Has anyone found that it is invasive to your operating system?

My boss hates it and doesn’t understand why Growl is automatically downloaded when dropbox is downloaded?

I love it and I am trying to convince her it is the best thing for our company. Any tips or answers as to why this would have happened?

Is this system truly invasive?

Reply from Peter: I don’t find it invasive. Growl is used for notifications: whenever a file is updated, Dropbox will notify you with a Growl dialog. (And this can be turned off in the Dropbox settings.)

excellent, Your post is very useful and resolve my problem. I will use it, but your storage space is very limited. You need to increase it. If you could make 3 GB for free version that will make more popular. Let me try it and if it is successful then i will purchase a whole year package.

Thanks for the tip, Dave! I just watched the overview video and Syncplicity is also quite neat, with extra features such as Google Docs and Facebook photo integration. The downside is that it currently only has a Windows client. Still, it’s something to keep an eye on for sure.

Not to divert attention to another service, but for those of you who can’t get an invite check out www.syncplicity.com . It’s a free beta service open to the public, and offers similar service. I currently have both that and Dropbox running and am testing out both. I’m not yet sure which one I like better, but as they approach release I will probably post a dual review somewhere.

Thanks for pointing that out, JK. I’ve now fixed the link.

! The link to dropbox in the first sentence is busted. It links to http://www.getdropbox/ instead of http://www.getdropbox.com.
