    I did not know that
    there was a dropbox haiku
    contest, I want in

    Please :)
    (EDIT: I already have an account on Dropbox, using it with my family and friends but I would kill for a Linux version :) )
  • Luís · 1 year ago
    Yeah, neither did I
    My Linux box is sobbing
    wants its data safe!

    :-)
  • uber0ne · 1 year ago
    Dang the second I noticed this feed I came here and the invites are already gone?
  • Ted Sbardella · 1 year ago
    It is not fair this,

  • rd1024 · 1 year ago
    A linux client
    to sync my files across my
    boxes, let me join!

    Got holiday reel.
    Whole family is waiting
    For vacation bling.

  • Dix-Huit · 1 year ago

    Now, can I have an invite please?
  • mjlange · 1 year ago
    Drop Windows PC in a box
    Drop kick that box
    Unbox new Mac

    My 2 cents
  • Dr Boo · 1 year ago
    My entry is below:

    Dropbox please have me,
    I need data on the hop,
    With my new laptop.

    It's a true story.... Enjoy
  • xgirl30 · 1 year ago
    Is it too late to enter a Haiku?

    Two websites
    run on multiple computers and drives
    secure storage needed
  • MASA · 1 year ago
    Why am I not here?
  • MagicYoyo · 1 year ago

    of these sync ans backup softs

    Thanks...
  • richardreeve · 1 year ago
    Hmm, only just heard of this today, but in case it's not too late:

    unison freed me
    of schemes too poor or complex
    but you offer more
  • Patrick · 1 year ago
    Solar prestige a gammon
    Kool kar kyrie kay salmon
    Hair ring molassis abounding
    Common lap kitch sardin a poor floundin

    I guess that's not what you're looking for right?

  • Kevin Cunningham · 1 year ago
    I uninstalled dropbox and now I can't reinstall it . I get dll errors while trying to. One reads "The specified module could not be found. LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed" as well as "PYTHON25.DLL" error.
  • Mathias · 1 year ago
    Ubuntu's so good
    Only OS I will boot
    Feel misunderstood
  • adam_dropbox · 1 year ago
    corporate slime balls
    license deals, lock ins, and greed
    give me linux please
  • liznedarierref · 1 year ago
    I've got the email from DropBox to create an account, but my Thunderbird deleted the message before I could create my account :(

    What can I do? Can you guys resend my account for beta testing?
  • Kelly · 1 year ago
    Five Seven Five Oh!
    So, you want a haiku poem?
    I want my DropBox!
  • natanya4 · 1 year ago
    Can I get an invite, please? thanks in advance
  • Alex Beamish · 1 year ago
    My stuff needs somewhere / I hope I get dropbox soon / Friday would be nice.
  • Jack Nerula · 1 year ago
    A Beta invite
    Happiness overwhelming
    No linux, crying
  • loren · 1 year ago
    while Dropbox sings its
    'scuse me while I kiss the sky!
    I whine, cry... account?
  • Scott Kellum · 1 year ago
    So, it has been weeks...
    Where is the Linux client?
  • Qrees · 1 year ago
    wating for dropbox
    makes my linux very sad
    and furiously mad

    (ok... I'm not good poet, but I'd like to test alpha version ;) )
  • emanaton · 1 year ago
    Greetings awesome dropbox team!

    I've received an invite from a workmate of mine, but it appears from the blog that the linux app is only available for through this haiku contest, right? If not, where does one go to snag it? If so... well...

    Linux lights the way
    past the close source cathedral;
    ubuntu is god.

    ... wow... is my preference showing through there just a tad?
  • boldox · 1 year ago
    I must write haiku
    Pero hablo español
    conchesumadre!

    lolz :P
    i have a beta account but i only use ubuntu... i hope this spanish-haiku works :D
  • Chris · 1 year ago
    Common you gotta let more invites out, i'm a legal student working on an openSUSE desktop and a Macbook Pro. I need to have a kick ass service like this that caters to linux. I will pay for it, i don't care!
  • Qrees · 1 year ago
    Anyway I could participate in alpha version of dropbox for Linux? I use mostly Linux, but I can't sue dropbox (my haiku is somewhere up).

    I've been using svn also, but dropbox is better for some tasks and mush easier to use.
  • ken · 1 year ago
    whats going on here... no post on updates or anything in over 6 weeks.... look at your may 13 post.... "promise to communicate more frequently"
  • Over It · 1 year ago
    Getting a bit sick of trying to get in. Think I'll forget it and find another option. You guys are gonna blow it if you don't hurry up: competitors are springing up everywhere and are accepting new accounts!
  • Qrees · 1 year ago
    The problem is that there is no simmilar software available for Linux. There is avn, rsync etc. but all require much more time and don't work in background.
  • tim · 1 year ago
    JungleDisk? Don't think it has public sharing, but for an offsite net backup it's pretty good. Not free, but uses Amazon's S3 storage and prices are peanuts for small use (I pay about 15 cents a month I think!).
  • florent · 1 year ago
    Coming soon ?

    month?
    Price?
  • Qrees · 1 year ago
    Linux version is already available.
  • lapino · 1 year ago
    But it doesn't work if you don't have some kind of "special invitation" apparently. I guess that means some more waiting :(

    This whole thing is getting pathetic... No news on the blog whatsoever, no replies on the comments, no invites... Seems pretty dead to me. Please let me know so I can save my time by finally stopping to check the website...

    Blog looks dead, but what do you need blog for when linux client is already available and there are news on forum everyday?

    I wish I can write a haiku, I always find it so difficult ...
    I love the first one:

    What’s that, linux man?
    rsync got you down? that’s sad
    I can has dropbox?

    So great Adam H.!
  • dwighthines · 1 year ago
    How do I uninstall dropbox. There are some conflicts with my installing some other open source programs, so I need to uninstall all of dropbox.
