http://www.getdropbox.com/login#register
I see now that the same page with the httpS prefix also works.

I got to it by a link or going to the forums page.

The main page does use https.

I’ll open an account…

When I go to the registration page it looks like it’s secured (https). Can you give me a URL?

I wanted to start using the service.
Just started filling out the details for a new account that I saw that the details fillings is not secured, nor does the login itself.
Kind of a surprise…

Good point about the burning. Syncing is also nice, but somehow 10$ a month sounds expensive. I guess i need to get used to the idea. Besides, when u stop paying the data is gone i guess..

I know it’s cheaper, with the HD solution everything is gone if the house burns down. And also you don’t get the automatics syncing to all computers, which I really like. Imagine all your pictures available on any of your computers, including the latest changes.

I have stuff scattered across 3 computers and I didn’t even mention my Windows virtual machine that contains my old computer. It’s all a big mess and I hope this will help me clear it up. If it doesn’t, it’s easy to stop the subscription… I thought about this too – it’s not as sticky as deduplicaion :)

I recently started thinking about backup too (wedding pics ;)). It looks like external HD (or even two of those) which will be plugged in once a week for backup and unplugged is a cheaper solution, 300GB is about 100$.
