I've recently installed Dropbox and it seems like a useful cloud storage app. The free account comes with 2gb of storage, which can be increased in 250mb increments by referrals up to (I believe) 10gb.
If you don't already have a Dropbox account, please consider using this http://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTEyOTEzODk4OQreferral link. I think I read that by using it, you will also get a 250mb increase to your own new account.
Thank you.

Indeed, when creating a new one you also get the extra 250mb. (sorry, already got one)
I'm using dropbox to share files for a Stars! team game right now, no more hassle in mailing .x and .h files back and forth! We now always we have the most up to date .x file in the shared dropbox folder (and get a warning when it's updated). Have been looking for such a thing for years! It's just a plain folder on your harddisk and you can launch Stars! straigth away. (It also keep backups of changes ...) After the install and sharing of the folder you don't have to do anything anymore, excpet play! Great!

Looks like I need some help with Dropbox. I'm trying to use Dropbox to share ranks.htm discussed in this thread. In theory I can put any file into Public folder, get a public link and then having this link anyone can get this file, but in fact this works for some file types (so far verified it with gif, png, pdf, doc, txt, cpp, h and others), but didn't work with htm and html at all. Every time I'm trying to open htm or html using public link it always shows error 404. Currently my public folder contains two files: ranks.htm and ranks.txt. Technically speaking ranks.txt are the copy of the ranks.htm which extension was changed. But first one always returns an error 404, and second one always opens correctly. I'm pretty sure I've screwed up somewhere, but cannot find where... so, any help would be appreciated.
PS: At the same time ranks.htm can easily be opened from gible Dropbox.

Yeah, DropBox is sufficiently simple that I'm not sure you can screw it up.
The (very remote) only possibility I could think of was that the background no-duplicate files space saving process was somehow messing with it. But removing ranks.htm from my DB didn't fix it.
Ask on the DB forums. AFAICT they're very responsive.
