DropBox file storage, sorted!

Good morning guys.
I remember reading that it moght be an idea if we had some sort of storage for files/programs and general information for maserati based items, some where we can upload the info and its then freely available for reference.
Now I have about 50gig of free space on my Dropbox account that im willing to use if people would like.
Ofc I need to say that you are free to upload anything you like. But if uou decided to upload copyright material then I coild notbe held responsible if someone decided to download that material and use it. For example a gps dvd/cd. ... that said I have no problem if it was uploaded so that the owner of said material had a copy of it for there own use..
And of course sports-maserati has no affiliation with my own personal Dropbox account.

Due to the nature of Dropbox it is just a file storage so any files uploaded would need to be checked with an anti virus once downloaded. And I can hold no responsibility if this is not done and a file is found to hold a virus. Although I will lock all files uploaded untill I have done a check on the files for viruses.

That being said, do you guys want me to set aside some of my space and create a folder for members to use? .

Hit CT, that's a good offer.

I'd invite you to consider:
1) Either you need to give your dropbox details to everyone or manage who has acccess to it (that is invite everyone who asks). Assuming if I remember how drop box works correctly.
2) Legally you *will* be held responsible for any material uploaded. Don't forget that fair use does not exist in the UK :(

If you're happy with that, happy days :)

Legality is a hard thing to enforce and consider when someone lives both inside and outside of the UK, so I'm happy with the way it works. Ofc any illegal material uploaded pictures videos etc ... If you get my meaning... Will be deleted and the member removed from the list of access no ifs no buts no maybe's. not gonna stop you popping a pic's of your girlfriend in a secure folder though so your wife doesn't find out ;)

All I need to do is give a few members access to the folder, then if I'm not around and another member wants access then the members who do have access can just send over the invite. It's a little like a pyramid once it sets off.
All fairly easy to sort

If the forum would let's us have a sticky I can keep it updated with relevant info contained within the folder so people know what is in there.

Let me get home ill sort out the sharing folder if you send me a pm if you have something you would like "stored " then I'll send you an invite and start a list of what is "stored" ofc midlife could not possibly discus what navigation discs he has with a view to sharing them mjheathcote as that would breech copyright...
