    Hey guys, I've been using this application called dropbox for a while now and thought it'd be nice to share :D

    basically you install the app on multiple computers and the program automatically sync's a folder as you update it. ie, i use my desktop to download files and access it on my laptop. another cool trick is that in utorrent, there's a setting to automatically start a torrent when it is found in a certain folder, so i can download a torrent on my laptop remotely, drop it into my dropbox folder, and the desktop at home starts the download.

    The free version gives you 2GB of storage space, expandable up to 10GB for referrals (250MB per referral).

    If you sign up through this link, I get an additional 250MB and you do as well :)

    Referral links are against the forum rules

    I use it for all my school files. it's WONDERFUL, plus shared folders are amazing for group work.

    Yep. Thread closed. If you have questions about the product or want to discuss Dropbox, make a new thread.
