Dropbox may very well transform how you use all of your computers on a daily basis. Seriously, it's that cool.
Let's look at an example. You're at work and start working on a project, perhaps you are organizing the Office Christmas Party this year. You have spreadsheets, documents, notes, all kinds of files. Then you get home and would like to make some changes to your plans, but the files are at work! Or, your coworker Janet has been assigned to help you with the party planning, and she needs to be able to view and edit all of the files. How on earth do you keep all of the files current? Probably by emailing each version back and forth and back and forth...
Endless emailing no longer! Enter Dropbox! It's a program that you download to your computer that automatically syncs files to any other computers of your choosing. You can could have a Personal folder that you sync between your work and home computers. You can have a Party folder that you sync between yours and Janet's computers. You can have a Recipes folder that you sync between yours and your sister's computer. The possibilities are endless! And the syncing happens immediately when you close the file on your computer, no other work needed!
Even more, your files are synced across PCs, Macs, the Dropbox website, and your smart phone! Check out the Dropbox tour for more details.
Seriously, this is life-changing! Or as life changing as a computer application can be.
Happy Dropbox-ing!
