And, for every friend you introduce to Dropbox, they will give both you and your friend free 250 MB of bonus space up to 3 GB. For my needs at this very moment, the free account does me just fine. I do plan on getting a paid account and using it as a backup for video and music files, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I don’t even have a paid account yet, as I just use my free 2GB to store things I know I might need to use on the other computer sometime. The best part? They give you 2GB of storage and syncing for free. And while Evernote is fantastic for syncing notes and web clippings, Dropbox lets you backup/save/sync/access any kind of file. When you put something in your “dropbox”, it is instantly available on any other computer where you have it installed – pretty cool, right? I can even access the files on my iPhone. I am now using something called Dropbox which allows me to sync files between computers, access them from anywhere, even on different operating systems, and let’s me also share files with anyone else I want to give access to. Or at least I would have had to do that…but no more. And if the laptop isn’t on and connected to my network, I have to go through the process of booting it up, connecting to the network, sending the file to the desktop, etc. While I am on the laptop almost exclusively now, occasionally I find myself working on the desktop when I need a bigger screen for photo or video editing…and then needing a file that is back on the laptop. I have talked before about how I have 2 computers – my Macbook and my MacPro.
