Dropbox cloud storage, from Pro plans to rsync workflows and reindex tips.
On 27th August 2014, Dropbox announced that Dropbox Pro now includes 1TB of storage for US$9.99 a month, or US$99 a year if paid upfront. Previously, that monthly rate bought just 100GB, with 200GB and 500GB costing considerably more.
