Title: Drop Box - Free Storage for syncing files
Post by: ralph on April 04, 2011, 08:51:50 AM

Another tech turned me on to this.   He needed to be able to transfer files back and forth between customers easily.
Drop Box gives you 2 free gigs of storage.   On your computer you treat it like a normal hard drive or directory.   This directory can be private so only you can get to it.   But it also has a public directory where all you have to do is send someone a link and they can pull the file down.

I have some ideas on how to use this to cut some of my bandwidth usage on my website.

Here's the link to check it out:  Drop Box (http://db.tt/P6GBVF7)
Full disclosure: if you sign up from clicking the above link, I get an additional 250 meg additional storage.  Something Ya'll can take advantage of also.

The only thing I would worry about would be audit trails for compliance if you are using this for customers

Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me. ;D

and don't forget, send me $1 and $1 to everybody who signs up after you and in 6 months you will get a $2,000,000,000 and a date with Miley Cyrus.
