[ED-TECH] Dropbox - A virtual USB drive (ffv011)

Do you have files that you need to work on at different computers? Do you mail yourself files so that you will be able to access them anywhere? Dropbox is a wonderful solution that you should know about.

To watch my short video that demonstrates Dropbox: http://funfridayvideos.com

Dropbox gives you 2 GB of free storage, synchronizes everything across multiple computers, and makes everything available from any computer with web access. This is different from some services that store files on the net. Dropbox stores the material on your computer, then copies it to the net and to any other computer where you have installed dropbox. So the files are actually on each computer, as well as on the net. It really is useful and might save you from carrying around, and possibly losing, a USB flash drive with all your important information.
