Hello everyone, I'm on a Nother mailing list where the owner has sent out 
something pretty cool for you guys for the beings and I wanted to pass on her 
info. She used to be a member of this listing I believe that she still is but 
if she's not I think it would be very useful for you guys to have brownouts. A 
care and enjoy.

> Hi. Just wanted to let you know about a website I found a few days ago. You

> able to use your bn to upload files to dropbox. You go to sendtodropbox.com 
> <http://sendtodropbox.com/> and sign in with your dropbox email address and 
> password. This will link send to dropbox.com <http://dropbox.com/> to your 
> dropbox account. After the accounts are linked, you will be given an email 
> address. Wright this down somewhere where you will not lose it. I put mine in 
> keylist. Now, with that email address, you can attach files to emails and 
> send them to that address. The attachments will be uploaded to your dropbox. 
> You can also set it to also keep the email body or the attachment only and if 
> it is a zip archive do you want it unzipped and delete the original zip file, 
> unzip it and keep the original zip file, or do nothing with it. You can keep 
> the email address private or give it to people you trust so they can also 
> upload files to your dropbox. The file size is only limited by the email size 
> limit your email provider has set. Gmails is 25 mb, most others are 10 mb. If 
> you want to send more then 1 file in an email you also can as long as the 
> total size of the files does not go over your email size limit. If it does, 
> send the files separately or try zipping them. By default, emailed files and 
> the email bodies if you have email bodies turned on go into a folder called 
> apps and then under a sub folder called attachments. You do not need to make 
> these folders, they will be automatically created. If you have it set to 
> unzip archives, the unzipped files will be placed in a sub folder of the 
> attachments folder. The sub folder will have the same name as the zip file. I 
> think there is a way to change where emailed files go, but I have not figured 
> out how to use that feature yet. I email files to dropbox, then use the iOS 
> dropbox app or my computer to move the files to where I want them. If you are 
> going to be uploading big files, I would recommend doing it from the gmail 
> site or from the website of whatever email account you have instead of 
> keymail, because keyweb uploads way faster then keymail. However, if the file 
> is small then using keymail will most likely be faster then signing into the 
> website. I find this very useful. Before, if I had a file on my bn I wanted 
> to put in dropbox, I would have to email it to myself, then open the 
> attachment in the iOS dropbox app to save it. This saves a few steps. Any 
> questions please let me know.
