I know that there are many people already using dropbox out there.
Most of you will know as well, that you can extend your free space by referring people. Usually you'll get 250 MB extra per referral. I just discovered however, that it's possible to double this extra space to 500 MB. This works for new referrals AND for already referred people!
The maximum free space thereby increases to great 16 GB!
What you have to:
1. You'll need a dropbox account. Don't have one yet? Sign up here: www.dropbox.com (http://db.tt/oht8CPM)
(Of course you don't need to use my reflink. You can simply visit the website and sign up. But firstly I'd really be thankful for using it and secondly you'll get another 250 MB if you use a reflink.)
2. You'll need an educational e-mail adress. It doesn't need to end with .edu though. Don't have one? Search for free educational e-mail adresses. If you understand german you could e.g. sign up with www.uni.de EDIT: uni.de adresses seem not to be accepted by dropbox anymore. Try looking for alternatives if you don't have an educational adress yet.
3. Log in to your existing dropbox account. Then enter https://www.dropbox.com/edu into your browser. On the website enter your (educational) e-mail and confirm the sent e-mail.
Done. Your free space per referral should now be doubled.
Are you sure that it's 16 GB? Wouldn't it be 14 GB if you get double the space since you have 2 GB at the beginning and can get only 6 GB extra?
I haven't gotten that far yet. I believe they simply double all space for any address that uses a .edu
That's what I think, too, but the limit is still 8 GB.
I found a very informative post. It tells you how to get up to 20 GB (actually 19 GB since on of the offers has expired).

Well we can only get 19gb it looks like since this
"Complete Dropquest (available until 29-Jan-2011) (+1 GB)"
