Re: I need a file sharing service
I'm also in the Dropbox.com crowd, and I HIGHLY recommend it!
You set up a folder and share it with whomever needs access. The more people you invite to the party, the more space you get, up to a total of 10GB for FREE. You start with 2GB and each person you invite that installs Dropbox on their computer adds 250MB to your capacity.
I use it for both work and personal stuff. I have a couple folders shared with a couple friends and we trade files back and forth. For work I have shared folders with several different people. This is great for keeping up to speed with what is going on at different install sites and trading files that are not economical to email back and forth. We are even using it to store all the documentation for a small music festival that a local community group is putting on.
It lives on both my home and work computers as just a folder, but when I put stuff in the folders, or other people edit, delete, or add stuff to the folders, it updates that same folder on everyone's computer who is part of that folder's share. Also, it does do version control. The other day I had inadvertently deleted a file out of one of my folders. I was able to go online and find it in my account and restore it.
I'd be glad to invite anyone who is not yet on Dropbox to join! Just send me a private message with your email address and I'll jet you off an invite! Likewise, have questions? Ask them.
Edit: One additional fantastic feature of Dropbox is the app that I have on my Android phone. I have instant access to any file in my Dropbox on my phone (if it is connected to the internet) and I can also access any file in my Dropbox account from any other computer that is not mine by logging into the website.
