Drop BoxSharing and syncing files between computers can be a tricky business. Try to access your work computer from home, and you run into firewall problems. Try to access a laptop that’s on a wireless network, and you run into issues of port configuration. And, as files (like photos) get larger and larger, the issue of getting them from one computer to another over a network becomes more and more frequent.

One solution to the problem is Drop Box, a free/paid-pro service that creates a shared folder on your computer. So what’s the big deal, right? Well, you can use this folder to sync and share items between just about any computer running a modern OS: Mac (Tiger and Leopard), Windows (XP and Vista), and Linux (Ubuntu 7.1 and Fedora 9). Any file that you place in your shared folder is uploaded to a secure server, and synced to the shared folder on other computers. If you’re away from one of your computers, you can also access your files via a web interface.

Drop Box

You can share your files with others by right clicking a file and sending them a URL. Drop Box comes with 2GB of free storage (50GB is available for $99/year or $9.99/month). You can get the installer from their web page, or get more info at the FAQ.
