Tom,

Great video! i just wanted to add a couple things;

-Using the referral link means that you AND the person you refer both get the bonus 250MB of space.

-The Dropbox folder on your mac is actually a real folder, and all the files in it are actually on your computer.

-You didn't mention restores - Dropbox can restore deleted files or previous file revisions via the website. Files are kept for 30 days for free accounts, or forever for people with pack-rat.

Thanks again!

-Drea @ dropbox :)

Hi Drea. Wow, that is fantastic, I didn't realise both members enjoyed the extra 250MB of space!

Also, thanks for clarifying that the Dropbox folder is actually a real folder!

Thanks for the extra information and clarification, apologies that I missed some of it out. It's hard to remember to fit everything in with a 10 minute time limit on videos hehe!

Also, thanks for the great service. Dropbox is a life saver!
