Dropbox

Check out this brief video tutorial that I put together on Dropbox.  *I recommend expanding to full-screen view by clicking on the furthest bottom-right icon*

Considering I've only been using the app for a brief time now, I don't yet know how to use all of its features.  What I do know is that Dropbox is free and fairly simple to get started with.

While 2 GB may not seem like a whole lot of space, it's perfect for backing up your computer's documents.  Also, if you enjoy the service you can always upgrade to the Pro version or invite your friends to get more space (this is a handy marketing strategy by Dropbox; you get space, they get more visibility) .

As for sharing your documents, using Dropbox is a far better idea than e-mailing them out.  Similarly to Google Docs, housing the document in a central location online reduces the problem of having alternate versions floating around.  Unlike Google Docs, though, Dropbox won't allow you to collaborate in real-time.  It will, however, keep your document in its native format whereas Google Docs converts all text into its own personal format.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

P.S.  If you would like to try out Dropbox, use this link.  That way I'll get some extra space for my account ;)
