While Dropbox isn’t an overly new tool, it’s new to me and it’s changing the way that I store files. It’s friggin’ awesome! Put your files into your Dropbox on one computer, and they’ll be instantly available on any of your other computers that you’ve installed Dropbox on (Windows, Mac, and Linux too!) Because a copy of your files are stored on Dropbox’s secure servers, you can also access them from any computer or mobile device using the Dropbox website.
You get 2 gigabytes of storage for free, you can pay to have more. It’s a fantastic way to back up documents and to have them readily available across multiple computers. I have Dropbox set up on my work computer, my home PC, my Macbook and my iPhone so I can access important files at the drop of a hat. That, and after watching my PC crash twice in the past month and losing data (stupid me for not backing up), Dropbox is going to be my salvation for backing up files.
“Dropbox is the easiest way to store, sync, and, share files online. There’s no complicated interface to learn.”
It’s free and super useful. Check it out at www.dropbox.com.
