Put your files on the cloud, prevent data loss

Posted byDaniel HoangPosted inThoughts

I’m a user of Dropbox. It’s an online data syncing service that allows files that you put into a folder on your computer to be synced to their online servers and any other computer and devices that you authorize. Dropbox is a great way to automatically get your files backed up online and synced to your other computers as well.

In addition, it allows you to share folders and files to facilitate collaboration. Take a moment and sign up for an account. I personally use this service on a daily basis.

  2. I started with box.net a while back and then moved to dropbox. There's a difference between the two services similar to Posterous vs. Tumblr. One is made by engineers and the other made by designers. Dropbox is made for simplicity and ease of use. I haven't done a full out comparison but I'm sure someone already has done so.

    Look out for Google to integrate storage into all their services. It's already happening and you can buy storage for really cheap. However, I still find it a little difficult to work with.
