--- What Is It? ---

Dropbox is available from www.getdropbox.com and is a simple way to share documents between friends/families/computers. It works by creating a folder on your computer which you simply drag files in to for them to be uploaded to your account. Any connected Dropbox computer will then download the file/s you have just added. This simple drag and drop approach makes it incredibly easy to use.

--- Why Do I Need It? ---

MSN is slow transferring files, e-mail has size limits and sites like yousendit are also often slow/have limits. Dropbox gives you 2gb of space FREE.

So you can share files, anything else? well the software is useful for myself as a photographer in many ways. Firstly I photograph my girlfriends art dolls which then get edited and sent accross to her, she has her own special folder which enables her only to see the files in her folder (not in the rest of the Dropbox), I simply drop them on there and walk away. When it's done it'll update on her Dropbox next time she's online and she'll get a message to say the new files have been received.

Secondly i'm lazy at times. Moving files to USB drives then moving upstairs and transferring again can take time so I simply drop it in the Dropbox and walk upstairs. For small files they're often there or downloading by the time i'm in front of the other computer.

Basically it sets up a file sharing network that is constantly monitoring for new files such as PDF invoices from my printer (who now also has Dropbox).

--- How Much Does It Cost? ---
