Drop Box


I learned today about a Web service called Drop Box (found at www.getdropbox.com), which has a number of features that will be beneficial to both individuals and groups. The Tour explains the features or you can watch the video.

For individuals who have more than one computer and they need to keep file synchronized, Drop Box allows you to easily keep the files in synch.

If you work with others, you can create a Shared folder, which will allow others to access the files. They can be shared with either Drop Box members or non-members. See this Web page for more details.

Free accounts come with 2MB of storage.

One of the things to think about is that if you put a file in the Drop Box that will be on your computer, you will have moved it from its original location so it would be best to put the original in the Drop Box and then put an alias in the folder where it was originally.
