A nice side benefit of this was discovering https://www.dropbox.com/edu, which doubles your space bonus from all referrals. I'm at 13.8gb now with a free account.
And I am at, what I think is, the current 20GB maximum. Weeeee :)
Can't see how I would use that space though. It is too little space too keep my music, video or photos, and too much to store anything else.
I symlink all the music I care about into Dropbox, which gives me access to the music I listen to most at my office and on the road, but doesn't mean Dropbox hsa to have sufficient space to store ALL of my music. This hybrid works well for me personally.
yeah i store all of my materials for school, including high res versions of all of my textbooks so I can look them up and print things if needed. Also about 2 gb of audio lectures that are not otherwise mirrored online. I wish it had the space to store all my music, but I don't really have the money at the moment for a paid account. someday.
I wasn't able to solve a couple of puzzles without the walkthrough, but am wondering about the solutions anyway. Will the Dropbox team or anyone else post some explanations afterwards?
Whew. That was exhilarating. And damn OS X Preview and Color Meter for not showing the right colors. (I was too late for any of the prizes but I’m very happy about the 1GB. Oh, and the scavenger hunt itself was also fun and cleverly designed.)
Ah, this really bugs me everyday... anyone know how to get round this? Currently I strip out all color profile data, but don't know if thats the "right thing to do" for images going online.
Definitely didn't include the #. Simply created a folder named 1F75CC, shared it with dropquest@dropbox.com and...nothing. Can't imagine what I'm still doing wrong, so I'm chalking it up to a bug on their end now.
It worked for me. The only thing I did differently was including the contents of the previous zip file (the image and the step21.txt) in the shared folder.

Free registration, but part of the hunt is to created a shared folder with hex. You would need to install the client and utilize your free space.
They have to have a user to reward with extra storage for each step, though admittedly they could've offered a "challenge" track with the ability to sign up once you're engaged.
Same problem, but I cheated my way past -- hints at the irc channel (including a link to solutions to every problem, but I was on the last one by then ;)
you have to have one and only one of each character (typically 123456789, but in this case its letters) in every column, row, and 3x3 sectioned off square. i'd suggest going out and finding a really easy sudoku puzzle and solving it. they're really easy once you get the concept.
What I don't understand is that there is no Step 9. I jumped straight to step 10. Did I miss something ?
edit : there is no step 12 also. But at the end of step 11 one's can read "You must be pretty tired though, so maybe it's time to go home and get some well-deserved rest."
