What info do you get from Facebook? It's not that I don't trust you, I already trust you guys with all my files, but I'm interested. I also don't get why I'd want to post to Facebook from within Dropbox, got any cool use cases I'm missing?
5TB sounds good, but how long does that take to sync? I've got about 20GB in mine now I think and syncing it to a new computer seems like it would take several days (I get the "grab a snickers" message). I usually start of a new machine my rsyncing stuff over so not the end of the world, but it would be useful to download stuff at a speed resembling what my, not that great, connection can handle.
Dropbox rules by the way, it's changed how I use my computers :)
- ivankirigin 16y agoDropbox syncs over a LAN if available and the long sync time is only for initialization. When I get a new computer, I'll just make sure to have the old computer there. This is part of the process of getting a new one already, but people need to move stuff over manually sometimes. As far as what you can do today with facebook, if you download the beta builds from the forums you can get access to a new sharing model. You can publish links of files to facebook & twitter. This page will change a lot when we launch this properly, but you can see what i mean: https://www.dropbox.com/s/owdlzphfhiw2ao4/koalabox.PNG https://www.dropbox.com/s/owdlzphfhiw2ao4/koalabox.PNG Facebook and twitter are great for sharing, so it makes sense for Dropbox to leverage them when people want to share files. Photos is a good example application where sharing often means pushing to a social network.
