Dropbox online storage
Something many have been waiting for.
Dropbox is an online storage solution that fits seamlessly into your OS. It’s currently in Beta and accounts are by invite only. I received my invite from Thaweesak.
To get your files to Dropbox you can either use their upload page or install the Dropbox client which works on Windows or Mac. Linux is currently not supported but a client is in the works and should be out soon. Screenshot
With the Dropbox client you will be able to access your Dropbox files as if they were located on your local machine anytime anywhere provided you’re connected. Speed will surely be a concern but so far that has not been an issue with me since all synchronization happens in the background.
A shared folder feature also provided to enable users to share files with friends and the public.
So is it free? Yes, basic accounts are free but you will need to pay if you need more space. Currently, Beta users enjoy 2GB of space but free accounts will be limited to 1GB of space when Dropbox launches.
Get an invite, signup for a free account, install the client and you’re ready to go. I have a few, drop me a note if you need one.

On the subject of file backup, sharing and storage …
Online backup is becoming common these days. It is estimated that 70-75% of all PC’s will be connected to online backup services with in the next decade.
Thousands of online backup companies exist, from one guy operating in his apartment to fortune 500 companies.
Choosing the best online backup company will be very confusing and difficult. One website I find very helpful in making a decision to pick an online backup company is:
http://www.BackupReview.info
This site lists more than 400 online backup companies in its directory and ranks the top 25 on a monthly basis.
