  A referral link to Dropbox.com hidden behind a URL shortener. :/ Unfortunately, I don't have enough karma to downvote you. Hopefully someone else will oblige.

    I think it should have been prominently labelled as a referral link, but in GilK's defense the URL shortener is Dropbox's own one and that's what all their referral links look like. I don't think you can visually distinguish a referral links from a file sharing link.

      That's barely a defense since it just links to dropbox.com, not to an invitation as he claims. It's clearly intended to deceive.

Wow, the list of issues really highlights how much polish had to go into the product to get rid of edge cases. They care about stuff like: "The Galaxy Nexus takes a lot of time to connect on OS X because it likes to pretend that every image on the device is a photograph. We now estimate how long it's going to take and show you that in the progress bar but it's usually in the order of minutes. We're working to see if this can be improved". That's some serious dedication to a good user experience.

Some people had to wait for a while before actually getting the space bonus. I only got mine this morning. This link redirects to the topic with the latest beta version: http://forums.dropbox.com/forum-build.php http://forums.dropbox.com/forum-build.php
