Title: Dropbox for demo's
Post by: Cocainee Vendetta on June 26, 2013, 06:23:32 pm
Ok since we upload the demo's to ads-full websites, some are blocked, some can't visit/download from them I got a good idea for sharing/uploading demos.

Dropbox.com

We can open an account under ambrossia, create a shared folder; to share with the admins. Once we upload a demo, everyone will be able to download and access it with ease.

Another benefit of this is, if people download the dropbox desktop app, which creates a cloud folder on your documents, as soon as somebody uploads a demo/file, it will be on your dropbox folder (your computer) straight away.

What you think?

Support for this idea.
Its also when someone is banned and the admin cant come the demo is always there.

Exactly.. Can also just keep the demos for as long as you want :) Just move them from your steamapps folder to the shared folder.. Not going to fill your pc up with MB :)

If that automatically downloads all demos to your pc, won't it make lack of storage in your computer after a while ?

However everything else except the desktop app. is ok with me.

No.
Its a cloud system and its just a shortcut for the cloud storage. Doesnt affect your pc space.

The app just installs a cloud folder on your user area, nothing else by the way.

You get more space, when you invite people to register and they do, if you download desktop app, mobile app etc... I got 3.5 GB at the moment.

So if we do this, we will invite all admins. Each registration will give extra 500 MB :) (I think the max you can get with this method is 16 GB  8))

If even I think that Dropbox business idea is great, I can't see any problems with current mediafire service.

well, to be honest, if every admin upload his own demo is ok using mediafire or any other website, easy for donwload

dropbox could be usefull maybe for unban panel or something.....
