15. Store, Sync and Share files - with Dropbox


The beta version of Dropbox has was launched last Thursday, and offers a new way to save and share files. Basically, you install a piece of software onto your computer, and you are able to share files on the web and with other computers. You can put up to 2Gb onto the web for free, making it a useful backup service. It really cannot be much simpler than that. Installation was easy and stress free. There are versions for Windows, Mac and Linux, meaning you can share any time with anybody. So if you are online, why not just email? Firstly, there are file size limitations, and secondly this is also backup storage. Hopefully it will minimise those lost and forgotten files.

I have been using this feature on Mac for a while. Easy to use. I thought it was a "clever as usual" i-life application only for Mac.
