Limited offer to get Microsoft Skydrive with 25 GB of space

From the site's page:
*Offer good for active SkyDrive account holders who had at least one file in their account on or before April 21, 2012.

I had an account for it(?) but didn't have files and it still worked for me.

In the first paragraph there is the link to the offer.

Wow, this is definitely more than Dropbox gives you. Just hope that Gavin will eventually see this, and think this would be a good one to switch to for C++ 102 and C# 103 or not. Even tho those that have seen this won't get the 25 GB, we'll at least get 7 GB, from what I see, which is 3.5x as big as Dropbox's free account.

You can still get the 25 GB apparently, I got mine today

Still, it's about the same price for 20 GB extra as a 50 GB dropbox :3

WedgeBob it's not directed towards you specifically, don't get me wrong. I've seen other posts too where people think that 3DBuzz should switch off from Dropbox mainly because of it's limited size compared to other providers. Looks like people tend to think that bigger is better. I'm interested why people make suggestions solely based on the size available.

There is more than enough space available in Dropbox to last through 101, 102, 103, 10x courses C# and C++ combined.

very nice find, thanks for posting, I use my skydrive space for storing my onenote stuff mainly, but i still prefer dropbox..even what it offers for free is a huge huge amount of space that we mostly will never fill up with just simple coding examples and what not.

@Tootsx

I'm interested why people make suggestions solely based on the size available.

I don't use these services (skydrive, google drive, dropbox etc) very often. For what I get out of it, it would be a matter of comfort having not 2 (dropbox + skydrive/google drive) services but just one that is big for the hw and for any of the files that someone likes to sync and that is not for hw but for other uses.

Do I think that the hw should be done with dropbox? Don't really care.
However, I wouldn't want the buzz team change the service from dropbox to skydrive to google drive in a bidding manner because this week that service provides more than this service in space size. The only reason I would see a retransition from dropbox to another service would be if they had a easy to use API and would be possible for the buzz team to implement more things on that layer.
