Will Dropbox increase free storage limit now that Yandex Disk launched with 10G free storage?
-
Yandex just launched Yandex.Disk, a Russian clone of Dropbox with 10G of free storage (3G on signup, 3G on software install on your PC/Mac, 2G on file upload and 2G on sending a referral email to a friend). http://disk.yandex.com/ Granted, the service is only in Russian, but it definitely ups the ante on the "free cloud storage" arms race. Just wondering if Dropbox will have to up its free storage limit to compete, especially with Google Drive coming out soon, and Microsoft doing same offering.

Dropbox recently increased the amount of storage you got for referals, you can now get up to 16GB for free: http://blog.dropbox.com/?p=1096

The power behind dropbox isn't just the amount of storage space. It's how everything JUST WORKS! I do not receive error messages, limits on file sizes and other shenanigans that the competing products always seem to come up with! It's a breeze to upload, download, share and link files. IT JUST WORKS. No wonder Apple tried to buy them.

I don't think they will increase the space that you get out-of-the-box, but they are now letting users get up to 16GB via referrals - this was previously limited to university students. The best thing about Dropobx, as mentions is that IT JUST WORKS. Also, Dropbox has a great reputation and users will keep coming for awhile, no matter what.

In contrast, they will increase the space in this month because at least two new competitors comes. The Google Drive and new Microsoft SkyDrive, so I think they will increase their space to compete with those. Although the amount of storage is good now and also it's is not a good measure to be a better service, it's a really good advertising point and google and microsoft will use it. And unfortunately most of the people even technical people can't understand the advantages of Dropbox and Google convince them by more storage! So it would be great if Dropbox increase the storage to be in competition even in term of storage.
