Over the weekend I went paintballing for a friends bachelor party and we all wanted to share our pictures with each other. There is a cool service called Dropbox that let us do just that. Dropbox lets you share files between multiple computers very easily. Dropbox installs a small program that handles the syncing and adds a My Dropbox folder to your computer. Any files you put in the My Dropbox folder are synchronized between all the computers you have Dropbox installed on. Dropbox also allows for collaboration of folders and thats how we used it. Those of us who took pictures put their photos into a shared folder then added all the participants as collaborators so we could all have a central place to put our photos. It worked out really well. You also have a public folder so if you want to share a file that is too big for email with a friend just drop it in the public folder then right click on it and there is an option to get a public link to the file. Email the link to the friend and they can download it from your Dropbox. Dropbox gives you 2GB of storage for free, but you can upgrade to 50GB of storage for $9.99 a month or $90 dollars a year. Dropbox also keeps track of revisions so if you are working on a school project and a critical portion is accidentally deleted you can revert back to a previous version and save yourself from a thermo nuclear meltdown. I highly reccomend checking out Dropbox if you user more than one computer and even if you don’t it is a good place to put critical files that you don’t want to lose.
