Today’s tool is Dropbox – a handy (and FREE!) file storage system. You can sync your files across multiple computers, share files with others, and access them online. The Dropbox folks say it better than I ever could: “Put your files into your Dropbox on one computer, and they’ll be instantly available on any of your other computers that you’ve installed Dropbox on (Windows, Mac, and Linux too!). Because a copy of your files are stored on Dropbox’s secure servers, you can also access them from any computer or mobile device using the Dropbox website.”
Why I love Dropbox:
- I backup some of my most critical files here (both work and personal). (Note: my old method was to email files to my Gmail account…Dropbox is simpler.)
- I can easily share files with other people on my team. Dropbox automatically keeps roll-back versions of your files for 30 days so you also get the benefit of some version history as well.
- I use a Mac at home and a PC at work and Dropbox works seamlessly on both.
- It’s free — get up to 2 GB of storage for $0 per month.
Try it out and let me know what you think!
