Drop box (application)

[abyss5150]

Thought this would be very useful once we get our hands on the EVO!!

DROP BOX
Creates a folder on your home computer that synchronizes with the web (Free Online Secure Storage). You can access this folder from any computer in your home, your SmartPhone or from any computer. You can even share any contents of the folder. Pretty cool!
You start out with 2G free storage.
Click the referral link below and receive an extra 250M of storage.

Abyss you the man! Thanks bc I am a noob and have been looking for something exactly like this once we have our evo's.

No prob.....Glad I could help. I'm surprised more people aren't jumping on this. The other day one of my friends wanted me to give him a copy of some study material. Normally I could have had to burn it to a disk and give it to him physically. I just dropped and dragged it to the Drop Box folder and gave him the link and he downloaded it. Pretty cool!

I definitely used drop box a lot during finals. Put all my outlines on e ti make sure they didn't get lost. It's a very nice, free, automatic backup

Used your link and got an email after signing up stating I got the extra 250mb. Thanks for posting this. I have added it to my appbrain list

Thanks I too took advantage of your offer. I plan to use it going from office to home and keeping files updated. Very Cool.

 

[abyss5150]

That's wussup. No more emailing files to myself. Just drag and drop and know it's safe and secure for access at any time. Can't wait to use it with my EVO!

I like this a lot. Thanks for posting about it!

The one drawback is that, if you're using a free account and get close to the 2GB limit, you will get nagging emails and taskbar pop-ups on your desktop asking you to upgrade. A minor inconvenience for a free 2 gig storage. Just don't be surprised.

I C. I haven't experienced that yet. I've been putting data in the Drop Box that I need in the cloud at that time. I'm constantly swapping out files as I need access to them. I guess if your using this for a semi-permanent storage solution you can run into this.

Good point. It's best used for transient files.

OK, I got some cleanin' to do.

Pretty much eliminates the need for my USB drive now af far as school work goes.

I have accounts with both, and for most things I'm saving, I prefer to use Evernote. I use it WAY more than DropBox.

I hope there will be. One thing I know you can do is bookmark the page and have it thumbnailed on your EVO.

Yeah, it really was a violation of basic internet policy! No, but to be honest some could have said I was spamming my even posting the referral. In all actuality, we should spread the wealth. I don't mind at all. Free Internet storage for all I say, free internet storage for all!
