I like to provide everyone with tools that people like me find either amuzing or things that they cannot live without. I typically write on the blog so that I don't forget about the great apps that are out there. I felt like it was a homerun with DropBox.
What is DropBox?
In my own words its a folder that is on your computer that is in sync with the web. That allows flexibility with file sharing and backups
What does that do for me?
- It lets me share files between my PCs Online/offline
- That can be either on my LAN or accross the internet to a friend
- It promotes the "Living in the Cloud" mindset that I like to embrace.
What is it lacking?
- Being free it comes with only 2 gigs, so its not realistic to share your MP3 collection freely (there are other tools for that).
- Each Referral earns you a little more space and there is always the pay model but 2 gig is plenty. I also was able to work with my current setup. I have 3 machines. 1 has media files, 2 is basically a back up machine, and 3 has work related files. I can make 3 accounts at 2 gigs each and then share the folders to all my PCs. This creates 6 gigs free. But again you would want to have multiple computers for this.
Referral Link (you can always give me more space): Dropbox.com
