Dropbox Blog: Dropbox launches!

  • cubus · 1 year ago
    This service is really looking promising. Congratulations with the work over the past 2 years.

    Going to give it a try.
  • Ted · 1 year ago
    Congrats on going live to the general public! I've been using DropBox for about 6 months now, and it's awesome.

    I'm still amazed that MobileMe doesn't allow iPhone access to the iDisk, let alone an iPhone optimized interface. Kudos to DropBox for "getting it". Can you guess who's getting my $100 next year?
  • MLPrice · 1 year ago
    Exactly how will DropBox help you with your iPhone? Did I miss someting? I see what appears to be pretty expensive to me for just a file storage service. No synching of contacts, e-mail, calendar. Just a, "DropBox" allowing limited storage of only 50GB (not paltry for sure, but limited). I don't know.

    Personally I'd like to see a certain amount of storage dedicated to a workgroup and the ability to assign different people access. So I could drop stuff in one of my many dropboxes and only give certain people access.

    Yay news - and it's awesome news! ^^

    Sweetness, linux client? iPhone compatible? What more could we want!

    Congratulations guys and job well done! I wish you the best of luck.

    Great meeting you last night Drew.

    Thanks guys!!
  • Bryan · 1 year ago
    Great job guys! This is truly an accomplishment to be proud of, keep up the good work.
  • Domino · 1 year ago
    When you guys will put the option to back-up any directory in my computer than my 100$ will go to you, definitely.
    Untill then I am still using S3 from Amazon

    Hi!

    So far it was really fun to be a part of the community that supported the team by developing new ideas or by insisting on features ;-)

    It's great that the team had the courage to finally go into the wild. I hope that it will remain as stable as it was for a long time. And I hope that the team won't stop developing new features we all would like to see.

    But ... after the last days you all deserve some rest.

    So lay down and relax for a week.

    .
    .
    .

    Better one day.

    .
    .
    .

    Hmm ... one hour should be enough ... ;-)

    Some beta praise from a few months ago: http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/articles/dropb...
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Congrats! Awesome product/service.
  • spacebear · 1 year ago
    Congrats, guys! You really deserved it.

    I have followed you for a few months already, and was always sold on your enthusiasm and your always friendly responses. Keep it up!

    And: $9.99/month for 50GB sounds perfectly reasonable.

    I'm happy :)
  • Alex Linhares · 1 year ago
    Thanks for all the invisible magic! It's a fantastic service, and I hope you'll monetize it in a big way! Best of luck!
  • selcuk · 1 year ago
    THE CHINA BUS WAS IT WAH FUN WAH? i went on that bus for $15 the other day from boston to nyc. hahaha its cheap nice ride.
  • drailskid · 1 year ago
    Great job guys. I've been part of the beta and i can't say enough good things about dropbox to anyone.
  • Ryan · 1 year ago
    Congrats. One tip though you really need an about page that describes your product, has some screen shots, and tells users about the feature set as well as addresses security and encryption.
  • Jon_Y · 1 year ago
    Hey Ryan,

    Maybe http://www.getdropbox.com/tour has what you're looking for ;)

    We'll be adding other stuff to it in the future too.
  • pageman · 1 year ago
    tried dropbox yesterday! it's awesome awesome awesome! keep up the good work guys! :)
  • Don · 1 year ago
    how to sign in? the invitation code is no longer work?
  • Jon_Y · 1 year ago
    Don,

    You can sign in from the homepage (http://www.getdropbox.com)

    No need for invitations anymore!
  • Yousuf · 1 year ago
    Congrats. Fantastic! I love this app.
  • Thor Marius K.H · 1 year ago
    It's been a wild ride since the beta started. Loads of questions and discussions in the forums. Great to see that you're opening up now! As Michael said, it's been a wild ride. Oh those haiku poems.

    Great job you guys. Now, let me translate Dropbox!
  • xxx · 1 year ago
    Too bad the Linux client is partially binary-only crap :-(

    I don't know what reasons could you possibly have to not open source the daemon too, I can only imagine there's some uber secret in there -- which makes the protocol *by definition* unsecure (that's security 101, really) and Dropbox untrustworthy. If you're offering secure storage, you ought to be able to survive peer review.

    And that's on top of notorious problems with binary-only things on Linux. Color me not impressed.
  • steve · 1 year ago
    I expect the secret is in the mechanisms used to synchronise the files, rather than the protocol itself.
  • Andrew · 1 year ago
    Any ideas on having a incremental cost per GB? I wouldn't mind paying extra for something like 500GB.
  • Bill · 1 year ago
    Dropbox is quickly becoming a favorite app for me. I have a home office with three computers at home and 3 at work including one Mac. Keeping the files straight was an ongoing nightmare. Dropbox is helping me to tame the beast and get all of these little monsters on the same page. Thanks and the only thing I could want is one of those free 50 gig accounts to be truely content.
  • by2sell · 1 year ago
    Maybe Dropbox can help the Reps reach across to the Dems like it has helped my PC's reach out to my Mac. Great job, I am always amazed when an app works like it is supposed to before the 1st or 2nd upgrade.
  • Novioplan · 1 year ago
    Congrats! I just installed Dropbox her on my IMac (in the Netherlands)
    I will give it a try, but I believe right now the prommissis are very good.
    Thanks for the invite.

    Drew, Congratulations!

    You've come a log way since I chatted with you about DropBox at MIT and the WebInno in Boston a few years ago. I was one of the first beta users of DropBox and I still use - happily. Really good and useful piecie of software.

    Keep up the good work and congrats again.

  • thebrother23 · 1 year ago
    Hoooray! It's been a long wait for the public invite, but well worth it. So simple, so clever, so why didn't I think of it? The Hotmail idea of the 00's? Good luck, guys. I hope you make a fortune!!!

    It's just fantastic. I work in Windows, Mac and Linux; so thank you very much for such a good product and to have linux users in mind ... the web interface, the clients, tutorials, docs etc. everything an example on how to be a technological leader.
  • JJ · 1 year ago
    !$%#@!#!!

    I watched the promo video, I took the tour, I read the FAQ, and I still have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how much storage I get when I sign up. This seems like a rather important piece of information to put on your site, I would think!

    The FAQ even goes so far as to say that more storage will be available for purchase in the future, without saying how much is available free now.

    I thought it might be mentioned in the forums, but I'm not allowed to even see the forums until after I've already signed up. No way to contact support -- or anybody else -- either. (Not that I blame them.)

    Finally I came here, to the blog, and this post mentions in passing that free users get 2GB.

    A lot of users won't bother to look that hard. And they won't bother to sign up for an online storage service that won't even tell them how much space they get.
  • JJ Jr · 1 year ago
    @JJ-
    Not only that, but there is only one mention (almost in passing) about any type of security in use. It's not unreasonable to expect that some people will want to sync up some high-security info (aside from the standard security pics, contacts, work files, etc) and a little more info or explanation on what and how security is achieved seems necessary. It has the potential to be a great product, but right now I just can't get enough info from their site.
  • Michael · 1 year ago
    JJ,

    The connection to dropbox is secured using SSL and the data is stored encrypted using AES256

    This is so damn useful!!
  • Jeff Judge · 1 year ago
    I've been using the service for months and continue to love it. Thank you so much for creating it, and congratulations on the public launch. Now get back to those comfy chairs and code :)
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Amazing!! Amazing!! I've been using it and just amazed! Pretty Neat!
  • Studiomedical · 1 year ago
    Thanks for developing a great product, I heard about Dropbox a few months ago on a Podcast then signed up to be notified when you releasd it on the 11th in the meantime a friend of mine tried Live Mesh and FoldeShare and and SyncToy we both believe that Dropbox is much easier to use and like you say "It Just Works" Can't wait for more storage space and take a little rest for yourself you guys deserve it.
  • Baumi · 1 year ago
    Please don't sell this great service to google or microsoft! It's great to have an independent data storage somewhere there in the internet cloud ... thanks guys

  • maciakl · 1 year ago
    I'm thrilled that you now have a working Linux client but I'm really disappointed that it relies on nautilus. What about millions of us KDE users? Do you have any plans for making a Dolphin/Konquerror plugin as well?

    won't MSFT mesh kill this?

    or for that matter the million other alternatives in this space?

    also with storage getting cheaper, is that how you are making your margins?

    I couldn't install dropbox.
    Maybe... I use Windows Vista, that's why I couldn't install it.
    I really want to know how I can solve this problem.

    In a word: awesome. I see no reason why I won't be upgrading to a 50 gig box. This is something that seems like it should have been invented a long time ago.
  • bugsnw · 1 year ago
    If I had known how to code, this is exactly what I would have created. I can't believe this isn't a feature of every OS.

    It solves File Sharing issues as well.

    May you guys be rewarded handsomely! Awesome work!

    Could we get a similar scheme to nearlyfreespeech.net? Where you pay only for the storage you use. So if I need 3 gigs I wouldn't need to pay the full 9.99 a month. Ideally it would be an up-fron payment to (i.e. I give you twenty bucks, and then you put that on my account, and then it just ticks down based on my storage usage - this simplifies things for you too as you don't need to worry about missed payments etc.).
  • Jan Simmen · 1 year ago
    Would be nice if you had lets say 10 gb for 2 dollars/month or even 5.
  • Kane · 1 year ago
    I found you through an Ars Technica article by way of digg. I went to your website. I clicked on your tour, on "About Us" and even on "Policy" but found NO mention of price.

    I refuse to watch the screencast.

    So now I'm here because the comments section is the only way to contact you. Scrolling down to this comment box I happened to see some prices... but it's too late, I'm already annoyed.

    Here's a tip: If you want to sell sandwiches then you better have a god damn menu.

    (Annoyance aside, as a Linux user, this could be cool.)

    Seriously, don't make people work to give you money... that's just stupid.

    You know what, while I'm at it... I don't give money to a company that doesn't provide me with a way to contact them. The classic "Contact Us" link usually does the trick.

  • Robbin Hunter · 1 year ago
    I just want to say congratulations to the Dropbox team and especially my son, Rian. From the time I bought my first computer, Rian was about a year old. All he did was bang on the keys, his face would just light up. He loved to bang on the keys. Now, just look at him. King of the World and we are so proud of him.

    I wish a great future to you all. I haven't met any of you, but have told everyone about dropbox and your journey.

    Love

    Great tool. I found nothing i actually liked that much.
    But there is one killer feature missing:

    Support for other folders than the "dropbox" (including network shares)

    If thats in, i happily buy more space.
    What do you say?

    Cheers,

    P.s.: By the way....its fantastic that DB runs on Windows Servers.....very nice. Please don't stop supporting this.
  • No Customer · 1 year ago
    A closed-source daemon to sync my data? Are you serious? Its bad enough that i don't know whats going on on your server, but i don't see any point in using a closed source daemon.

    Your offering is a joke, the cheapest webhosting and some scripts who crypt my data and then use rsync over ssh is more trustworthy and useful.
  • JohnJamesJacoby · 1 year ago
    Hey guys, looks promising but I've run into a bit of a snaffoo...

    When I try to run the install from the currently available download, I receive an error message that says "Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed."

    I'm thinking this may be as a result of me having a few non-essential Windows XP services disabled. Is it possible to outline the services required to be active to run Dropbox?
  • Marcamillion · 1 year ago
    When you launch the 50GB version, will there also be a bigger version too? Or just 50GB?
  • a.k.a. · 1 year ago
    Oh well. I was all set to go with DropBox, based on lots of praise, but the price killed the deal.

    I'm no ueber-downloader or power user, but I do need a complete off-site backup for peace of mind. Since I'm gradually getting rid of my CDs, my backup will max out down the road at about 500GB, I'm estimating. (I'd like to do a complete image of my 2 drives as well.) I'm sorry to be stating the cold, hard facts, but $10/mo for 50GB is nonsense -- just way overpriced. ElephantDrive and KeepIt will do $5/mo for unlimited storage (1TB+). Their GUIs are very functional. And ED uses Amazon, which isn't going to be closing shop anytime soon.

    Good luck to you guys, but I don't understand why you don't alter your revenue model to attract all the users who are clamoring for no-hassle system backups.

    Your files are transferred over SSL and encrypted using AES256 (the same standards used by banks/financial institutions with your data), so you can rest assured that your files are safe :)

    Could you add a 25GB plan for 49.99/year?? That would be very appealing for a lot people, including me. I just want to sync my Documents folders across 2 computers, so far I've been using my iDisk and is cumbersome to put it mildly. Many times I get this Last Sync Failed error, and more than once I had to download again all the information which can take hours.
  • Islam Farouk · 1 year ago
    Hi there,
    Its really a great service but I would like to know about security features you provide, how my data is stored on your servers and weather the transfer protocol is secured or not?
    Is the security mechanisms you follow for a free account the same as the payed one?
    Thank you.

    Drop Box Guys-
    Just wanted to give you mad props. I'm a creative volunteer for a church in Charlotte NC. Within our all volunteer creative team we have two graphic artist, a photographer, two video editors, a film industry vetran, and a photographer.

    At any given time the number of emails moving back and forth, and trying to remember who has what version of what work in progress made things quite a challenge.

    Drop Box has streamlined our workflow, increased our productivity, and brought a new level of colorabation to our team.

    Great product. Like many, I'm already transitioning from MobileMe to DropBox. My only "complaint" is storage. A 50 GB dropbox is great, but I'd like to see a 100 GB for $100/year. To really use the service completely, I want my music and photos in my DropBox too!

    I don't think "sticking" any copy protected content up is a good idea, you might get banned as you do not own the rights to that material (unless you bought it, but there is no way of proving).
