Up to 5GB of additional free space on Dropbox

You can get up to 5GB of additional free space on Dropbox for trying their current beta version. I installed it on 2 machines with no troubles. The details are in their forum post forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=54396&replies=243. It is "beta" software, so be sure to make a copy of your current Dropbox content before installing the new version. Once you install it, just attach a camera or a flash drive with photos and choose "Dropbox" in Autoplay dialog. For every 500MB of photo/video content you let Dropbox upload this way, you get 500MB free space (up to 5GB total). After Dropbox is done uploading, you can delete any of this extra content.
