Drop It Like It’s DropBox
Dropbox is the great at syncing regular old files and folders over the internet and to the web. You can use DropBox to ensure important application data stays in sync no matter what computer you’re using. Dropbox is basically an intelligent combination of Box.net, dot.mac and Microsoft’s FolderShare syncing service. It makes online storage and sharing of files dead simple — as simple as dragging files into specially market local folders.
The software, once downloaded, is simple to install (it works on both Windows and Mac) and integrates with the file browser. It runs quietly in the background. You create folders inside the DropBox folder and then just drag and drop them. And the files are constantly synced with your online storage locker — any time a file is changed, the changes are sent to the online folders, which can be accessed via a web browser even if your home machine is shut off.you’ll be able to buy a 50GB Dropbox for $9.99/month, or $99.99/year. Don’t worry — the free 2GB accounts will always be free, and you can keep the amount of space you had in the beta. Stay tuned for more on this. It’s the only truly cross-platform cloud storage solution, with support for Windows, Mac OS X and now Linux. Dropbox is backed by Sequoia Capital and Y Combinator and was founded by a team of MIT engineers.
