I Got DropBox Invites — Who Wants One?

by Tony Hung on March 11, 2008

Update: March 14, 2008
Sorry guys, it looks like the backdoor has closed. :P I am closing the comments, but if you want to be on the list in case it ever opens again, or in case I get any other invites or goodies to other Web2.0 Applications, just leave your email (I promise not to sell your email or to spam you etc etc).

Thanks for stopping by! :)


____________________________

So there’s a bit of a “backdoor” way to get a DropBox invite, and for the moment, it still seems to work. If you’re interested in having an invite, just leave a comment and when you do, make sure you that you leave your email address (where it says to leave an email address — not in the content area) so that I can add you.

What I’ll do is create a single shared folder on my account and “share” this folder with whoever wants an invite. What happens is that everyone who I share this folder with automatically gets an account (please do NOT upload anything to this shared folder!)

I don’t know how long this will work for, as the DropBox team is clearly being deluged with new accounts, and new accounts are being restricted to 5 gig “beta” accounts (when I signed on, it was 10 gigs).

Good luck!

I would love an invite if you don’t mind.

Oh, and FYI it’s getdropbox.com. Last time I’ve checked you link to dropbox.com.

Cheers,

Alex.

Hi guys,

Tony hung, here, the guy behind DeepJiveInterests.

I tried to get as many of you in as I could, but it looks like the backdoor is closed.

If you’re interested in any more invites to any other “secret” or closed “beta” applications, just leave your name in the form at the top of this post
http://www.deepjiveinterests.com/2008/03/11/i-got-dropbox-invites-who-wants-one

And I’ll try and sneak you in when I can.
Cheers
Tony Hung.
