Dropbox
September 11, 2008 – 3:54 pm
Today a fantastically useful new piece of software came out of private beta. It’s called Dropbox and creates a shared folder on your computer. Anything you put in the folder can be accessed over the web or from another computer running the software. It’s very quick and easy and does not require both computers to be online at the same time to share files. There’s a little demo video on the front page of the site that shows how it works here. Check it out!
