I'm not a technology guru like some of my friends but I do know a great piece of technology when I see it.
I've been using Dropbox for a few months now. It works as a file backup program and a file sharing program. Another cool thing you can do is get a link to a file, email that link to your friend who can then just click on the link and download the file directly from the cloud which solves the problem of emailing large files. You can see how this works by downloading my insurance analysis from a previous post.
Dropbox installs a folder on your computer that automatically syncs the contents of that folder with the same folder you install on another computer so you always have the same version of your files in both places. This is very helpful if you use multiple computers. You can also go online and download any of your files from a browser on any computer.
I've tried other online backup solutions like mozy, syncplicity, and ZumoDrive but this is by far the best of its kind and it doesn't slow down my computer like some of the other similar programs.
Anyway, just thought I'd get the word out about this because I think they have a great product and I want to see them around for a very long time. If you want to try it out use this link so I'll be rewarded with a little bit of extra free storage space. They offer 2 Gig free.
