This is one of the coolest new things I've come across in a long time. Go to getdropbox.com and watch the video that is included. It has a pretty descriptive narrative.


Basically what this software does is allow basically allows you to maintain a folder that is accessable from any computer. Simmilar to how you can just upload a file to a website and re access it from anywhere else. This gives it a very attractive UI and also makes it pretty simple so the not so tech savvy parents will be able to easily upload pictures and files to you. Supposedly the technology is super fast, but I'm going to have to assume that it's still based off your net speed so a dial up modem would still take hours to transfer large files.

Either way, it'll be nice to be able to easily swap files from my office PC to my home PC without any upload download hassles. What do you guys think?

the link included also has a spot to sign up for the closed beta.

At first - I was worried about how well this would work, and of course security. Having seen the video - I'm very interested in this. Of course - there are the privacy concerns. However, for collaborative jobs - this is a must. Fantastic find. I espically love how it only sends the changes.
