Here is another referral link for the extra 250MP with your new 2 gig Dropbox account if you need it.

Dougle :

I have had some difficulty with links in that i cant link out of the dropbox folder, most apps when they write there image,xml,db file unlink the files first, this is also the case with dropboxd:

~/.face -> ~/Dropbox/.face on two machines

If i change the image no probs dropbox syncs it but i move to the other machine and ~/Dropbox/.face is no longer a link, it’s a new file created in new disk space.

Any Ideas?

Dougle, unfortunately I don’t really know why.

What I would recommend if you want to sync things outside the Dropbox folder, is to look in to symbolic links (these work on Linux/OS X…Windows’ method is slightly different).

Sorry I can’t be of any further help

If you sign up for dropbox by clicking the link Here 250mb will be added to both of our accounts plus the standard 2gigs. We both win!

you can use mine if you want to

That’s a good point, duly noted.

And I appreciate your decision to not use that link. For what it’s worth, I no longer get extra storage for referrals, as there is a limit on the amount they give.

Wait, if I use the link, I will get more space?
I think your last line should read
“…you haven’t already, following this link will (according to Dropbox) get *ME* a little bit more space”?

Actually, from the Dropbox referrals page:
“Once your friend starts using Dropbox, you’ll both get extra space. Hooray!”
@ jldugger:
I was using OS X at the time of writing, so I used the OS X manpage. I’ve fixed that now though, thanks for point it out

Still, you should been more straight forward and mention that you would get some extra storage yourself. Since you failed to do that, I don’t feel I can trust you, so I’ll specifically *not* use your link, though I’m otherwise pretty sure I would have.

I just used your referral link! thanks!

Antonio, I have used ln before a number of times actually.

The terms I described above to use ln were what I used in this specific instance.
