DropBox is a ROCKSTAR!
I almost use this product so much that I forget other people don’t know about it. I would like to share. My best explanation of this product is , It’s like a thumb drive that you don’t have to carry around. It’s clouded and virtual. They host all the data on the Drop Box servers and your devices are just interactive viewers of that information. I say “devices” because its more than just your PC that can sync with this information.
PCs, Macs, iPhones, iPads, Tablets, Androids and more…. This allows you to leverage your existing software to “Cloud” your information. Such as Photos, Videos, and Program Data Files… yes Program Data Files are the little known advantages of a DropBox sync. You can cloud your POP data in your email client, simulating expensive Exchange behaviors such as, centralized and shared email, notes, calendars, tasks, to-do lists, and even iTunes Music. Just point the program to a data fil or folder in your drop box and you’re on “Clouded 9” (patent pending term so if you use it I get a nickel).
No shortages in features like, folder sharing to avoid emailing huge files, and even a public area you can leverage to Host your own web site. Just point your domain to the public link in the easy to use Web Interface and mask your URL. I won’t tell anyone. Here is a video from the web site www.DropBox.com but it doesn’t even begin to tell you what you can use it for. 2GB is free and I have used if (for FREE) for over 2 years now and have to clear old items out every once and awhile but 5 stars from me.
