DropBox: Series
DropBox is a service where you create an account and download a little program to your PC (Mac, Windows and Linux versions available). DropBox than provides you with a simple folder, which acts just like all the other folders you have on your system. But DropBox is a little different. All the files you put in there are synced with the DropBox servers. That way all your files are in sync with the internet and accessible for you from all over the world. The best part: if you install DropBox on a second PC and authorize it with the same DropBox account, all your files are in sync between those two PCs! All the time.
Probably the best about this service: you get 2GB for free and if you refer friends you can pump that 2GB up to 10GB free online storage or you buy it.
But there is more about DropBox. And I would like to give you a little insight in how I use it over the next days.
- Sharing (Share files with friends and colleagues)
- Hardlinking (backup folders which are not in your DropBox)
- Your own Website (hosted for free in your DropBox)
- Shared Folders (project folders with friends)
