On: I'm not an enterpreneur, I'm a dirty hack

The dropbox comment sounds a little cheap. Making $12k and going out of your way to avoid paying $10 for a quality app?

The only webservice I pay for is DabbleDB. Dropbox I can live with the restriction, but you absolutely need a database when you need to track a large amount of items.

I'm REALLY suprised that there are not cheaper alternatives to DabbleDB - if there had been anything a bit cheaper or a bit more ajaxified, I'd have gone for it.

Also, the main reason I don't pay for dropbox is that you need to pay for EACH user! So at just 5 users I'm paying $50 a month. That's crazy wasted money!

If you are only sharing a subset of folders that are under the free limit, I'm pretty sure the other side can still use the free account.

I'm doing this with a friend right now, I have the paid account and am using 30+GB, he has a free account, and we share just the folders we need to.

eh incentives. we all do this to some degree on a daily basis. e.g. downloading your favorite song for free instead of paying .99 for it on itunes, etc.
