Dropbox is a backup tool that lets you sync your files between multiple computers. You simply install the software on all computers you want to sync your files on. Then simply drag and drop your files into a folder that Dropbox software creates on your desktop and voila the files are now also on your other computers. No more need for a usb stick. Sync your files online and across computers with @Dropbox. 2GB account is free! http://db.tt/dw2gacy If you haven’t gotten Dropbox, get it now.

So, seeing as I'm running out of space to store my university work, I'd appreciate it! Same as the guy above, if you havn’t got Dropbox yet and you want an account, sign up using this link.

If anyone else wants to use my referral link for an additional free 250MB of storage (for both of us) please sign up through my link https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTU0ODUxNjY5 Thanks!

Didnt try Dropbox yet, but I have been invited by friend to use it. To anybody who has used both, is there any noticeable difference or any advantege to use Dropbox?

I share and store files with them. There's unlimited space for me to upload and I have a drop box for people to leave me files. My only problem with them is that you can only upload 500mb at a time which isn't even that big a problem. They are free and have an app for android. So I've never used Dropbox and I'm sure I'm just missing something really special about it, but not seeing how it could be any better than Go Aruna. Has anyone tried Go Aruna?

So I'm desperately waiting for the Dropbox! ;o) Well, the clear plus for me is that Dropbox has Linux support where Sugarsync doesn’t. So I’m desperately waiting for the Dropbox! ;o)

Hopefully there's some options to prevent downloading/synching of files above some size threshold. Not a whole lot of room to spare with music and pics on the N1's 4GB card.

(One of wich is a MacBook Pro) and I love it. While Dropbox has a mbile site I can access on my Droid and even snag files that I can then open with DocToGo or something, having a native app will me awesome! So nice to see Android getting all grown up. The Moto Droid is my first Android device and while its not perfect (what smartphone is?) I love it. Keep it up Phandroid, Google, Developers, Verizon, and the very supportive Android community! - K I have been a happy 50GB Drop Box customer across 2 laptops and a tablet PC.

Sure, create a home network. THat is doable for some, but dropbox offers cloud storage of 2GB for free, with an extra 1/4 GB for every person you refer, upto 5GB. I pay for the 50GB level for $100 per year; I sync my files between a home laptop, home desktop, and work desktop; and setup shares with other who I collaborate with. Add to that, Dropbox saves prior versions of files, with history for the past 30 days, forever if you pay the extra $40 for that (I do -- as Dropbox's version control saved my butt on a huge project last fall after a software crash). Could I do this with a home network file server? Sure. But who has the time and energy for it. Dropbox is easy; it is stable; and for most, it is free. AND now, I can use the moble site to easily grab files as I need them on my DROID. RE: seeking. Sure, create a home network.
