Neat Application For Those Of Us With Multiple Computers

Not only is it a neat application but it's free too, for up to 2 GB of storage. Like many of you I have multiple computers. A desktop, a laptop, and a netbook, and yes, I use them all. If I have a file on my desktop that I need on my laptop, I can transfer it over the network or put it on a USB thumb drive.

Along comes this application called Dropbox. Pretty simple really. Download the free software on each of your computers and it creates a "Dropbox" folder in your "My Documents" folder. Whatever you put in that dropbox folder on any of your pc's, now gets populated in the dropbox folder on your other PCs. No fuss, no muss, you don't have to do anything, the file will automatically populate on all your pc's. All you need is an internet connection, or a connection at a later time. If you don't have access to one of your PCs, go to the Dropbox website and the file is there too, for download. To find out more information, you can access the Dropbox website here.

2 GB comes with the free account. You can order 25 and 50 GB of storage, for a reasonable monthly fee.

Not only does it work on your pc's, but there is also an iPhone application and yes, your files will automatically populate to your iPhone.

Super easy and free. Just what Realtors like.

Easy and free, that's exactly what I like. I'll have to check it out.

That does sound like a handy place to use for a transfer of a file, thanks for posting this.

Richard,

I like free also and have a few computers . I will check this one out.

I am on my way to DropBox....it is just what the doctor ordered.

Thanks for the info.

Richard - That sounds like a really neat application! I've used a thumb drive to transfer between desktop and laptop to. But this program you describe would automatically synch up the files in that folder between computers and would be so handy.

Rich...

Thanks for the tip. I'll look in to this one as it could be very helpful.

Rich, Thank-you for bringing dropbox to my attention, I know I can put it good use =)
Making each day worth while,

Thanks so much Richard. A great tip. :-)

Great app but I honestly love MobileMe from Apple. It syncs with my Mac, iPhone and my PCs. For $69 a year it's awesome plus iDisk is included which allows me to keep needed files online and I can easily send them from my iphone.

I was just at a Star Power Advance in Las Vegas and Stephanie Evelo raved about this product.
