Dropbox has announced an extra 3 gigs free to “.edu” users. The conditions are outlined on this \u00a0promotional page<\/a>. As I understand the “basics”, you must establish an account with an .edu or identify your existing account to Dropbox indicating you also have a valid edu address. Your institution must register at least 25 individuals in this fashion. I must say I had some difficulty comprehending the rules for the additional levels.<\/p>\n

Each Eligible Higher Education Institution will be assigned three numerical thresholds. These numerical thresholds will be different for each Eligible Higher Education Institution because the number of points required to reach a threshold has been statistically normalized to account for the fact that schools with larger enrollments are able to earn points faster than schools with smaller enrollments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have 5 gigs already although I used a gmail address to register (must have been another promotion). I will make the effort because it will help get my institution past the minimum.<\/p>\n
