Dropbox is worth a try!

If you like to either backup files from your computer to an internet storage site, or need access to up to date versions of files on different computers, then Dropbox is probably worth looking into.

You can get 2Gb of free online storage / backup space by clicking on the link below:

I’ve been trying it for a while and it works better than iDisk, which is part of the MobileMe package. I found the following review, which backs up (please forgive the pun!) what I was thinking myself (can’t vouch for this blogger’s command of the English language, unfortunately, but he makes some good points!). http://tinyurl.com/yawhewk

It works on Windows or Mac or Linux. There is a small piece of inobtrusive software to download. After that the automated backing up and file synchronisation happens quickly and quietly in the background. There are other nice features, one of which is that it keeps a history of all the different versions of files that you save (and access every event that happens to your files and folders via an RSS feed – for those so technically inclined!). So if you want to go back to previous versions if you have edited a document, say, and saved it, then you can – very easily. The other thing is that you can share folders with other people very easily, although they have to be dropbox users too. This sharing feature is so much easier than Apple’s iDisk it’s like kindergarten by comparison. It’s also better than google docs, because you can share any type of file, not just office documents.

And if you sign up using the link above, then I get an extra 250 Mb of storage space!

Just thought I would share!
