Drop it in the Box.

So I'm sitting here watching A Perfect Getaway on a Saturday night in January. Nice right, as I sit here in the cold of winter, I'm watching a "thriller/horror" that takes place in warm sunny Hawaii. But I am also playing around more with the great online storage program called Drop Box. If you haven't heard about it, or don't have it, or hate carrying around a flash drive, I highly suggest getting it.

The best way I can describe this program is, an online flash drive. The free storage space is only 2 gigs, but you can pay for more space at a monthly fee. This is the basic function of this program.

Once you download the program and install it, all it does is add a file to your documents (or where ever you want it to go)that syncs up with your personal storage space on their server. It's pretty neat, as soon as you put it into the folder, it will sync those files to the online space (if you're connected to the net) and you don't have to do anything else, it's that simple!

The real great thing here is you can access these files you've put in your drop box from any other computer, without having to re-download the program. All you have to do is go to the Drop Box website (here) and login. It's truly amazing how simple they have made this.

But there's more! Like a flash drive, there is so much extra you can do, to really make your life very easy. If you want to sync up all your music (need to pay for more space though), run your firefox with all the same bookmarks, store ALL your passwords and access them on any computer, and much more.

Also, I forgot to mention that you should add me to your friends on Boxee if you are, or did sign up. My username is Rusty486.

  1. Seems like a decent product but I wish they offered much more free storage than 2Gb.
