its gonna be difficult. However we dont have any more invites left
Sorry
Ashish
Thank you,
Dimitris
Do you still have one invitation left for me? Thanks!
thanks,
max

I am trying Microsoft’s FolderShare to sync between my computers at home and my computer at the oofice. It’s neat, but I have an old laptop with Ubuntu that I am not able to sync with.
Do you know a way to do it? As far as I read, DropBox is not able to that also, or have I misunderstood the info?
(btw, is it possible to get one of those DropBox invitations so that I can have a first hand tryout of it? Thanks a lot)
All the raving about Dropbox makes me want to add this to my arsenal of back-up strategies.
thanks for the invite
