Free storage space for Imperial
Imperial are FINALLY 3rd in a table
Every student at Imperial can get 8GB worth of free storage on the online website Dropbox. This is part of the Dropbox SpaceRace.
In this competition student race against each other to earn more points, which entitles them to more space online in the Dropbox website. Imperial is currently third in the United Kingdom (table pictured to the left), with 2,233 participants (at time of writing).
The competition works by students registering with their Imperial email address, or, if you have an account under a different email address, verifying that you go to Imperial on the Dropbox Space Race website. The more students who sign up, the more free space that every student at that institution gets. Currently, at time of going to print, Imperial students are able to get 8GB worth of free space. The maximum possible space that an institution can gain is 25GB.
Usually, the amount of space given to each user is 5GB. The extra 3GB to Imperial students will, however, only be available for two years.
The competition was launched on Monday 15 October, and will run for eight weeks, meaning two of the weeks have already gone.
