50GB free online storage from #Dropbox ? #megajump

Are you a keen Dropbox user? We are!

Do you find the free storage limit restrictive? We do!

Even if you refer your friends, the maximum free space available to the average Joe is just 18Gb, which isn't going to last long in the modern age.  What we want is more space... free. So what do we do?

Sign up to Mega.... https://mega.co.nz

Mega are the new kids on the block and are offering 50GB of free storage  to everyone.  Be warned that size is not everything though, currently Mega is very much a browser only service (although very slick) and it does not have the great desktop / mobile apps to keep everything in sync that Dropbox offers, although these are being promised.

However, there are two possible outcomes here.

1. Dropbox improves its offering and provides its users with more space.  Moving from a useful tool to an essential service.

2. Mega improves their feature-set and we all migrate.

Either way we are all winners.

Its time for the #megajump
