File Sharing Site Offers 250GB Storage Free to Diggers

noozeez.com — This story is geared towards Diggers and I just signed up for it and liked the interface, and the ability to make files either private or public and send someone a download link rather than emailing a big file. 250GB free online storage...wow.

  • sandeepg, on 04/27/2008, -2/+239There's gotta be a catch somewhere..
  • protodon, on 04/27/2008, -0/+232Yaaay! I'm gonna get all my tax information and keep it here.
  • FukUrCouch, on 04/27/2008, -0/+212I wonder if T-Mobile is going to shut them down for the use of the color Magenta..
  • kylere, on 04/27/2008, -2/+2121. Start a 250Gig online storage service
    2. Wait 6 months
    3. Reveal company as front for RIAA/MPAA
    4. Profit
  • sciss0rz, on 04/27/2008, -6/+202Still not enough for the average Digg user's porn collection.
  • FallOutBoyTonto, on 04/27/2008, -0/+165signed up - "Paid until 2038" for free!
    :D
  • sononame, on 04/27/2008, -0/+158I am uncomfortable with how easy that sign up was.
  • xodex, on 04/27/2008, -1/+138Love the sign up process, Username/Password/Email.

    Done.
  • JoeSpaceTime, on 04/27/2008, -3/+133Did you just use this in an appropriate situation? Never thought I'd see the day.
  • Vhaeos, on 04/27/2008, -8/+134I'm so amazed how easily people are falling for this. There are *tons* of services who do this entirely for free, the difference is that this service is saying that diggers/redditers are getting it free, and so it's making it to the top of both Reddit and Digg. Congrats to FileDropper for the smart marketing though.
  • G-RaZoR, on 04/27/2008, -3/+107You did it wrong.

    Step 4. ???
    Step 5. Profit!
  • goldenratiophi, on 04/27/2008, -0/+102250 GB * number of diggers > amount of available space in the universe

    I don't see this working in the long run. *shrug* We'll just see how this goes.
  • laronde20, on 04/27/2008, -1/+99prostitution?

    Well *****.........
  • pzwhite125, on 04/27/2008, -1/+96They can FLY too!?! Count me the ***** in!
  • Roger, on 04/27/2008, -6/+91Store 250 gigs with some random, (potentially) fly-by-night company?

    No thanks.
  • FatLoser, on 04/27/2008, -4/+87Still not enough for the average Digg user's porn collection.
  • cyrix, on 04/27/2008, -1/+71You didn't see the fine print about first borns?
  • jdh24, on 04/27/2008, -1/+69That's why I'm signing up for 15 accounts.
  • inactive, on 04/27/2008, -0/+68we make this a standard like rapidshare with our free account and then they get customer because of our word of mouth publicity. Rapidshare gives out gold account all the time in promotional effort.
  • mark076h, on 04/27/2008, -1/+69im confused how is this for Diggers only? it seems like anyone can sign up?
  • maxyRO, on 04/27/2008, -4/+67sign me up for one

    A Gmail account? Seriously? Something's up here. I wouldn't trust this just yet.
  • tocsy, on 04/27/2008, -3/+58EXACTLY.
  • inactive, on 04/27/2008, -2/+56not dealing with those stupid cats at rapidshare or any other captcha ***** makes this superior.
  • iofthestorm, on 04/27/2008, -1/+55*only*...
  • Slices, on 04/27/2008, -2/+56Does someone want to send me a huge file to test this service?

  • nevermind13, on 04/27/2008, -0/+51Don't forget your social!
  • inactive, on 04/27/2008, -0/+49They will probably steal all the mp3s and warez you upload.
  • Grummond, on 04/27/2008, -0/+49They, together with the canadians, signed up to get some of the internet money.
    Should be coming real soon.
  • Dokument, on 04/27/2008, -0/+49ITS A TRAP
  • dayvideg, on 04/27/2008, -1/+47i signed up tried it out but i don't see how they are going to make any money
  • saxreturns, on 04/27/2008, -4/+50A 250 GB hard drive isn't exactly expensive these days...
  • inactive, on 04/27/2008, -2/+47how do you think google makes money?
  • chungmaster, on 04/27/2008, -2/+46Yeah I think this is a trap. Especially since they are advertising towards the social networking crowd. Think about it. Who uses these sites? Teens do. Who is responsible for most of the piracy...? Also, Digg and Reddit seem to have a lot of pirates. In fact, I'm pretty sure everyone here has downloaded illegally. So why give free accounts to only these social networking sites?
  • Grummond, on 04/27/2008, -2/+45Yeah I'm thinking of joining Digg as well, just for this offer.
  • gavin422, on 04/28/2008, -0/+43Hold on a minute. Do a WHOIS on this site.

    http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=filedropper&t ...

    It's registered to a residential address using namecheap. The site owner is using a free Gmail address. That, and no CAPTCHA, and no email verification, and the fax is listed as "+15555555555". All this makes me very suspicious. Just don't use a password that you've used before, or you might get owned before the 15th.
  • schlottj, on 04/27/2008, -2/+44welcome to the riaa/mpaa's new easy pirate catching website
  • JoeSpaceTime, on 04/27/2008, -1/+42Yerright.
  • jamwil87, on 04/28/2008, -0/+38***** that, I'm storing my first born child on it.
  • erhanaltay, on 04/27/2008, -0/+38Any one CAN sign up.. its called advertising. By sayings its for Diggers only, it gets to the top of Digg aka tons of free customers...
  • Gutterpunk, on 04/27/2008, -4/+41Direct from Reddit's frontpage :
    "File Sharing Site Offers 250GB Storage Free to Reddit Users"
    Aren't we special!
  • NeoNightmareX, on 04/27/2008, -1/+38There is a catch. You can only upload 5gb per file.
    /s
  • SiRwhilms, on 04/27/2008, -0/+36Oh look, there isn't a privacy policy. Just throwing that out there.
  • cerealjynx, on 04/27/2008, -0/+36I thought it was something great until I tried to tell people about it.
    'hey here's a 250GB online storage site with special free signup ...my god I have become a robot.'
