Dropbox is a great online storage, and backfire introduced me to it. You only have 2 gbs to start with though... And considering just how much music I have, its not really that good for back up of
everything. The great thing though, is if I get more people to install it, i get more storage space. Every person that I invite to Dropbox, I get 250mb (up to 8 gbs!)
So maybe if you don't have a dropbox, you could kindly install it from this:

Since its an invite, you get an extra 250mbs. Thanks for helping if you click the link. Another thanks if you bothered looking.
(would this go in general?)
Should probably go into the computer section.

I seriously think that if you want a backup service, get a real one. I have Dropbox and I LOVE it, but a backup service it ain't. It's a cloud sharing system- useful for sharing a single document with multiple friends and keeping it updated simultaneously. It's good for group projects and such (in fact, a collaborative group is the reason I first got it), and can even be used as a filesharing service. But backup? I mean, I SUPPOSE it can act like that, but that's not really its primary purpose. Speaking of which- the email I used is ensign.epic@gmail.com.
Technically brbu has had a dropbox for years but nobody does stuff with that folder.

i have a friend, his name is google, he tells me shit
There is a brbu drop box from back in this thread derp the thread seems to be gone.
Well anyway brbu had a shared folder on drop box from way back called BRBU ND.
Take pictures of stuff on phone, upload to dropbox right then and there, got em on my computer before I get back. Yea, dropbox is pretty awesome. They got apps for iOS and Android and I think even Blackberry or Windows OS or something.
Anyways, while I'm at it. Gunna go and leave
This Referral Link here. Remember, sign up through this, and we both get an extra 250mb of space. Mutual benefits. Sounds good, yes? Why me other than him? Because if you weren't convinced to get one until you got here, you don't have to scroll all the way back up to click on his link. Makes it just that much easier.

You know, as against you are from people using this as a backup, as soon as John asked you what other service to use that is free, you told him to Google it, if you aren't willing to help and educate people about the thing you are "so" against, then don't fucking bitch and whine about it.

The difference between this and that, is your not telling them what to use, you are only telling them that it is wrong, not telling them what else to use.

actually i just did by agreeing with duck; there is no such thing as a free online backup. also telling him to use google is an acceptable answer, as i am assuming he is a cogent human being with the functions to use his mind.
