Dropbox

Dropbox is brilliant for syncing, sharing and collaborating on files.. Remember to get the extra 5GB of space which is available now: http://lifehacker.com/5881692/get-up-to-45gb-of-extra-space-on-dropbox-for-uploading-photos-and-videos?tag=dropbox

I know a lot of people use the free version of Dropbox and are trying to get more free space by referring others. I know on my website I get quite a few comments with referral codes. I usually delete them but if people are willing to write a little review of Dropbox there is a website I found that will place their referral code on the site. Check out http://reviewdropbox.com/ and leave a review of Dropbox along with your referral code.

Thought it might help those looking to help increase their free space.

From the new terms of service:

"By submitting your stuff to the Services, you grant us (and those we work with to provide the Services) worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable rights to use, copy, distribute, prepare derivative works (such as translations or format conversions) of, perform, or publicly display that stuff to the extent we think it necessary for the Service."

Apparently Dropbox has just joined the Dark Side. Time to find an alternative.

Actually, I don't really understand the essence of such software while there are a lot of powerfull freeware not only for remote files access but also remote pc control.

Using let's say Ammyy Admin http://www.ammyy.com http://alternativeto.net/software/ammyy-admin/ or teamviewer http://alternativeto.net/software/teamviewer/comments

you can have full remote access to files and software installed on a remote (office or home) PC. Such approach absolutely eliminates tedious sync process especially if there are tons of files to be transmitted and what is more it's absolutely free.

Both software described above work behind NAT and Firewalls, Ammyy Admin doesn't even require installation or administrator rights.

I've heard Apple is going to develop a new on-line content storage service to simplify access to user's content but who told you it's safe and won't lack to a third party?

Anyway my opinion is that such services like dropbox will die out in future.

Personally, I find this to be the best syncing client. I use it extensively for my school work and for backing up various important files.

The best thing about Dropbox is the additional space available: you can grab 500mb extra space with referrals.

The 500mb is more than most links as I'm registered with an educational address. Just thought I should share. Good luck!

Really like Dropbox. I use it to help sync data between my laptop and desktop. Lately however it has been having problems syncing and will often need to be restarted to properly sync data. Does make it easy to share data with other Dropbox users. Great for collaborating on projects.
