Signing up to Dropbox
What is drop box?
Dropbox is a cloud based file hosting service that allows users to store and share files and folders with others across the Internet using file synchronisation.
With the free version you start on a generous 2GB of storage! Dropbox is extremely flexible, offering a web based GUI and clients across multiple platforms including but not limited to Winodws, Linux, MAC and Android.
Before today, i just used to host my files on one of my other websites as it was a dedicated file host but now with 2.5GB of space (You get 250mb when you sign up using someone's referral link and 250mb from each person you refer.) i'll start using this and when you have local folders they auto sync to the web interface.
You can also have shared folders, i was thinking of having an mcompute folder where we can share stuff.
With the free version you can get up to 10GB! That's pretty impressive.
