Dropbox, A great way to store, sync and share files! Options

[Merica]

Hello everyone,

This is, admittedly, an advert for a piece of kit I use called Dropbox. But please bare with me before moving on because Dropbox really is brilliantly useful, I promise.

Dropbox is basically a program that you can download to the various computers/laptops you use and even your mobile devices (iPhone, Android, Blackberry), and then store files within it. Whenever you store on one device, it automatically syncs onto the other. For example, if I drag a picture into my Dropbox folder here on my laptop and then open the Dropbox app on my iPhone, it will be there! Syncage! No need to carry stuff on a USB stick or print it out; if I know I might need to access something whilst I'm out and about, I'll simply put it in the Dropbox.

It's also GREAT for sharing files; you can set up shared folders with other Dropbox users and when one person adds to it, the other person gets a notification saying that something new is there. I use it extensively with my film making group at university; we're constantly updating our folder and adding new pieces of documentation that we need; the sound designer keeps adding files for the editor to use, etc. It's really, really useful. Everyone can access, add to and organize it. Sharing is caring, and it's very easy with Dropbox.

If it sounds like something you might be able to make use of, then check it out through [link removed] link and we'll both get free extra storage. Yes that's ultimately what I want, but seriously, it could be great for you. Check it out.

Thanks for reading, good folks.

Yeah used this programme to deliver a job recently, seemed to work very well. Got myself a 13 inch macbook pro recently too - great piece of kit!

Well played, Deku. What kind of job were you delivering? Web/programming stuff? Also, unless I pussy out (which is, sadly, a good shout to actually happen), I'm going to buy myself an iPad2 really soon. Like, Monday, soon.
