Illustration Skill is too damn high.

Speaking of those awesome illustrations, does anyone have any tips on how to draw those sketchy/rough borders and lines?

It looks to me like a custom-made Art brush in Illustrator, similar to these from Vector Mill Mid-Century Modern Crate.

anyone know how to do that in Sketch?

In Illustrator, Effect > Distort & Transform > Roughen. You'll get pretty close with that.

Zach Graham & Ryan Putnam are responsible for those.
Joe Blau, almost 9 years ago Their work is epic. I love their illustration style.

I'd love a $1.99/100GB plan.
JJ Ying, almost 9 years ago
Totally agree!
Casey Britt, almost 9 years ago
I think few people would go for the big plan at that rate.
As for the lack of cheaper smaller plans thus far... I could be wrong but my theory on the lack of smaller plans is that bandwidth is more expensive than storage space. If you have a smaller dropbox then you're going to be swapping files in and out more or potentially the same amount as someone with a large account. So the cost to dropbox for bandwidth would be greater or at least close to the same.

You know mega.co.nz offers 50GB for free, right ?
There is nothing I like about mega.co.nz.
Aa, ok. I thought you just needed the cloud storage. I am also a big fan of Dropbox. A plan like that would definitely raise my eyebrow.

You know Kim Dotcom is an ex-convict and has engaged in a long and diverse list of criminal activities? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom#Criminal_investigations He's not exactly someone you would want to trust with your personal files.
Well, yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean the website is bad. I'm not saying is good either, just his criminal record doesn't make the service necessarily bad, or that Google or Dropbox will treat your files differently (better or worse).

I love it how companies usually do the euro-pricing by switching symbols. But great to see that the value you get with the service has gone up significantly.

I was a happy user beforehand, now I'm a happy customer.
Touché Dropbox...

Would be nice if they bumped up the base-level storage for the free plan, at least like 10 GB free.
This is awesome, nonetheless. Google Drive is just too slow compared to Dropbox.
Joe Crupi, almost 9 years ago Agreed - Google Drive is so slow.

WORD!
Does anyone know when this space increase takes affect for current customers?
Already a Pro user? Dropbox will update automatically in the next couple days. You don’t have to do a thing.
Thanks :)

My free Dropbox is currently at 19GB and my free Baidu cloud is at 2TB. I think I am good with free for now. Haha.
Chris De La Fuente, almost 9 years ago
FUCK YES!!!!!!
Brennan Smith, almost 9 years ago Beautiful page.
Artur Maklyarevsky, almost 9 years ago

You'll get automatically upgraded to the new plan. Nice right?
Paul Nevin, almost 9 years ago
They finally made the move!

The war on cloud storage is going on, and that is a great thing. Prizes will keep dropping and dropping I believe.
Downside for mow, for me is, that I have a 256GB drive in my MPB, so what do I do with the rest? Or can I split the storage over the internal and a external drive?
Samuel Zeller, almost 9 years ago
Wow! Incredible!
I can finally store all my current projects on it :)
Corey Ginnivan, almost 9 years ago
Jeez what sort of current projects are you working on that take up 100gb worth :P
Well when you do 3D you often end up with a scene of 300mo to 1go depending on your object complexity, then you have tons of textures (can get really high quickly). I would say that the average project is about 5go.
The worst is video, I've worked for 1 year in a production facility and we would buy a 1to drive nearly for each new project (shooting HD and 4K takes space!) just for the archiving.
Sometimes I wish I was doing code heh
Calum Smith, almost 9 years ago
There it is. I was worried about how long it would take them to catch up.
