I've been using Dropbox for about a month now, and have found it incredibly useful.

This could be really handy if you work on Flash projects, or programming, and like to use many different computers ,could also be really useful for collaborations, since it kind of works like an auto-updating svn.

Check it out:

Is it possible to be more pretentious than Microsoft?

EDIT:
I have 3 invites left... after that it's up to you guys to invite others, if you want.

Well skydrive is nothing but an online storage, and not "Secure backup, sync and sharing made easy", because that's like calling a turd "nifty, lightweight waste disposal technology".

I don't know anything about skydive, but it sounds like the difference is that dropbox syncs with all your pcs, and saves integral changes... Kind of like page revisions on wikis, so you can go back to previous versions, or find files that have been deleted, etc.

It's basically, a simplified version of those really expensive online backup systems. Just install the client, and the dropbox folder is populated on your hard disk... You can even have programs in your dropbox, and run them on your hard drive. If you upgrade the program, it is sync'ed and upgraded on all the PCs you have linked.  I like how simple it is to use most of all.

If they gave more space (which they probably will eventually), I'd have all of my programs and documents in my dropbox, so that I wouldn't have to worry about installing them when I move to another machine (I use alot of computers). Right now, I just keep flash, my flash documents and programming stuff in mine... But just think, this way you don't have to save 50 versions of your fla file as you create an animation... If you screw up, just go to a previous version via Dropbox, and download it.

Oh that actually sounds a lot more handy than Skydrive. My father actually has a network disk that I can copy things to and access from any PC at home so I don't have any use for it though.

Why aren't you on AIM?

I don't have internet at my new place yet, so I'm only online about an hour a day right now... And I'm off for the day. c-ya all.

I'd try it -

edit:  nevermind poly has a better reason for it than I do give it to him

this seems cool so far

If there's an invitation left, I would love to give it a shot. I'm planning on putting some files up publicly for a project in the works, and the sharing between eachother would be grand!

Sorry, I'm out of invites, but if any of the guys I just invited would be so kind, they each should have 10 invites to give away.
