Show HN: Coldcrate, large short-term burst storage using the Dropbox API
- ninetax 14y agoHey, I made this last night while procrastinating. It was just a little project to learn a bit about the Dropbox api.
- Dystopian 14y agoIt's a pretty cool little hack. Nice usage of the API. It's not very respectful though towards the limits to their service, especially since they use S3[1] as part of their backend - :. rampant usage of this type of tool could definitely put a dent in their bottom line (bandwidth costs / etc.) [1] https://www.dropbox.com/help/7/en https://www.dropbox.com/help/7/en
- ninetax 14y agoThanks, yes I realized that if everyone started using this it would not be fun for dropbox, but from what I have just been testing it on I am pretty sure they have measures in place to limit the undo space. But in any case, it's not my brightest hack. Any ideas for a cooler project to procrastinate with?
