| Post subject: | In praise of Dropbox |
I am a new Dropbox user. I am absolutely thrilled up with it. So far I have used it for the following. 1) I was able to put a large file onto their server and provide a link to it on a forum. I have long wanted a free way to pass large files around. I don't have my own web space and am not really savvy enough to set one up. This was a breeze to set up. I now have a Dropbox folder in my home folder. Anything I put in it is automatically on the web. 2) I have synced up all my computers for 1Password. So if I am on my lappy and go to a site that uses a password. If I add it to the laptops copy of 1P it updates back on my desktop. It does this anywhere I have a web connection. How cool is that? You get 2Gig of online storage for free. This is upped in chunks up to 5 Gigs if you introduce friends. Please be my friend. Follow the link below if you think this is a service that you would value too. https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTEzNjY5ODY5 It is Mac and Win friendly. CC |

Cheers John. They add an extra .25 of a Gig for each person you introduce. That is not the reason I posted though. I am really impressed with this service. On the Mac at least setup was a real dream and it is seriously easy to use. I think it would be a pretty good way to share between Macs and PCs too. CC |

I know that's not why you posted and if they didn't have a Linux client I would have left it, but it's a bonus for you and might be useful for me. Everyone wins!

I've added it, although I have web hosting, it could come in handy in the future... |

I have used it for 1Password. It is the recommended way of doing that. 1P is a cracking piece of software.

So do you have to install something for drop box to work or is it all web based? |

There's a client to download that integrates with your file manager, whether it be Nautilus, Explorer or FInder. It's a small download. You sign up using the link, download the installer and then run it. It'll ask you to log in and away to go. |

It would appear the web upload doesn't like 1gig files...

I've heard good things about it, although I haven't had a use for it yet. |
