My new favorite app… Dropbox!
Download dropbox, install on your computer, sign up and you have 2gig free, 50gig $9.99/month, 100gig $19.99/month… the part I really like is installing dropbox on multiple computers (work, home, laptop…) drop a file into a folder on any of these computers and this folder is updated on all computers automatically!
You can use this for offsite backup, remote sharing of a particular folder to anyone you want… so many options.
“Welcome to Dropbox!
Unlike other programs, Dropbox doesn’t have a complicated interface to learn. It’s built right into your desktop! Here’s how to get started:
Step 1: Drag and drop any file or folder into your Dropbox folder.
Step 2: Once your file/folder is inside your Dropbox folder, the program immediately starts syncing it to our secure servers. Once this has finished, the file’s icon is marked with a green check. Your file is now safely backed up online and also accessible from the Dropbox website. (http://www.getdropbox.com)
Step 3: Install Dropbox (http://www.getdropbox.com/install) on other computers you use, and they’ll also receive a copy of the files you’ve put in your Dropbox.
That’s it! Now that Dropbox is watching your file, any changes you make will sync up instantly and automatically. This gives you the freedom to work on any computer you choose. For more help adding files to Dropbox, see here: https://www.getdropbox.com/help/90
Happy Dropboxing!
