I want to sync all my photos and other stuff between my two computers, I'd use Dropbox but I only have 2GB of storage (not nearly enough xD) so I'm looking for something else to use. The main thing I need is desktop integration, like in Dropbox it makes a folder and when you put items in said folder, it syncs it to your account automatically. I have a Box.net account with 50GB of storage, but in order to get the desktop integration stuff I have to have a premium account, which cost money, I don't have money. So what is another service I could use? It needs to be free, have at least 10GB storage (I could settle for like 5GB, but I'd rather have a minimum of 10GB), and have desktop integration.

Too bad you didn't get in on Dropbox's promo that gives you up to 5GB free in 500MB increments for auto-uploading pictures and videos from a camera. I've got almost 8GB with Dropbox now for free. IDK any good alternatives.

I think I'm at 16GB on dropbox now :P It's by far the best for general use. Just refer friends and look for all their offers!

I like this, especially since I can easily get more space for free. All I'm doing is opening an incognito windows with Chrome, using the invite link, entering a username and pass, and boom, 1GB free. It is so stupid that they let this happen lmao

hmm, well I got 20GB on there now lol, and tried to sync my pictures folder using the desktop app, and it says one gallery can only have 200 items. That sucks, I've got way more than 200 items in there, guess I'll have to separate everything :/

I think I'll just copy over my existing pictures via USB and use Dropbox for anything new. I think that would be easiest. Minus is nice, but it's not exactly what I wanted.

Minus does? That could come in handy, hmmm, now that I think about it I might use Minus. I could pretty much have unlimited storage if I keep doing the invite thingy lmao. Yea, I don't think 2GB with Dropbox will last too long

This is what my Dropbox looks like right now. The more effort you put in, the more you get back with it :)
