Get 1GB Free DropBox Space With DropBox Quest 2011 – WalkThrough

Written by Jack Cola

If you don’t have DropBox already (or you don’t know what it is), you should get it. Basically, it allows you to store, share, and sync you files in the cloud and on your other computers. DropBox is one of the main sites I covered in my 5 Document Sharing and Storage Websites To Make Your Life Easier. Visit the post and you can learn more on the power of DropBox.

But for now, I am going to walk you through how you can get 1GB of free extra space on your DropBox account through DropBox’s DropQuest 2011.

Note: If you don’t already have a DropBox account, you can get one by clicking here which will also give you an extra 250mb of space!
