DropItToMe: Securely receive files from anyone to your Dropbox account

A while back I published an article covering the several different options we had that allowed anybody to upload files to your Dropbox account, without going through hassles of setting up folder shares and without compromising the security of your Dropbox account. A new service called DropItToMe has extended our collection by one.

After you have registered at DropItToMe, and authorized the application to access your Dropbox account, a new folder called DROPitTOme will added within your Dropbox account. You will be also given a unique upload address (www.dropitto.me/username) that leads to a password protected page. When you need to receive a file from somebody, send this link along with the password.

dropittome

The user enters the password and uploads the file via the upload box. These files then appear in the DropItToMe folder in your account.

You can remove DROPitTOme at any time from your Dropbox account by visiting:
https://www.dropbox.com/account#applications

At the moment the maximum file upload size is 75MB. And yes, it’s free.

    Nice service this DropBox! But until this service won't increase its storage volume - more than 2 Gb - will not massively be used!

    You get additional 250MB for each person you refer, up to 8GB extra. That is 2GB+8GB = 10GB.

    Then, there are paid plans too.

    Does it look it like I wouldn't have known about that bonus?! What I am talking about it's about the basic storage volume... nothing else! Nobody cares about that bonus! I must have been at least 5 Gb basic storage. What I am saying is that 2 Gb it's not enough!

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
