Dropbox 2.1.12 Experimental Available for Download

The Experimental version for Dropbox client has been updated to version 2.1.12. Dropbox client now leaves 100MB of hard disk space instead of 10MB. This build also includes a number of bug fixes.

Note: To avoid confusion with the new alert jewel, unsyncable files will now cause a yellow warning icon to appear instead of a red X.

Overview
Dropbox works just like any other folder on your computer, but with a few differences. Any files or folders inside Dropbox will get synchronized to Dropbox's servers and any other computer linked to your account. The green checkmarks will appear on top of your files to let you know that they're synced and up to date. All data is transferred over SSL and encrypted with AES-256 before storage. Dropbox keeps track of every change made to any of its contents.
