tried to upload a big photo folder, 4.5GB, with 688 photos in a couple ways and neither works.

1. Love the simple drag and drop to upload idea. it didn't work, though, when i simply drop that big folders. it just hang, ie seems to be working away but gave no errors. after 4 hrs, i stopped it.

2. created a folder then dropped 688 photos in. Error msg: max limits # items is 100. why is this limit? I can think of many cases where people need to store more than 100 items in 1 folder.

suggestions: 1. please spelled out your limitations somewhere. 2. remove that 100 items/folder limit.

I like your website flow and UI. keep at it, guys.



1) Thanks, we do have a 100 files limit per folder, this will change soon.

2) Agreed, we will work on communicating more clearly!


I thought this would be useful for backing up my documents. I zipped them up until a 9gb file and tried to upload them and the website reported a 200mb limit. Is there a way to get around this? I know dropbox has a 300mb limit but you can upload files of unlimited size using the desktop client.
