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?

  1. It lets me share files between my PCs Online/offline
  2. That can be either on my LAN or accross the internet to a friend
  3. It promotes the "Living in the Cloud" mindset that I like to embrace.

What is it lacking?

  1. Being free it comes with only 2 gigs, so its not realistic to share your MP3 collection freely (there are other tools for that). 
  2. 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
