Anyone else use dropbox.com?

[Ron Plichta]

One of the guitarists in my band turned us onto this program over the weekend. It uses "cloud" technology to store and access files real-time. He started the program then sent an invite to the other band members to download the program and join his "cloud". Next thing, the two of us are simultaneously posting files and can see what the other is doing.

Now our band has a real-time repository of material to access and we don't have to waste time e-mailing each other.

We've been using it for about five or six months. Works great.

What is the program? This is new to me and I'd like to look into it more, especially for the Mac platform.

Dropbox - Simplify your life

Yeah, it's pretty great. I use it to pass files back and forth and to keep files synced between my laptop and tower...record on the tower, rough-edit all over the place on my laptop. No work required on my part to keep them synced! One more tool in the toolbox.

Cool beans! Thanks for the link! Off to learn about Dropbox!

dropbox is cool.... some folks find Pando easier to use (unless they're geeky)

We use it. Good stuff.

Been using it for years. Be careful who you share out too though, as I found out when friends dumped in huge files into the shared folder, it can block your access and in one case my friends files were deleted from his (non shared) account (although this was probably due to user error....)

Another thing that is great with dropbox:

Any file you place in the "Public" folder it automatically creates a link to.

Ditto to this.

Another happy user of dropbox here.

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

I use it and I think it's a terrific program. The only annoyance I've found is that, sometimes, double-clicking on some of the public links I've sent to friends gives a 404 error. They must copy/paste the link in a new browser window/tab for it to work properly. Other than that, I'm very happy with it.

We use it, works great....there is even an Iphone app for it.

[paganjack]

Good stuff for sure!

[Nino Valenti]

I use it to so I can view some files that are on my computer on my iPhone and iPad. Love it.

[Beersurgeon]

Dropbox is super cool and easy to use!!!

[BullHorn]

I use it to generally ease the synchronisation between my smartphone, PC and laptop.

I share out MP3s and charts/notes with the rest of my 10-person band. It's GREAT, and MUCH easier to use than a central FTP/HTTP site for sharing stuff.
