Bump! But I thought you'd like this: David Pogue wrote a new post, this time on Dropbox:
http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/20/dropbox-will-simplify-your-life/ He raves about how well it worked with a group working on a book together. For folks mystified about Dropbox, just read the earlier posts in this older thread. Basically you sign up for a fee 2G account, download some software, and specify a folder on your system you want to use for Dropbox. That's it. The folder is exactly like any other folder on your computer (Mac,Win,Linux). You can make new folders, add/remove/rename files or folders, and they automatically sync to your phone, your laptop, your pad/pod, desktop or server or any digital critter you may have. When we first discussed it, I thought it was simply hype the reports were so glowing. But nope, its true. Now for a prod: if you send mail to either me or any friend who has dropbox,, then we can "refer" you to Dropbox, thereby giving *us both* an extra .25GB of free storage. Yup, you will start out with an extra 250MB just for going through a friend, and your friend too will benefit. -- Owen
