I second Bridgette's recommendation, and just thought I'd add that if you're like me and already have a Dropbox account with a non-UMD email address, you can still get the extra space.  You just have to add your UMD email to your account information.  The current UMD bonus is 8GB free for two years.

Currently, we are at 12.8GB and might reach 15GB - this is a massive increase over the 2GB they had for free until a few months ago. I'm sure this is of interest to everyone in the department, so all you have to do is go to the link below and sign-up (using your Maryland or Econ address).
