Problems multiple computers, wrong files on wrong machines, wrong versions, old backups? Dropbox may be your solution to these problems!

Dropbox

When I use 2 or more computers at same time I sometimes just want to move one single file to another computer. I could set up FTP server, but that’s a bit overkill for moving single files… I could also move it to another server and download it from there or I could move it via samba…

Sometimes I just don’t want to think. I just want that my file goes from one computer to another. And this is where Dropbox is awesome. Dropbox instantly syncs files on it’s directory to it’s own cloud server and to other computers that are linked to the account. With small files it is awesome, but with bigger files it can be annoyingly slow, because it moves it first to Dropbox server and then downloads it to other computer.

Sharing files is also possible. After placing file to public directory, you can find public link via right click menu. With the link you can share any file to friend easily. Actually, this way to share files is one of the best ways. I personally like to upload my files to ftp server and then share link, but for most users Dropbox is the best way. (Ftp gives nice directory list and it is just more 1337 way to share stuff

Best thing is that you get 2 gigs of free storage! (You can extend it to 3gigs by inviting friends… My own invite link below)
