If we can make this #1 all time request I think theyll do it... if you own bitcoins you need to set up an account and vote cause it could serious increase the value of your holdings.. each account (which are free) gets 6 votes a month. Need another 120,000 votes to get it

Don't make fake accounts though cause they'll be able to tell and it will discredit all the real request.

With this much support it would be foolish of them not to accept bitcoins.

If I understand correctly they could accomplish this rather easily if they wanted, just have bitpay handle the btc transactions and hand dropbox the fiat $$$. Everyone is happy?

I don't see this as a real long-term solution. The better option would be to accept Bitcoins as they are.

It's a good compromise, but nothing more.

Hate to say this but just because a bunch of people vote for it doesn't mean they will begin to accept bitcoin. It might not make financial sense for them to do so right now.

This is too ridiculous. Too many people are considering paying with their coins for that. It would also provide a lot of hype for Dropbox in a time where they are facing a lot of other businesses offering the same thing.

Doesn't make financial sense?  It would be incredibly easy to add a BitPay or Coinbase option.

I'm surprised most sites don't do this.

It's a good compromise, but nothing more.

From a business perspective I see this as a low risk way to get to the native acceptance. Yes they could probably do their own e-commerce thing to accept it, but I would be willing to be the investment to do that is much much higher then adding another 'merchant account' to the existing solution.

Then later on one can evaluate if it makes business sense to remove that merchant and go 'native'.
