I agree. I actually proposed this idea a while back but never went through with the implementation. I hope Dropbox turns a blind eye to this because I think its fair use of Dropbox. Instead of someone sending you the file and then you adding it to Dropbox manually, you can just send the hash for the file and receive without P2P. This is where the world of online storage might head anyways.

- power78 15y agoAgain, that requires you to: A) move the files to the public folder B) watch out for bandwidth limits on the public folder C) give your Dropbox account ID to everyone as it is tied directly to the URL With this method, you get anonymous file transfers without bandwidth limits
- crocowhile 15y ago>With this method, you get anonymous file transfers without bandwidth limits Yes, only if dropbox let you do that. They can make you stop with a fix in 5 minutes and they will do it very soon.
- bruceboughton 15y ago>> B) watch out for bandwidth limits on the public folder Why would Dropbox want to let you circumvent bandwidth limits on your public folder?
