Title: Dropbox
Post by: Nick on February 14, 2012, 04:22:35 PM
I don't know if many of you have heard of it, but Dropbox is basically like free internet storage that is accessible from almost any device that can connect to the internet. It is an amazing program that is integrated into your operating system extremely well, making its use extremely easy.

I personally use it on my desktop, laptop, and phone to access any information that I want, anywhere on campus. It allows for perfect synchronization between all of my devices, especially with school work that I do in different places. On top of that, you can have friends/family use the same account to access the information, or you can just share the folder and it will show up in their computer as well.

It is definitely something to look in to if you have multiple devices to sync between, or even have to do a lot of collaborative work. If you do decide to sign up, I would really appreciate it if you used referral link so that it will increase the size of both yours and my Dropbox by 250MB. Hell, if you are feeling extremely nice, it'd be awesome if you could sign up regardless if you are going to use the service or not. It is a quick sign up and installation of the software.

The referral link is: http://db.tt/1YYkybG (http://db.tt/1YYkybG)

If you have any questions about Dropbox, just ask.

Probably the best thing about Dropbox, is in effect it's exactly the same as just having a folder on your Computer that is backed up 'in the cloud', so even the most computer illiterate idiot could use it :3

So I just pick up my harddrive, and drop it in the post-box?

Dropbox is pretty awesome. I use it to share resources for classes with friends, projects and just my own personal files between computers.
