Title: Tip for a really nifty and useful internet service
Post by: Graum Trolle on September 12, 2010, 06:41:57 pm
Ahoy there!

I just figured I'd share something that I just came across last week and that has made me very happy. Dropbox is a great service that gives you 2gb free online storage space, more then enough for another 13 years of UO reports and screenshots. Whats really cool though is how it handles the files, as its all done with a little program that integrates with Windows, so rather then using FTP programs or such to upload pictures, or things like imageshack, you just drop the files in a specific dropbox folder on your harddrive and it syncs it with the storage for your dropbox account. You can then simply right-click a file and there is an option to copy the public link to that file which can be easily added to a report or whatever. All very nice and nifty.

A great tip for anyone taking and hosting lots of screenshots. :)

That's excellent! I use a .mac account at work which gives you 50gb for £60 a year so this for home is great! It's much easier than using FTP or imageshack etc which eventually lose/remove images.
