Filetrip overhaul: we're getting generous!

[Costello]

Thanks, Costello

FileTrip gives for free what Google charges USD $5 a month for.

Take that, Google Drive and your little-piss 5GB of free storage

So it's the same as google drive and dropbox? DAMN I WISH IT WAS AN IOS APP SO I COULD SYNC MUSIC MIXES AND LISTEN TO THEM ON THE GO!!!

that's actually a pretty good idea... I will look into it and see if it can be done, but don't expect something anytime soon

Well, thx for actually considering it. I'm happy to get 100 GB of storage. !!!

Hey, Costello.

Do you plan to add an API(if there isn't already one)? If there is, I'd probably be interested in making a mobile app for it. iOS and if I learn Java, Android.
Would be beneficial for me and the community. Mainly because I can submit it to school for extra marks and such.

Obviously this isn't set in stone, but it'd be interesting to play around with the idea and try.

You don't have to learn Java, you can use the NDK and write the app (mostly, at least) in C++. (I think a little bit may still have to be in Java, but it should be possible to just find whatever you need online without actually learning Java)

So what's the deal with all the warez in the PC Games section? We can't post links to copyright content here on the forum but uploading full copyrighted games to filetrip for other people to download is fine?
I also flagged several copyright infringing files in the wii section but nothing has been done about them.

It was also brought up in another thread that bundling GPL licensed stuff in a proprietary installer with non-GPL stuff (i.e. the toolbars) violates the GPL. (Assuming you classify the installer as a "derivative work", which I would).

Frankly I'm more concerned about the blatant warez; "abandonware" is not a legally recognized concept and many of the games are still being sold on either gog.com or Steam.
