Increase your free dropbox from 2GB to 5GB :>

This 'trick' is about a year old, but as I use dropbox extensively to 'carry around' IT PDFs, as well as a library of powershell scripts I've written in the form of snippets, I found this tip to be very useful!

Enable photo syncing on the iphone dropbox app, and as you upload your photos and breach your 2GB limit, you are given a new permanent limit, free of charge, of 2.5GB. Keep going all the way up to 5GB, then if you want to, stop using it and delete the photos!

I already use the icloud control panel to sync my photostream with my windows PC, so I don't need this dropbox feature.

If you want to force the limit more quickly, apparently you can create and sync a video instead.

One caveat - make sure you have the space free on your phone first - filling it up can be a pain!
