Favorite Things: Dropbox



How many times has this happened? You are late, running out the door. You grab all of the stuff you need that day. But in the rush, you left your flash drive behind with that really important file. With dropbox, that is not even a worry.

The free plan comes with 2 GB of storage.  After signing up, you install the program on your computer.  You place the files you want into that folder and they are automatically synced on the web.  Voila, that file you need is stored on the internet, ready to be downloaded.

You can also sync files between computers.  You will not have to worry about not having that file on your laptop.  Other features include sharing files with other users and making files public on the internet by placing them in specific "public" folders.

Once you try dropbox, you won't know what you did before you had.  Like ordering a pizza without a cellphone... but that is another blog post for another day!
