I will certainly do so, as we need to evaluate the stability / 
performance of DropBox anyway - we were planning to use it as the main 
tool for getting data from the microscopes directly into OMERO, but as 
it stands now, this seems rather impractical.

Hard to predict when I will find the time to do this testing, though...
