My absolute favorite way to share files is with DropBox. Once you signup for an account, you download the DropBox app to your computer (Mac/Windows/Linux) and enter your account details. This creates a “DropBox” folder on your computer. Anything you place in this folder will be automatically synchronized to your online DropBox account, along with automatically synchronized on any other computers that you share your account with. This makes it super easy to share files with family, friends, or co-workers – whether they’re in the next room or the next country.
A couple of my favorite features are:
- Undo history & Undelete – you can revert back to previous versions of files and undelete files & folders
- Mobile access – all your files are available on the go, via the web interface (or via the upcoming iPhone DropBox app)
- Easy – it’s just plain easy to use DropBox – set it up and forget about it
DropBox offers a free plan (2GB) along with a couple of paid plans. It’s well worth trying if you haven’t already.
