We've been lucky enough to be able to use Dropbox in our work environment and it's been invaluable in keeping our team organized and on the same page. This is one of the few applications I truly love and hope all is going well with them.

Same here, Dropbox is an amazing tool!

I use it with 2 different companies, one just to keep data in sync with my partner and I, the other to share data with sub-contractors for client work. I also keep multiple machines of my own in sync with it so I've got my files already on my laptop automatically.

Couldn't be happier, and I hope those guys are doing awesome and up to some exciting stuff!

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  AssertionError

Crazy Arrington can't manage to snag a beta invite. Someone gave me one without me even asking, I didn't realize they were that exclusive.

I actually don't even use it...I should trade it with him for some PR. Hah.

It might be good PR to NOT give Arrington an invite. In fact I'd give everyone an invite BUT him if my startup wasn't live already.

That would be great if they had hooks in the invite code to automatically deny inviting *@techcrunch.com or something.

Secretive? I didn't realize it was hard to get invites at all. Happy to be in though: I started to depend on it big-time since it just works. I have everything from research papers to svn repositories on there. And yes, that big movie file doesn't have to be there but I had to try ;-) Thanks, good job, keep up the good work

Secretive compared to the other startups that would give the fillings out of their teeth to have Arrington talk to them.

Encryption anytime soon?

congrats to the dropbox team!
