Dropbox – Home – Secure backup, sync and sharing made easy.
I’ve been missing our meetings while laying on my back recovering and one thing I found that made my time alone useful was this program , Dropbox.
This is a file sharing program that will install on Windows, Mac, or Linux operating systems. Then by logging into the service with the program each computer has a file directory where files may be accessed and synced.
For me this made it possible for me to access files on my desktop while using my laptop where I lay. In my case I used it with UltraVNC and could move files on the desktop also from my laptop.
I haven’t begun to use the other features, sub directories in the Dropbox may be shared with other Dropbox accounts recognized by their email addresses. Also they may be made public.
While I have tried many services of this genre, Adrive offering 50 gigs free, Google Docs with one gig, or Google Picasa with a gig for pictures, Box.net offers 1 gig, Mozy.com offers 2 gigs of backup space. But no other service works on all operation systems and offers syncing, sharing and storage combined.
