Cool Service

For the last month or two I’ve been using a web storage service called Drop-Box that gives you 2GB of on line storage. I’ve found it easy to set-up and use. basically it creates a folder on your computer that it will synchronize with an on line account folder at Drop-box. I’m currently using it for keeping my important files synchronized between 4 computers both at work and at home. I’ve helped a friend set-up his Quicken to store its data in his drop-box folder and now he can open Quicken on his laptop or desktop and always has the most recent data and it’s backed up on line! I was looking for someway to sync my files as it was getting very tedious having to make sure which version was the most recent, on which computer! Now I can work on a document on my mac book, save it, go to my desktop at home or work and its already there with the latest changes. Simple as that! It’s also great as a backup. I had a laptop drive crash on me and I didn’t have to worry about recovering my important documents because it was all in my drop-box. You can also access your drop-box from any computer connected to the Internet via their web page with your user name and password.

So if you’re interested in getting drop-box comment on this post with your email and I’ll send you a referral.
