Virtual file management with dropbox
Wouldn’t it be nice if your files magically followed you from one computer to another? Even to your phone? Across different operating systems, like from a Mac to your PC?
If this sounds like something you want to try, give dropbox a go. Dropbox creates a virtual folder on each of your computers — anything you drop into the folder shows up everywhere. It’s instantly backed up to the dropbox computing cloud, and you can even get to your files through a web browser.
One of the best features, I think: You can instantly share any folder inside your dropbox with friends or colleagues, even if they have a different operating system. The shared folders just appear inside your dropbox, letting you work together seamlessly.
Give it a try for free. You get 2GB of storage with your starter account, and can upgrade to 50GB for about $10 a month. And if you’re a Time Machine user — yes, your dropbox folder is seamlessly backed up to Time Machine.
