I wasn't on HN at the time but I do remember being an early user of Dropbox, and I remember being totally blown away on first use. So I looked into my email to see when I signed up, it was 14 months after this post. I also found a gtalk chat log with the friend that recommended it, and it looks like my memory is quite wrong, I was just as skeptical as much of the linked HN thread: >the thing about 2gb dropbox >is i carry 6gb on my keychain >and 8gb on my phone >and i don't exactly trust them with important data >also my iphone has shared folders that look just like any other computer on my network >the keychain is kind of a hassle though and i mostly don't use it, i should probably throw it away
